I’m not talking about paying for USB’s; there’s definitely an inherent risk to that if you don’t know where the source is. It could work within groups of close friends. I’m talking about downloading and paying for a game directly from the person/group that cracked it and through their site. I think OP is trying to make a financial incentive for cracking to exist in the future.

I would unironically pay up to 50% of the worth of a AAA game (maybe through crypto, Monero would be a perfect usecase for this) to to a cracker to download a non-DRM game from them than to pay the full amount to the studio.

Adding DRM makes no sense. People might be incentivized to pay and download directly from the cracker’s site (lets say, fitgirlrepacks) than from torrent reuploads that might contain malware. That might be where the profit incentives come in to entice crackers to do their valuable work.

Cool, a fellow i2p enthusiast! We really should transfer or at least offload existing piracy infrastructure to i2p. I’m gonna keep shilling i2p as well haha. By then, piracy will be nigh unstoppable. I dream of the time when pirates rule the high seas once more.

i2p all the way!

Dm me if u want one

Funny how Web3 promised a more decentralized internet but shits themselves when pirated books are shared. Like, do you want freedom of information or not. It confirms that web3 is just another big tech buzzword.

Sucks that clearnet IPFS gateways (ahem cloudflare) censor pirated books tho

Thanks for the clarification. Hope they get the greasiest lawyer they can find outta this.

Mentally translating this as: Competition from the free market unfairly prosecuted by a tyrannical state that enforces the monopoly of “intellectual property” of corporations

This is insane. This does not warrant a 48 year sentence; some actual rapists and murderers get off for less time. The “justice” system is a joke and doesn’t prosecute criminals. It prosecutes those that threaten the system.

Code a terminal application that downloads from libgen from a c tutorial book you downloaded from libgen

Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment is doublespeak at its finest. Bravo

I don’t think they’re talking about the Somalian kind of pirate here boys…

Haha your welcome :3 Thank the dl-librescore devs!

Ah of course i was gonna say even with a cgnat they would have some way of identifying the traffic.

Thank you. So in a way if the carriers upgrade their infrastructure there would be a decrease in privacy because then it’s a one-to-one correspondence between IP address and customer, but then the customer would have the ability to host servers? The one scenario where the industry dragging their heels on upgrading is actually good for the consumer (in some respects) lol

Adding commas to that number: 4,294,967,296 addresses. More humans that IP address seems like a huge miscalculation in the internet infrastructure

Oh boi i didn’t know ipv6 was this spicy

ELI5?

Ok, i’ll edit my post to include that too, as it seems it’s a more general solution :)
