But remember, nforce doesnt provide the torrent file. They just provide the release name and. The torrent file you have to get through various bit torrent sites like torrentspy. Be careful doing this coz even fakes can be uploaded with identical name of scene release.
BJ Boehm, Downside of private trakers are that most of them are invitation based and have very strict laws on leeching rightly so though so thats why most ppl try public sites. But yeah they are waay more reliable than public ones. Help fight fake torrents!! Hi, I've been a heavyweight downloader of aXXo's releases for some years now, and I gotta say that the website: axxo.
But I haven't had anyone knocking on my door yet! I have however, come across too many of these 'fakes' across the regular websites, and it's time someone does a number on the asshole corporations by screwing with their operations - I'm not suggesting anything, but as a movie buff, I'm just tired of the BS that we, as an internet community have to put up with.
We have something that the corporations do not: "decency". We share our things, but they steal from us! Post a Comment. One such file surfaced Wednesday on Mininova. It was taken down quickly after commenters said it wasn't what it appeared to be. So long as a sufficiently high quality torrent is to be had, these people never go buy the disc. They delete the ones they don't like and burn the ones they do.
It's arguable that price is irrelevant so long as it's greater than free, but there's probably some insanely cheap price point at which they'd go for the purchased product if only to have the box it comes in. Music torrents somewhat fall into this category automatically, since people really only want the files, and there are seldom disc extras in the way of DVDs.
Also, in terms of sticking in one's craw, CDs and DVDs reached the same price point some time ago for all but new titles , which made CDs seem like an incredibly raw deal much earlier. And there's no incentive to steal like feeling cheated in the first place. So I'm with you, but I think a lot of people over the last few years moved from group 1 to group 2, for a variety of reasons, mostly to do with upgraded equipment and familiarity with the process, as well as better torrents.
So fewer samplers, those cutting into the rental biz, and more burners, those cutting into the sellers. And 3. Get a disc, burn it to a copy and add the copy to their personal library for later retrieval, and return the netflix disc.
Repeat until you have everything you'd ever want. I don't really like movies that much. As for those in category 2 or 3 no longer paying for their entertainment including downloaders of music. An answer? Make the packaging something you can't replicate, and has some value of it's own.
But I think that's also a lost point, given that some people will even sell all their vinyl and clearly state "copied it to MP3, I don't need them any more. Will DRM or harsher penalities shift the tides?
Highly doubtful. The means of piracy has changed the market, and the market needs to move with it, or battle uphill to retain some profits. There's always the chant "give us something worth paying for," but like you said, those in category 2 or 3 don't really think it's worth that much, especially given the option of free.
I'll leave that brainstorming up to others. By the way, filthy light thief is my notion of photographers, though it's oddly fitting for this discussion at hand. I always thought aXXo was a group. I mean, what? So, some guy re-tags a scene rip as his own and 'releases' it onto p2p. Bra vo. It's a well recognized name, and when you download an aXXo torrent, you know you'll get good quality.
He, or it, they, she, whatever, make the whole thing a hell of a lot easier. If, unfortunately, my enjoyment of one of his torrents has a pimply faced geek seething with rage that I know aXXo's handle, but not his, well, too freaking bad. It's a handle. PlanetMaster yo! One thing that "piracy" has made increasingly evident is that copying is quite unexpensive these days, as it's all done with electronics at a cost of few cents for a gigabyte or less.
This is an huge consumer surplus being privatized and directed in the pockets of few companies and individuals. The usual argument is that all these revenues make the living of an undisclosed allegedly large number of individuals, not just the usual few CEOs and multimillion dollar stars and their agents, but also writers, producers and a little seen mass of non-celebrities behind the scenes, finally reaching the dvd store clerk as well, "blessed" by being given the opportunity of not being yet another burger flipper.
What's even less evident is the revenue distribution is such that few people take the most of those revenues, while the greater portion take crumbs. Of course, nobody has been forcing anybody to buy or pay anything, which is ok in my book. I can imagine a livid Jack Valentining still spinning in his grave, as he can't reconcile himself with the fact that the genie is out of the bottle and little could be done to save the good old business model he helped keeping alive.
Yes Jack, more and more people know that copyright legislation has been abused to protected the interest of fews, with laughable extensions of 70 plus years to protect the god given rights of the heirs of the heirs of the creator of mickey the mouse. Equally laughable is the pretense of protecting good, educational books or content from not being published because of their production and distribution costs.
While this may have been true in a not distant past, it is no longer the case and anyhow the greater portion in terms of value of goods being protected with copyright these days is of questionable intellectual and educational value. Unless, of course, one believes that overthought soaps and gangsta rap is what is elevating the masses from ignorance these days god I miss Happy Days before Fonzie jumped the shark. All of this while keeping the flexibility that comes with being able to pick and choose and change mind in a few days.
Yet is seems that piracy , used as an excuse, has been valuable for those who managed to push legislations that makse the users of contemporary media internet, blank dvds an cds pay some kind of a "copyright tax". The argument is that, as evil pirates are able to break protections sooner or later, then the consumers must pay a tax for the privilege of using blank media of some type. You know you guilty, so shut up and pay the extra dimes or else.
Even worse, attempts to hijack the control of copying machines personal computers et al have been and still are being made. Yet what such circutry may do is also preventing you from copying such content, sometimes even your own, while often not allowing for a backup copy.
All of this while missing the main point: an handful of hardcore enthusiasts will always exploit the fact they know how to take advantage of the advancements of technology and always will. The great masses, on the other hand, would be more than happy with paying relatively few bucks for the convenience of real time streaming to their PCs or televion sets of whatever content they choose to view, without having to mess with PCs and Tivo and whatnot.
They will also pay extra for well prepared extra content on their favorite subjects. Of course there will always be people that will try to save a penny or two, but those are unlikely to just give away for free all their content to somebody else taking a customer away , save for a few ideologically driven people who just want to fight the system, that will cease to be a menace once the system stops mass exploitation.
Huh, not familiar with the netflix-burn crowd, but that makes sense. The demographics of the great masses are changing, and the proportion to whom torrenting is a trivial exercise is constantly growing. I agree with those above who said it all comes down to it being easy, cheap, and relatively high quality. People are lazy, but you have to reach the point where your target group has more money than time. Good luck with that.
Christ, what an aXXo. Yes torrenting is trivial enough, yet it's relatively low speed compared to direct stream or multicast, not entirely reliable and not constant. Imagine being a video junkie and having access to a well organized and maintained stash of almost any video ever made by an hollywood studio or what have you. A few clicks and the video is streaming to your tv. A few extra bucks and you can have a copy streamed to your hd, or even better a discounted access should you choose to watch it again, without the cost of maintaning a backup or having to trust that john doe will not turn off his pc cutting you off from the data needed to finish the torrent.
Wouldn't that be better than torrent? Of course, it has to been seen working to be believed. What's better for. Last time I ripped a DVD it took about 25 min to actually do plus about an extra half-hour of stuffing about with configs, but that time would go down to zero very quickly , and the technology has probably advanced since then.
So assuming each rip, from DVD to. Even if one only did a dozen or so disks a day, a very respectable DVD collection could be converted in a couple of months, to be copied and swapped around. I wonder if eventually we will evolve backwards to where we were in the Middle Ages, so far as major artists and their works are concerned.
For example, lets say a musical prodigy arises, the best pianist in five hundred years. Instead of making a CD for chump change, he hires himself out entirely to a wealthy benefactor. Nobody else gets to hear his music, there are no recordings made, high quality or otherwise.
The artist lives a life of wealth, his family is set, his children can afford the finest colleges. The wealthy benefactor, he has something nobody else anywhere has very important to a segment of the wealthy. There is no piracy, because there is nothing to be copied. The would-be pirates are left sitting outside the castle in the cold. The rich benefit perhaps they would trade performances among themselves , and the artists benefit. The rest of humanity, well, they'd be the ones missing out, culturally speaking, and there'd be nothing they could do about it.
As a wise man named Paul Atreides once said, and I paraphrase I'm sure, "He who can destroy a thing has the ultimate power over that thing. If they ever organize doubtful, but who knows , they could easily stamp out mass piracy by going back to the benefactor-gets-it-all and nobody else gets any model.
Except when the servants get together for a drink and trade cellphone recordings of cool stuff they heard while waiting on their plump masters. Music is now an ingrained cultural commodity, unlike its place in the Middle Ages as I imagine it. It also explains aXXo's motivations, and his anger at seeing his name taken in vain. Like Bruce Wayne, aXXo may only be celebrated for the actions of his alter ego, but he is celebrated all the same.
According to a study by Envisional, P2P networks and their ilk account for at least 60 per cent of all internet usage. In the UK alone, more than six million people shared an estimated 98 million illegal downloads in These numbers will only grow as broadband speeds increase. Virgin Media recently launched the first 50Mb broadband service, and hopes to make it available to the entire UK customer network of 12 million in At that speed, a DVD-quality movie could be downloaded to a home desktop in less than four minutes.
Earlier this month, an estimable group of disgruntled British film-makers — including Kenneth Branagh, Richard Curtis and Stephen Daldry — signed a letter to The Times demanding government action against the internet service providers ISPs who make illegal filesharing possible. The MPAA, meanwhile, is already lobbying the incoming Obama administration in the US to improve internet filtering technology in the hope of foiling online piracy.
Thanks to new legislation, President Obama will be required to nominate the country's first "copyright tsar" to oversee such issues. The biggest problem for anti-piracy groups is the growing social acceptability of illegal filesharing. I talk to teachers and solicitors who'll say they streamed something from the internet, without realising it's illegitimate. Downloading movies is an apparently victimless crime, and if there is a victim, it's "The Man".
There is a meme sloshing around that suggests they overestimate the numbers. They used to equate the cost of piracy to the [entertainment] industry as a multiple of how many files were being shared illicitly online, which assumes that if you didn't get the stuff for free, you'd go out and buy all of it — which simply doesn't hold. It's even difficult to prove the pirates' detrimental effect on individual films. The most pirated movie of , according to TorrentFreak's annual listing, was also the year's biggest box-office success: Batman sequel The Dark Knight.
Although it was downloaded more than seven million times on BitTorrent alone, Ernesto reported in his accompanying post, comments on various sites suggest that many of the downloaders had also paid to see the film at the cinema. One enthusiastic, London-based torrent-user who preferred to remain anonymous estimates that he downloads around four or five films each week including The Dark Knight.
However, he says, "I pay to go to the cinema at least once a week. I very rarely buy DVDs, but then who does? Most of my friends prefer to subscribe to DVD rental sites like Lovefilm. Ownership of the physical artefact seems increasingly moot. The commercial cinema is increasingly homogenic; there are hundreds of films that never get decent distribution, and now I have a platform to see them.
For example, I waited months for Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain to come out in the cinemas — when it finally did, it screened on three or four screens spread across Greater London, none of them for more than a week. Roughly a month later it was online. The Dark Knight's internet leak followed a standard pirate release pattern: immediately after the film's July premiere, a "cammed" version, filmed secretly from a seat in the theatre, dropped onto the web.
Next, in early September, a DVD-screener copy with the film interrupted at intervals by title cards announcing a copyright breach made its way online. In an article written for Torrentfreak. We can throw lawsuits at them and hope they go away. Sometimes this is the best thing to do. But what if those pirates are adding value to society in some way? In these cases, what pirates are actually doing is highlighting a better way for us to do things; they find gaps outside the market, and better ways for society to operate.
In these situations the only way to fight piracy is legitimise and legalise new innovations by competing with pirates in the marketplace. Mason's book demonstrates that the history of piracy is also a history of innovation, one that includes the names Thomas Edison inventor of the record player and William Fox founder of Hollywood. Ernesto agrees: "The ever-increasing piracy rates show there is a demand that the entertainment industry has not satisfied.
Thanks to the internet, access to media on demand has become reality, and people seem to love it.
