Posted my comment. It basically says that the First Amendment is violated by thse patent rules (because people have a right to challenge invalid or overreaching patents).

Created an "illegal number" out of it. It's 34,938 digits. Just copy this hex representation of it, and paste into a hex editor (i.e. HxD): www dot factordb dot com /index dot php? showid= 1100000004599284049&base=16 (you'll have to fix the url; I didn't want Disney getting on FactorDB for it). After that, just save as "Ant-Man 3 (Quantumania) Script.txt.gz" and extract wherever you want. Make sure to distribute this number wherever you can (i.e. on pirate sites, your blog, Pastebin, the Dark Web, etc.), so people can view this script.

Thanks! I corrected the post title.

This: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

It's where someone tries to take down one (or more) file(s), and news of that goes public, resulting in more attention to the file(s) in question. As such, we need to redistribute the script, just like what happened with the AACS key (09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0), which can now be found on thousands of webpages. If enough people see something of this sort, they might redistribute it faster than the copyright owners can take it down. That's how warez (and digital piracy in general) has survived to this day. It's basically like the story of the Hydra: Cut one head off (take a site down), and multiple heads (mirrors) emerge from the body.

EDIT: Also, how do I copy the text from the archived page, so I can paste it into a txt and redistribute? I tried Ctrl+C, but I get an error saying (in Portugese) something about an incompatible browser, which doesn't make sense when I'm doing it in the newest version of Chrome. I tried other browsers, but got the same error.

Let's do a Streisand Effect with that dialogue leak, in order to show them that we have a right to distribute it under the First Amendment (at least in the U.S.). Maybe make some "Free speech flags" out of it, or make a prime number out of it (like what was done with DeCSS)? That would definitely overcome any DMCA takedown attempts.

EDIT: Here it is: https://web.archive.org/web/20230121045848/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y7adPnjTvgQFVEO6bgnbSDkDGVcfiONrfQJ9gzDMzPw/edit

But I want all the photos, and at the rate Getty charges for the max resolution (which is what I want), I would have to sell my house first, and I still wouldn't have enough money. That's why I want to know how to get them for free, because Getty overcharges by a factor of over 100x. Plus, I checked, and anything (movies, music, photos, etc.) involving Elvis won't go public domain until 2046 at the earliest, 2067 at the latest. That's way too long for most people to wait.

I was hoping that someone would find a way to get the highest res for free. There has to be some way to do it, even if no one around here knows how. I'm hoping to make a torrent out of them (the pictures would be in a zip file, in order to reduce the chances of getting caught without VPN). I just want it to be such that anyone can get all of the Wertheimer photos in max res without having to sell their house first. Getty charges way too much money for full-size photos.

 

There are quite a few that I want, but they charge an arm and a leg for them. Can someone please tell me how to get the highest-resolution version of an image for free? Example image (I would want the 5773 x 8660 version): https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/american-musician-elvis-presley-laughs-as-he-holds-a-comic-news-photo/533930319

 

Just as the title says. I prefer lossless PNG over lossy JPEG, in order to avoid compression artifacts. Anyone know where to get the full collection for free? I searched the Internet to see if someone else had uploaded them, but only found links to the Getty Images collection.

I haven't been able to access it for days. Anyone know when it'll be back up, or what's causing the issue?

Update 02/27/23: Still down with the same message (connection timeout).

 

Reposted from r/piracy, in case the subreddit gets taken down:

This could be useful for those who want to share content - legal or illegal - but don't want links to be taken down. NOTE: I don't run any of these websites, nor do I develop any of the tools mentioned. I just found them through web searches. This is based on what Phil Carmody did with DeCSS (i.e. finding a 1401-digit prime based on said software).

To encode:

  1. Convert the link (or file) from ASCII to HEX by pasting (or loading) it into a HEX editor's "Decoded text" field (I use HxD for this step).
  2. Copy the HEX values to clipboard.
  3. Go to this page, paste the number into the "Enter a big number" field, and select "Hexadecimal" and "Decimal" from the 2 drop-down boxes directly beneath it. Hit convert.
  4. Copy the resulting number to the clipboard.
  5. Go to FactorDB, paste the resulting number into the text field, and hit Enter.
  6. Where it says "status (?) digits number", right-click on the link under "number" and click "Copy link location" (or equivalent function).
  7. Paste the link into a text document, and copy the ID (the number at the end of the link, usually 19 digits and starting with 1100000...).
  8. Paste the ID wherever you want, except r/piracy.

To decode:

  1. Paste the resulting ID after "http:// www dot factordb dot com/index dot php?id=", or multiply the prime factors given.
  2. Go to the number converter link (given in Step 3 of the encoding process above), and repeat Step 3, but instead of converting from HEX to DEC, we're doing it the other way around.
  3. Copy the resulting HEX code and paste into the HEX editor you're using. 4a. If the result is a link, copy the link and paste into your browser's address bar (best to examine the link first, in case of malware/CP).
    4b. If the result is a file (i.e. it looks like gibberish in the "Decoded text" field), save it with a name reflecting the source page's title (i.e. if it's a keygen/crack, save it as [product name]_Keygen.exe). Check it with VirusTotal if you don't trust the source website. Delete if malware or CP.

Here's an example ID, produced from "https://www.example.com/": 1100000004141947535

Make sure you put the IDs of your encoded links into a Pastebin paste or similar uploaded document with encode/decode instructions for backup/distribution purposes.

Another possibility, if the number is relatively easy to factor (usually less than 140 digits), is to copy the prime factors (i.e. "17 4567 9043 260527 118318993678213 118344575811172420048687170089") instead of the ID. You can rearrange the factors (i.e. "17 118344575811172420048687170089 9043 118318993678213 4567 260527") if you want, to reduce the chance of copyright troll detection.

I'm sure this will reduce the number of links taken down by a considerable amount. They'll likely be looking for actual links (or Base64-encoded strings), not prime factors (or 19-digit integers starting with 110000...). I think the prime factors method is more secure, as it doesn't always have the same length, unlike the DB ID method. There are plently of software tools out there for factoring numbers, of which the command-line tools YAFU and GGNFS are the easiest to set up (there are precompiled binaries available for both). If the number is too large, factoring it might not be feasible with current hardware, in which case the DB ID method is better.

I'm surprised that the Reddit admins haven't realized that digital piracy isn't stealing/theft, because no one is being deprived of anything. The files are being copied, not moved, and the original is still in the hands of the publisher. AFAIK, the only form of digital theft would be to delete/move files from a remote server/PC, hacked or not.

 

I've been looking pretty much everywhere for a free, accurate, rigged Elvis Presley model, but I haven't been able to find one. Can someone please upload this one somewhere (i.e. as a torrent), so that others can download it for free? I especially need it for a personal game mod I'm making (for Midtown Madness 2), as I want to put a statue of him (with a custom pose) somewhere in the city I'm making.

UPDATE: Also posted this request in SuprBay.
