Did we lose the battle for piracy?
Mangadex is dead.
Libgen is dead.
Z-lib is semi-dead.
Annas is semi-dead.
Kindle ripping is dead.
Good streaming websites are dead.
Good torrent websites are dead.
Denuvo can't be cracked.
One Piece is shit now.

And now all countries are implementing real ID requirement to access the internet.

Piracy is easier than ever, no need to torrent anything, you can stream all the content you need and if you really need to download shit there's clients for that or you can build a scraper yourself (I've done this a couple times for WNs). No need to risk breaking the law by seeding, the piracy websites take on all the risk and you only pay by ads (which you can block most of.)

False. Try .gs & .li
>Z-lib is semi-dead.
>Annas is semi-dead.
How?
>Mangadex
Good. Manga readers' mental sanity is always suspect. Potential school shooters.
>Good streaming websites are dead
False. You don't know where to look.
>Good torrent websites are dead
Piratebay has been working ultra smooth for me since 2010.

How so?

The battle for piracy has been WON. Anna's Archive is only like a few hundred terabytes at most. That means one copy is like the price of a car. In 10 or 20 years there will be thousands of copies dude. The battle is won.

Most of the things I want to pirate are impossible to find. Showa era variety shows, wiped out because there is no preservation culture in Japan, and if there is, it's purely boomers trading VHS tapes. Non-western sheet music, I can buy a youtuber's anisong arrangement for 5 bucks but good luck pirating it. The other day I wanted to watch a new series on DMM, nobody has uploaded it anywhere.

All the shit you're into is trivial to find.

Japan doesn't have school shootings, projectionist retard.

Piracy is still alive and doing just right. It's faggots that want everything served on a silver plate that are filtered. Dig deeper, faggot.

>>106509816
There's literally not a single anime or manga worth perserving, the japanese have never made anything of value. Cartoons, Comics, Film, Shows, Podcasts, are all easily found online streamable for free, and all the bigger and most important shit is uploaded to pirate too on shit like 1337x by QxR and other people ripping Blu-Rays if available and repacking them for normalfags in decent quality to size ratio. Libgen and Annas Archive works fine for me, just use different proxies tard. Vidya that don't use denuvo are all cracked day one, and most denuvo vidya stop paying the denuvo subscription sooner or later. Piracy is healing more than ever, we're moving away from the primitive torrenting model slowly and embracing just hosting on DDL sites with high download speeds and ad+donation systems that allow that to happen. Plus it's so easy and convenient to find safe sites to pirate from using shit like FMHY, that nowadays pirating can be more convenient than buying a service that has you give your credit card, email, setup 2fa, verify everything, and also forces you to still watch ads or navigate through a bloated service.

Piracy won.

just because you're too stupid to find anything doesn't mean anything is dead. It just means you're lazy and stupid.

i love yify so much

>Libgen is dead.
libgen still works (libgen dot li).
>Kindle ripping is dead.
Just don't buy kiked devices
>Good torrent websites are dead.
rutracker and 1337x are still here
>Denuvo can't be cracked.
Just dont play kiked games (I know that its hard to do because gamers have no moral spine and demand for instant gratification worse than your average alphakid, but you can always change that).
>And now all countries are implementing real ID requirement to access the internet.
Pretty much all of them had those a longer while ago. You can always buy pre-registered sim cards from criminals or learn how to break into random people's wifi. In terms of service-level KYC then this is mostly bypassable as well with residential proxies, stolen IDs etc. and everyone who really wants to get around those will do that. You just can't be a braindead subhuman, a.k.a. the vast majority of people here who post about muh censorship on /g/ nowadays (most /pol/ tourists btw). I can confirm that youtube KYC can be bypassed with account made with US phone number, that you can buy for like 50 cents online.

Piracy is dead is dead in the sense that not anybody is allowed to upload torrents and shit anymore, it's always just the same clique of retards doing shitty rips and encodes.
