Ahoy my fellow pirates. Is there any site like Kemono for DeviantArt Premium Galleries? I found this one creator on the platform but all his good stuff is behind a 10$ (!) paywall for every "Gallery" of his. Bad is that they aren't only images but videos that I need, so there is that. Does anyone here know of some site of this kind?

P.S. The author also doesn't have a patreon or anything like that. He only posts to DA.

Edit: He also locks 95% of his stuff behind a 20$ (!) subscription on top of these galleries. You can't even access the old premium galleries if you buy the sub.

Plenty of indie content from Bandcamp on RED and OPS.
For some people piracy is also about archival and preservation.

yea, preserving deviantart is not a focus like anywhere as far as I know, and hopefully the artist themselves do, but it's vague. It does match with how historically art has usually been a big job to try and preserve once the artist is dead.

For preserving music (since you mention bandcamp) I recommend supporting your local library; an here's a list of some US music libraries. https://www.american-music.org/page/Libraries

Most nations do have some type of music archive as well, and it's not like software which faces legal issues for historical preservation.

I gave an example, I don't necessarily think that's the case here. Just not a fan of portraying piracy as a general "bad thing" that is only reserved for corporations.

I'm not from the USA, and I do support my local library :)
But there's barely any music there and even then it's mostly local.

RED and OPS has things that are currently impossible to find anywhere else.
