Just would like to have a discussion on the topic. I’ve purchased around 20ish movies/shows on Vudu, and my wife has grown to be unhappy with Vudu’s UI and especially how the watch progress works. I am curious what some others thoughts on this are. My initial thoughts are I recognize I’ve purchased a license to watch the...
Yeah I know it’s not legal in my country and state, but was just trying to get a feel for different opinions on the morality of my question. For me I just like making sure the creator of the media I really enjoy get’s some kind of support, that way I’m voting a little with my dollar. So far I’m really thinking I’ve paid for the media once and once is more than enough.
Yeah you’ve hit the nail on the head. I was merely trying to gain some perspectives outside my own. Ethics is not something for me to define at all. That being said, I’ve decided that I have paid for the media and as such have a right to retain full control over that media as long as I don’t sell it or distribute it widely.
Yeah it’s crazy how much the world has changed even in my short lifetime, especially with the mass adoption of digital media. It’s going to be so difficult for people to retain their rights to what they purchase.
Yeah I knew this would be a skewed sample of opinions, but I was also warry of posting this anywhere else since piracy is a touchy subject on some other instances. Also yeah I’m thinking that since I’ve purchased the media I should have full rights to do with said media whatever I please (other than selling it).
Wanted to “aquire legitimately” a movie and from there learned more and more about how big business and big brothers all over like to invade privacy for power and profit.
Hello! I have some q’s about torrenting as the title implies. First, I know that torrenting requires a VPN capable of P2P, but i cant afford a vpn with such capabilities. is there any free ones available?...
I’m pretty new to torrenting as well. To answer your questions based on the personal research I’ve done.
You absolutely require a VPN. Definitely a paid one. The free ones are not of good quality and a lot of them are more than likely to be detrimental to your privacy. Also P2P is not a requirement for torrenting. All it does is it enables you to make more connections in the swarm and making the torrent download faster. Some good recommendations of VPN’s with port forwarding I’ve seen thrown around are Proton VPN, Airvpn. Options without port forwarding are Mullvad, or IVPN.
I’ve been using 1337x for movies and TV shows and it’s been great. I’ve also heard Torrent Galaxy is good as well. As always though be really careful with what you download no matter what. Always run a scan on files you download.
Yeah it’s fairly comperable. A while after we got it our town got fiber optic so that’s obviously better speeds for around the same price. However a big incentive was how mobile Starlink is and we experience quite a bit less instability than the ISP’s around here.
an analysis of historical video game availability shows that only 13% of classic video games are currently commercially available across consoles and time periods, and only 3% of games prior to 1985
It is kinda hard. Just riding on their “Trust me bro”. I do appreciate how open 1password is at least, they seem somewhat trustworthy as a company for now.
Hi! I just got a new computer recently, and I’m concerned about browser security and security in general. Any recommendations for a good secure browser? Preferably open source.
I really like using Brave. Seems to strike a good overall balance. It has some annoying things like the crypto crap, but luckily you can customize a lot of that so you don’t see it.
