There's this software that's $50 for a perpetual license. Alright. I can respect that. They don't want a subscription in a day and age where everyone and their grandma wants to charge a subscription. But the fine print says, that if you upgrade any parts of your PC, you need to reach out to them for a new activation code.

I don't upgrade my PC often, but I can see how that can be annoying. And also, what if their website goes down or they go out of business? What then? I'm left holding my dick?

So I just found a pirated version from a site on the megathread and it's working perfectly. I can upgrade my PC as often as I want and I don't have to "raise my hand and get their permission" to be able to use this software, which I already paid for, on my PC.

I wish these software companies would just let us own the apps we buy.

I'm binging American Dad and only have seasons 1-19 pirated. There are 2 more seasons and they don't have much seeders, the numbering for the seasons is messed up and I'd have to download 40+ episodes individually. Should I feel like a bitch for wanting to just buy the last 2 seasons rather than pirate?

We all love ownership, that's the reason half of us are even here. I know this sub is about piracy, but this bill could help you with the games you didn't pirate, or did pirate but bought after so you could get updates. Even if you're not in the EU, this bill could force the gaming industry to fundamentally change. So please, for the sake of ownership and continuous playability. Please either sign or if not in the EU share it!

I just noticed today that Youtube is periodically desynching the audio and video playback. I've never had this problem before but the video will play fine for a few seconds and then there's a frame jump BACKWARDS so the audio no longer synchs with the video. It will play this way for a bit and then Firefox resynchs the two, then Youtube jumps it back again.

I will NOT stop using adblockers. I don't care how bad they make the experience, the only result will be that I stop using Youtube. Fuck Youtube.

A California federal judge said Wednesday that it was fair for Meta Platforms to take copyrighted material to train its large language models called Llama, rejecting the arguments from a group of bestselling authors who alleged the tech giant infringed their works by using them without permission and sometimes obtaining them through pirating sites.
