Recording home videos for personal use within your immediate family was protected. Screening for people beyond that was not. Mr. Rogers famously gave us what little protection we had and insured that we could even have home VHS recorders. Testified before a congressional committee that was on the verge of banning it, changed one critical mind and that stopped it.
I’m willing to bet $100 this ain’t happening.
I didn’t realize there was a problem. So did all the streaming services fuck up the colors or something?
Appreciate that! Mad at gamerant for not doing it but appreciate you nonetheless lol it’s not even in the damn byline under it!
I’ve literally never seen a defense of denuvo by anyone other than those implementing it lol
Say the damn name in the title gamerant
It’s persona 5
If you use a reputable VPN like Proton or Mullvad to torrent the occasional movie/show and don’t torrent without it it’s incredibly unlikely you’ll get caught. Beyond that it’s completely about what you’re doing online and VPN’s are not magic bullets for all things. But for torrenting, it’s good enough 99.99999% of the time.
If you’re constantly torrenting hundreds of things a month, especially new releases, yeah you should do more. But that’s not some dude grabbing a 60 year old movie one time. For your example a VPN will get the job done and their ISP will be none the wiser.
If someone bases their entire piracy knowledge on my one liner that’s on them and I’d be shocked to see that on this instance. I’m all for making sure we acknowledge all experience levels but you’re taking that a little too far here. I made a condom joke dude.
My dude you are over interpreting this. It was just a fun little joke. I have a lot more than a VPN guarding my system.
A condom also doesn’t solve all your problems but it’s a good foundation lol
“I’m going to offload my need to be technically literate in order to pirate to my local library and let them deal with the problem because I’m an entitled asshole who shits where I eat and doesn’t realize I’ll get in trouble anyway.”
VPN’s are the rubbers of the internet
Yes actually. It’s what you should have done in the first place.
Like I said, it’s a stretch. But this isn’t some rampant issue or particularly time consuming. They should just ignore the question if they don’t want to answer it. People online just have such a hard time ignoring things.
And before someone else feels clever: Yes you could theoretically levy the same critique at me (though I’d disagree), but I would rather skip that part of the conversation as it is equally unproductive.
Unnecessary and unhelpful. Plenty of Linux users dual boot with MacOS/Windows. It’s a stretch sure but come on.
I aim to displease
Definitely fair. I was more just continuing the bit above
Because we mostly understand the issue but not well enough to fix it! Weeeeeeeeeee!
The beauty of working in video production is I always have a tool I can run stuff through for very legal and very cool capture purposes.
