Huh, the site isn’t opening for me at all, DNS_PROBE_ERROR or ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED on my browsers. I wonder if it’s a country-wide block in Brazil? I saw some news yesterday on the police raiding pirate servers
the IP address is 103.224.182.241 if you want to try adding it to your hosts file to circumvent what appears to be a solely DNS-based block. or just change your DNS lookup server I guess.
Wouldn’t they at most have to comply with a DMCA takedown request within a reasonable amount of time? At least that seems to be what major platforms do. Not actually sure what happens for smaller platforms and many lemmy instances are hosted and owned outside the US too.
It’s a catch 22. If everyone uses it, game companies get it shut down, and then it doesn’t exist, and then nobody uses it. The only existing methods of piracy are little known. That you’ve never heard of it is expected.
I mean, do you pirate games? If you’ve never gone to a torrent site in your life it’s not surprising, but FitGirl’s repacks are so numerous that it’s hard not to notice them if you do pirate.
I used to torrent frequently, but rarely software.
Since I graduated and started making adult money I haven’t really at all. When I want to vote with my wallet, I just don’t play it at all (usually these are live service games anyways).
Although I’m going to start torrenting music and video again on principle.

ping 103.224.182.241gives me a “general failure”. At least I can still find stuff via qbittorrent’s builtin searchYaaarggh! Fuck you auto mod, I’m trying to be helpful. >:(
Just FYI: Links to such sites are a liability for the instance operators.

Come sail the seas at dbzero where we dont give a fuck
Ahh man that makes so much more sense than deebeezer zero, sometimes I’m slow
Stands for ‘divide by zero’ as far as I know, if that helps
Same. I had no idea what the title meant at all. Interesting though.

I was so upset when the vault got dmca’d

Lol
Yeah, I know, it doesn’t actually work, because capitalism is a joke. But you get the idea, I think
I am so wary of downloading them though, exe files are scary for fools like me
