Let them take down and continue the cycle, not sharing would be defeating the purpose of piracy in the first place. We have survived by hopping around for this long and will continue to do so.
There was a period of time where I was watching a significant amount of new movies coming out on pornhub. Then some jerkoff wrote an article about it and it got posted to reddit and blew up. Like days later pornhub clamped down on that shit hard.
Is this some sort of public tracker issue I’m too private trackers and Usenet only to understand?

Solution: search with Yandex. Russkies don’t give a fuck about western complaints of copyright, so every pirate site can show up there. Ahoy! 🦜 🏴☠️⛵
for some reason yandex almost always gives like three captchas per search for me (all ya.ru, yandex.eu and yandex.com), does it work ok for yall?
I use one of the instances of 4get.ca to search Yandex and other engines
If users can find those sites then corpos find it as well. They don’t need YouTube videos to find out about that. I bet it is even someones job in big corporations to find pirate sites and I’d bet the last place they look is on YouTube.
I thought it about getting way more traffic than the site could sustain leading to shutdown.
This is what I’ve seen sites credit as a reason the most (and copyright infringement).
if too many people know about the site, it will draw attention of the corpos too. that is why i cant fathom why some video sites i have used even tell you to share the site with other people in social media or whatnot.
No
Yes?
I agree with you. But at the same time, filming a tiktok promoting criminal activity is really stupid. Not telling people should be rule number 1.

But they make it more known than before unlike our word of mouth strategy which keeps it in the inner circle for longer
Meaning more possible victims to their legion of lawyers.
I’m anyway, it is more impactful to take down a grown sure than a rather unknown
Where would someone avoid to not see F1 race streams live?
Maybe https://fmhy.net/video#live-tv-sports Or https://ppv.to/ Or maybe https://rentry.org/megathread-movies-and-tv#live-tv-sports
Hopefully one of those can help but not sure as I don’t watch f1
Thanks! I’ll give them a look!
This Apple TV deal has me fucking pissed - I just want a nice little Sky Sports torrent within a few hours of the race, is that too much to ask?
Seems it sometimes. Heartbreaking really
Man you almost had it with the rhythm of technologic but you didn’t complete the end with another ‘it’.
You had one job.
Wait a njnite, is it really supposed to be 6 or 7?
Maybe it should be named something you can’t say on youtube
Like killsuiciderape.xyz
WHAT IS UP YOUTUBE today we’re gonna be talking about ksr.xyz dont forget to like subscribe and hit the bell icon
Oh no, the youngins are on their “if no one talks about it, the corpos won’t know” delusion again.
Security through obscurity isn’t security, and plenty of sites have survived longer than most of you have been pirating despite coverage by actual news organizations. Your least (or most) favorite youtuber (or forum, or guide, or wiki) isn’t moving the needle.
If you aren’t part of the actual scene that’s sourcing shit for day 0 (or earlier) upload you have nothing to worry about regarding open discussion through psuedonymous social media. Or people making youtube videos. Or guides etc.
Pirate sites and fan projects that get shut down weren’t going to last anyway. Real ones arr either set up to last or find a way to continue. Like Pirate Bay and AM2R.
Real ones arr
Nice
Okay so the corpos know… But compared to power users and then giving that same information to Joe Nobody who had no idea these things existed…that forces them to be a lot more aggressive because now you have “mainstream” attention
Hence my mention about Pirate Bay. There were multiple mainstream news stories about it. Multiple of the founders were unmasked and put on trial, but the site was constructed so that it kept running. It is still running to this day, despite it no longer being the face of piracy that it was long ago.
There’s some irony in that you still think the Pirate Bay has some use in today’s way of pirating. Okay, grandpa, you’re out of nursing home curfew.
Let me guess, today’s way is tiktok?
I’m a simple man.
I got to thepiratebay.org
I download what I want and put it on a jellyfin server
I never want much just some albums or a couple movies.
Its good enough and I’m pretty happy I don’t do anything crazy. I shouldn’t be watching this much TV as it is!
I never said that and you’re wildly missing my point. If the person running your site hasn’t run things in a way that they can tank some news coverage, it was doomed from the start.
Take this very lemmy instance. The public facing load balancer they currently use is hosted in France. They aren’t revealing anything beyond that and it’s not something that can be found by anyone not involved with the systems administration side of things. The admins are careful to practice proper opsec as well, not revealing their home country.
You can find all sorts of writeups about countless less than legal sites and projects, both ones that survived and ones that died. Not a single dead one is dead because of attention. Most are dead because the people running it made some mistake that allowed authorities to find their real identity so they could be prosecuted. Or because of internal drama. Or rising costs, like myrient which is closing the end of this month.
Sacrebleau! They’re on to us!!
The last time I even remember private trackers being taken down was in the days of Oink.UK and What.CD.
Oink was shut down in 2007 and What was shut down in 2016, both mostly because they had grown so big they were hard to ignore. A lot of modern sites keep an upper limit on the accounts they allow to prevent too much growth and attracting attention.
Hell, I remember baconBits having an upper limit of less than 10,000 accounts. Once that limit was reached, you couldn’t even send out invites.
Also, public trackers that were huge like RARBG survived until finances shut them down, via COVID and the war in Ukraine, they were never taken down forcibly, and they were massive and widely used.
My pass the popcorn account is older than my 20yo son.
Me, still using Pirate Bay since before most of the people in this sub were born.
As is tradition.
Traditiooooon! TRADITION!
My country plays wack a mole with their domains. I mostly rely on 2 private trackers now
Wouldn’t this be solved by using a DNS server your country as no control over?
But anyway PirateBay is not recommended anymore.
I use Firefox private DNS and still it doesn’t work for some reason.
Depends on how the country is doing it. If they are just flat out dropping traffic to the routes, changing DNS won’t save you.
They would need to do DPI and drop the packet using its SNI. Websites, especially pirates ones, really need to implement ECH, this would prevent this.
If you’re not using a VPN to visit PB.org from a non- problematic country, are you even trying?
Not sure what this comment means. I’m in a poor eastern country and I use VPN to Netherlands to browse torrent trackers. Pretty sure my country is far more problematic than central EU, but for whatever reason my poor country protects US interests more than most of the EU
My torrent program and prowlarr use a VPN. I don’t bother using it for normal browsing.
You must Imagine Sisyphus a happy pirate
weird to blame video form lol.
Popular video gets attention. Attention reaches company. Company reaches for lawyers. Lawyers reach for cease and decist forms.
Company worries about massive mainstream attention compared to being niche
