>YOU PIRATED A 70 YEAR-OLD FILM YOU SICK FREAK!
>>219338673Does anyone actually get in trouble for torrenting movies or TV shows? The only thing I've ever heard in my city was a guy getting busted for downloading 30TB of TV shows from an internet cafe a decade ago.
>>219338673no one should be making money of art after the people making it are dead
>>219341360AT&T told me they were going to remove my service for doing it. I dumped them and went with spectrum and AT&T called me up asking why I dumped them, telling me they wouldn't shut down my service for pirating movies because everyone does that. It was funny and bizarre at the same time.
>>219338673>IT WAS THREE AWAYS FROM BEING IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
>>219341360Yes>>219341609That's funny because my parents had spectrum. We got a letter saying we'd get in trouble if we pirated anything else. I confessed to it and stopped pirating anything while living there.
Did you know that you can get DMCA'd on youtube even if you hum a famous song?
>>219341360I got an email from Universal saying they were going to sue me because I torrented Baseketball in like 2009
>>219338673I just watched a movie from 2012 last night. Shit was so cash.
>>219341360Only if it's something new/hot and the studio is watching the particular torrent. I've gotten in trouble for torrenting a season of Westworld, and later torrenting Dexter: New Blood It caused me to switch to only torrenting porn, and using "free" streaming sites for most mainstream content instead of downloading it.
>>219341360Very loosely, yeah. Frontier got on my ass for it like a year ago or so, but its kinda just the vague threat of lawsuit or terminating our internet contract. Spectrum actually just got me last week because qbittorrent started on startup before my VPN was on an got flagged for downloading star trek. They actually suspended my internet for like a day until I read their email and basically acknowledged that I was torrenting, but after that they put the internet back on in like 10 min. Funnily enough they may have like a limit to when they actually intervene cause on the list of "occurences", they even got some slip ups from back in January, but there was no fuss.
>>219342239yeah it's absurd
>>219341609It's not AT&T's fault dumbass, they have to comply with copyright law. It's your fault for blatantly torrenting. As someone else says Spectrum does the same thing, in fact all ISPs have to do the same thing or they themselves will be shut down. So either figure out a way to not blatantly torrent or just don't torrent the latest movies/tv.
Why is the blu ray of Coherence $20?
>>219338673I had to pirate The Night Nurse the other day, it was made in 1931. How much money do these kikes need?
only in the US can providers threaten you because you torrented a movie, maybe the UK or Australia too but I doubt it.
If I own the physical copy why cant I download it off a website?
>>219343488>Have the 2012 blu-ray version>Download the 2019 Criterion releaseOFF TO HELL WITH YOU
>>219341360My Dad got a threatening email once when I was living at home. Since I've moved out, never.
>>219343344This is 100% false, it happens in every western country at least. It's not unreasonable at all. Why is it unreasonable?
>>219343922>it happens in every western country at leastNope.
>>219341360ive been pirating stuff for almost 20 years. only time i ever got a notification was maybe 8 years ago when i tried to download "coach carter" off of thepiratebay.since then ive never gone on a public torrent site again.
>>219343344It’s not a threat, it’s the isp automatically taking measures to absolve themselves of legal liability in cases of their network being used to commit copyright infringement, as defined by the DMCA. The copyright holders only notify the ISP that such and such ip address was seen on an active torrent. That said, the copyright holders no longer bother and it’s mainly vpn companies using automated response actions as a form of advertising.
>>219343344I've gotten them before in Australia but you just ignore them, nothing came of it, kept pirating, zero fucks given
>>219343344>>219344018Pretty sure Germany will ass fuck you for it
>>219343922Sweden is the king of piracy.
>>219344161Ah yes, USA and Germany, those two are every western country.
>>219344018>>219344161I'm in Ireland and like every other country we copy the EU. If Ireland is doing it every EU country and UK and Australia are doing it. I'm not even big against piracy, I just like things to make some level of sense. Torrenting a movie is blatantly and obviously downloading and uploading it. It'd be like if you just created a website and put up a copyright movie on it. Sound right? Or if you uploaded a new Hollywood movie straight to Youtube. They can't block an account like a webhost but they can block your isp. I feel like it's your retardation that isn't letting you see that it's the same thing. You either figure out a way to pirate on the down low or you wait until a movie is old enough that people it's not hot shit anymore to download it.
>>219338673I only consider paying for a movie if it's made by someone who's still alive AND they're not rich. Otherwise fuck 'em.
>>219338673
>>219341360They said if I did it again they were going to shut off my internet>DunkandEgg
>>219344800>AND they're not richYou know that's overly reductive, right? Directly or indirectly, movie revenue goes to everyone who works on them, the thousands who could be listed in the credits. Not just the director or other higher-up
>>219343085Yes, I'm aware they're legally required to do that, I just though it was funny that they begged me to come back after I dumped them. Hell, I don't even pirate movies that much anyway. So how about you go fuck yourself, you annoying moralizing faggot?
>>219341360>Does anyone actually get in trouble for torrenting movies or TV shows? No the only person getting in trouble are the people running the sites/uploaders
Private torrent sites. Look into it
>THE ANIMALS WHO ACTED IN THIS MOVIE ARE STILL ALIVE YOU SICK FUCK
>>219342867You haven't set it up right in that case, you need to change the settings so it only uses the VPN
>>219342239honestly pretty crazy since i don't have good pitch at all, so according to all legal metrics it's not even the same song.
>>219351128>movie revenue goes to everyone who works on them, the thousands who could be listed in the creditsNot really, they're paid salaries.
>>219351953Salaries funded by the revenue the studio's movies bring in. Hence, "or indirectly"
>>219344154I've been torrenting for years and never gotten a letter. Sometimes websites get blocked, and it varies from ISP to ISP, but they've never once told me to stop.
>>219341360A guy I went to college with got called into the IT office for torrenting like half a dozen songs. It may have been to shame him for how bad the songs were.
>>219338673By the way, you don't get notices for pirating old (1960s or earlier) or foreign (non-English) films from any time period.
>be late 90's>for some reason my podunk town has cable internet>be into warez IRC scenes>set up DCC bot on my home computer>ISP sends a letter to stop...5 years later>torrenting starts to pick up>my older sister torrents buffy the vampire slayer>get similar letter>i torrent american wedding because a girl i wanted to bang wants to watch it>ISP cuts our service>have to use NetZero dialup after like 5 years of having a cable modemshit was not cash bros. torrenting sucks, i never do it, except for legal stuff.
>>219354565PIA is dirt cheap and made for piracy.
>>219354638i can still obtain the things i want to obtain without torrenting.
>>219344021pussy
THAT FILM HAD A 17 YEAR OLD YOU SICK FUCK
>sir, he just torrented another film>but you’re gonna wanna take a look at this…>jesus christ. A camrip. Not even a 720rip… just a kid>The sick fuck
>>219354565I lived with my grandma and used dial up until 2008
>>219341360Been torrenting movies+TV shows via tpb+u torrent in New Zealand and Australia since 2013. Never once got a letter or threat to cancel service in either country despite using a bunch of different Internet providers
>>219342628>Only if it's something new/hot and the studio is watching the particular torrent. the latter part is far more importantone of only two times I've gotten warnings from my ISP about tv/film was for torrenting the first godfather a 50 year old film, the other was beauty and the beast for my younger siblings (to add to my original point my only other warning was for the original zoo tycoon lmao, yes a 23 year old game considered abandonware since you can't legally buy it easily)anecdotally I hear disney is the most anal about sending out ISP warnings
>>219358749Why did you live with your grandma?
>>219360159My parents died
>>219341360Probably not in most countries unless you download a massive amount of data, distribute it and or try to make a profit off it on very public and accessible websites.
>>219342317To be fair someone back then probably thought they could actually crack down on pirating.
