I tried ReVanced but kept getting ads anyway, especially banner ads and ads in shorts so I went and bought Premium Family for me and my friends. Then I realised I needed SponsorBlock so now I have YouTube Premium + ReVanced (with the block ads patch disabled)

I am sure that the ReVanced group have probably fixed the issue and ads are properly blocked now but its so cheap in my country (especially Premium Family) that I don’t even think about it

I’d expect the ReVanced team to add this as a patch soon, seems very cool

They mean debrid. It’s basically just paid DDL

I’m guessing he’s referring to r/opensignups but there’s probably a Lemmy community for it too

Anyway, these communities post updates when private trackers open up their registrations. These don’t happen regularly so it’s good to know when they open so you can register and access their content

You also have to keep in mind that openly federating forces instance admins to, on some level, moderate the content from other instances too. Lemmy.world was forced to block some instances because it was proving too hard to moderate the content from them. You should also consider this when choosing an instance.

Under Article 8 for Deezer’s T&C’s - https://www.deezer.com/legal/cgu

“Any use for a non-private purpose will expose the Subscriber to civil and/or criminal proceedings. Any other use of the Recordings is strictly forbidden and more particularly any download or attempt to download, any transfer or attempt to transfer permanently or temporarily on the hard drive of a computer or any other device (notably music players), any burn or attempt to burn a CD or any other support are expressly forbidden.”

You’re talking about ethical and unethical piracy. As far as the company whose product you’re subscribing to is concerned, you are breaking the terms and conditions that you agreed to. To me, that sounds pretty unethical, but to you, it only makes sense that you should be able to freely download and store the content that you paid for.

You can have your opinion and I can have mine. It just baffles me that you’re talking about lost opportunity costs and “hurting corporations” on a community dedicated to Piracy

Fair enough, but you are also commenting this on a community for piracy so…

It’s usually not a hacked account. Most of them are free trials from binned credit cards. There are groups out there that will share bins that work for certain services like Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz. Once you get the free trial, you use it for a month and then you start the next one
