I couldn't find the Flintstones movie from 1994 anywhere but googling it I found it here https://archive.org/details/the-flintstones_202304 and you can either download it via torrent or directly. On top of it it says that the movie is CC0 which means Public Domain. But that can't really be, it's only 29 years old.

That must be pirated, or not?

Old movies and audiobooks is exactly the reason why I have archive.org in Prowlarr

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

Oh shit, didn't know you could do that

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Thank you for this tip!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I usually only use private trackers but am willing to give this a go as a low priority alternative. Thank you for your post.

Indexer manager for the *arr stack of software. Alternate to Jackett.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't know any of those applications, but I'll do my homework.

Radarr - Manages Movies

Sonarr - Manages TV Series

Lidarr - Manages Music

Prowlarr - Manages torrent and usenet indexers for the above three

Each of these are used to automate media collection by searching indexers for torrents and nzbs matching media you've added to your library, pass them to your download client(s), and sort the resulting downloads into your media folders renaming them accordingly.

They can monitor rss feeds and perform regular searches to find newly released/added media, upgrade existing files to better quality ones, or simply monitor for things that hadn't been found previously. They can also monitor lists from imdb to automatically add media to your library.

Unbelievable! Thanks for the info!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

know any good guides for the brand new baby pirates?

Can't seem to get qbit and any of the ARRs to sail together

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Indexer for Radarr/Sonarr etc look it Up, they're great

The law is tricky. From Wikipedia "For works that received their copyright before 1978, a renewal had to be filed in the work's 28th year with the Copyright Office for its term of protection to be extended. The need for renewal was eliminated by the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, but works that had already entered the public domain by non-renewal did not regain copyright protection."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I hope that's the case here. The sad thing is that not having the rights to something doesn't stops you from filling a claim, even scammers fill DMCA claims over original content, the movie is already down from archive.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 10 months ago

I love ninety-ies movies

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah wtf. How'd the DMCA bots find these posts :(

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (2 children)

If you think DMCA bots aren't trawling around in open piracy forums then I've got some swampland to sell you in Florida.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Some people from Lemmy probably just flagged it.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I assume you're joking because that's not really how Lemmy works, for anyone who may not know. My instance is my own, for example. I'm replying to you via Lemmy running on a server I own.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yes, I know. I was just referring to anyone from any federated instance reading it. I used the word Lemmy because it's easier.

It's basically the same thing in the end anyways. How the backend works is not really relevant.

Thank you for sharing, person from Lemmy

I've got some swampland to sell you in Florida.

But don't worry, it comes with a bridge!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

cool, i've always wanted floridian swamp under a brige!

It's pretty easy to come across ©️🏴‍☠️, even roms and full games in some cases

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

"In some cases"

Entire romsets for basically every console.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Yes and no. My daughter was trying to find Wii games with very little luck. Fortunately I have a bunch tucked away.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Vimm.net has a huge archive of ROMs and I can see Wii counted among them.

[–] can 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Warms my heart to see that site still relevant after probably twenty years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I didn't want to say much to draw attention to it, but it does have the best Wii game ever (even though it doesn't list it in the top 10, which is criminal).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

the best Wii game ever

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is from /r/roms

https://r-roms.github.io/megathread/nintendo/

Has links to Nintendo games there and also shows archive.org source for them too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Pretty cool. I was looking up nes games recently, turns out there are still people making games for the platform, open source and on GitHub!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

There's a wiki of the high seas that may help find a certain archive.

Where the db is, I have zer0 clue.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are you still having a hard time locating a specific one? Let us know!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

No it's all very, very good :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I get my mame ROMS (and most others too) from them. I’ve also found movies and some other content. Their torrents max my line (1 Gbps).

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Speaking of movies from the 90s, we just watched The Crow on Halloween (Devil's) night, and that movie is definitely a John Wick prequel.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

RIP Brandon Lee. So sad

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I remember seeing that movie when I was a kid, I also remember liking it a lot but can vaguely remember anything. Does it still hold up ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was really worried that it wouldn't hold up, but it does! It holds up well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Love your username. I'm Kiazi's children, their faces wet, every time I watch that ep.

Temba, his arms wide!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Prequel in spirit or are the events tied in?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I just mean that the style of the movie is heavily copied by John Wick.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I think I remember an interview where Keanu openly states that The Crow, and a few other classics were the inspiration for JW. Mission Impossible, and The Boondock Saints would also be candidates.

Re. Your Username: Darmock, his gas tank empty.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

That's heckin cool. I'll see if I can find that interview.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Any random internet users can create an account and upload stuff to the internet archive. Just be careful when you download softwares there.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Damn its gone now.. I really think we need to backup IA. Contents frequently disappear because of copyrights..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

1994 flintstones was amazing
