this is what the authors of this fic look like in real life
To put some scale to that word count (2,979,897âtwo million, nine hundred and seventy-nine thousand, eight hundred and ninety-seven);
War & Peace has 587,287 words;
The King James Bible has 783,137 words, and;
A novel averages out at in and around 75,000-100,000 words.
So 2,979,897 is a LOT.
wait so if my math is correct thats approximately seven thousand five hundred and fourty four words a DAY
okay theres fourteen of them so thats about five hundred and thirty nine per person per day which is doable but STILL
Just so you know, itâs not that simple. Eight of those people have been gone since the 100th chapter or so. Our current group is the first six people on the list of contributors. đ
god i really wish i knew what you were talking about because this sounds incredible.Â
hey so wrong blog but I found it
the comments on any one of this personâs videos are incredible by the way. would highly recommend
oh its. SO much longer than that.

There are a lot of really dog shit things in the world of tech that can be solved with a bit of time, some stubborn googling and maybe some special hardware and piracy is only the tip of the iceberg.Â
Printers are notorious for claiming theyâre out of ink when they havenât come close to the suggested number of prints, and their cartridges literally still have ink in them. So after a bit of googling I found out how to âresetâ a cartridges automatic stopping system (its literally 1 physical wheel on the cartridge that you gotta turn back). The only downside is that I donât get a digital ink monitor, but since it told me it was empty when still half full, I donât mind.Â
Like, you can just jiggle with some shit and solve one of the biggest money making scams in the post-industrial world and I donât think people realise its that easy.Â
Or, like, repairing your own technology. A few months ago, I swapped out my sisterâs laptop screen. Did it myself, I removed maybe 4 screws, no vital parts were exposed and it cost me $40. I even got a choice of matte or glossy.Â
My point is, any walls that capitalist technology presents you with will be a false one. And one already broken by a dedicated community of interesting people working hard for free to break down that wall.
kids these days will be all âbe gay do crimeâ and dont even know how to watch a cartoon without paying for it smh
IN FAIRNESS
piracy was definitely leagues easier a decade or so ago when thepiratebay was functional, megaupload was still running, and YouTube and Google made only the most cursory attempts to block copyright content. like letâs not pretend that the internet hasnât got a lot more corporatised in the past decade or so. piracy is still possible and you can and should do it but itâs a LOT harder to do safely and reliably than it was.
^thank u
Sorry, this is all wrong.
1) ThePirateBay is still functional. (Itâs not the same pirate bay that it was back in the day, but letâs not get into Theseusâ ship territory. Itâs still here and it still works, thatâs all that matters.) There are plenty of torrent sites around, more than there were 10 years ago â although overall traffic has plummeted. Now as then, itâs a whack-a-mole game.
2) Why was it âleagues easierâ a decade ago? Some countries, not all (not north America, for example), now mandate ISP blocking of torrent sites, but this new complication can be bypassed with one (1) step: a google duckduckgo search for proxies. No government agency or ISP can possibly keep up with proxies, itâs yet another whack-a-mole game. So yes, it was technically easier before, but I donât see âleaguesâ anywhere.
3) It was safer before? Are you shitting me? Have you lot forgotten that the legal departments of MPAA and RIAA sued torrent sharers (not even uploaders) and asked for millions of dollars for damages? AND GOT THEM? (By which I mean they didnât actually get millions since the people they sued didnât have any, but said people were convicted and ruined and that was the goal in the first place. It was a deeply amoral and cynical scare tactic.) Well they stopped doing that at some point, and focused on hunting P2P and torrent sites. Running a site is certainly less safe today. Using one, though? Depending on where you are, the ISP may be allowed to block you after repeated instances, and thatâs it. Youâre not getting in trouble with the law or into crippling debt. And either way thereâs only a minuscule chance that any of this will come to pass, which becomes zero (0) with a VPN. (Safety of course depends on the country, and in some cases piracy is the least of your concerns. Letâs not get into that.)
4) Ten years ago there was no Sci-Hub, and Library Genesis was in its infancy. If today itâs harder to find PDFs on google, it is orders of magnitude easier and more reliable to find them elsewhere. People just have to unstick their minds from the notion that stuff is either on google or doesnât exist at all. Geez.
5) P2P still exists. IRC (the sharing channels in particular, #bookz and the like) still exists. Torrenting functions like it always did. All these methods are exactly as easy to use as before, i.e. not necessarily a piece of cake, thereâs a learning curve. But itâs the same learning curve it was 10 years ago.
6) So what have we lost? Only YouTube (meh, the film/tv quality was appalling anyway, and music is still there) and direct downloads (at least the permanent ones: there are plenty of them still around, but files expire and you need to keep track of what goes up when. So this goes beyond knowhow, itâs about internet communities. Letâs not get into that either, itâs a huge subject.) Itâs a loss, sure, but I wouldnât call it a terrible blow.
7) And in exchange for that loss, we got streaming sites. This is piracy, too, and itâs much much easier than torrents, and tons of people do it. Any âpiracy has declinedâ narrative either implies that weâre excluding streaming from the discussion for some reason, or is flat out wrong. Ten years ago, grandpa couldnât possibly torrent a film, and itâs debatable if he even knew how to open the file you helpfully sent him. Now, as long as someone has set up kodi or similar, grandpa can watch it on his tv and it just feels like cable.
8) On why torrents in particular have declined in recent years, see here. Itâs a big subject and I didnât cover all of it, but the main reason is that people had access to easier methods to get what they wanted (some legal and affordable, some illegal and free), so they didnât need to learn how to torrent. Ergo, they never did. Thereâs more of course, and thereâs definitely a cultural shift too, but thatâs a very long story so letâs not get into it. The linked post also includes some thoughts on why torrents arenât dead and doomed just yet, and ooh, I forgot a very important one: you canât stream photoshop.
To summarise, internet piracy is NOT more difficult, unreliable, and unsafe today than it was 10 or 20 years ago. For reasons why people (young or otherwise) seem less versed in it, please look elsewhere. I have thoughts on that too, but this is already a very long post, so Iâll just leave you with the best kind of thought. Iâll leave you with a doubt:
ARE people less versed in piracy? Are they really? Or is it simply that 20 years ago, internet users were computer geeks by definition, whereas now everyoneâs online? Perhaps the percentage of skilled pirates in the general population remains more or less the same, and the only thing thatâs dropped is the percentage of skilled pirates to total internet users. I canât be sure without statistical evidence, but itâs a possibility.
You can literally google âwatch _____ free onlineâ and find most movies but the third result just download Adblock or popup blocker and youâre golden it truly couldnât be easier
