Piracy

Lionel Mapleson was the Metropolitan Operaʼs librarian from the 1890s until he died in 1937. In 1900, he purchased an Edison “Home” Cylinder Phonograph, smuggled the gadget into the prompter’s box, and started recording excerpts from Metropolitan performances. In 1904, Mapleson’s piratical activities came to an end, but by then he had amassed an extraordinary collection that has been called one of the most valuable legacies in the history of recorded sound.

I wanted to ask two things.

First, could we have a different image for the community? I think the logo of the Church of Kopimism would be better, or at least the Jolly Tape. I feel they fit more properly since they are more related to internet piracy and not old plank walking piracy.

Second, Could we link to my Matrix room for piracy? I can make @dessalines@lemmy.ml admin there if you want, I don't want it to grow for some kind of personal benefit, I just want for it to be a place where people can discuss the topic in an environment which is right-wing free since the rest of the Matrix rooms related to internet piracy are unmoderated and generally full of horrible people.

If I want to read https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/19/post-american-world-is-now-full-display/, I have to use archive.vn which allows me to go past the paywall (https://archive.vn/yTP0x). However, archive.vn is still proprietary so I installed ArchiveBox which is free software but does not go past the paywall. Does anyone have any solutions?

Let me know if you find more and I will add them.

Anyone interested in scraping and doing a backup, I'd be more than happy to help.

Despite me telling this person not to do it, they want to share the links they have on meg4 and GD. Message me so we can talk. Their preference is movies, tv series, games and music. No creepy or porn material.

Thanks.

easiest way to watch this documentary is by downloading web torrent https://webtorrent.io and pasting the magnet url into it

Been loving this album.

Another one of my projects.
