One cool thing about piracy battles is ISPs' interests are aligned with the pirates. It's the record labels who are against it.

Hahahaha

Imagine believing a website is down because a paper says so.

Takes five seconds to find.

 

The Guardian and other liars are reporting Fmovies is "shut down"

verified up and working today

 

And I'd like to be able to do it privately too, that'd be cool.

Things I can do –

  • write HTML and CSS
  • register a domain and set up hosting
  • use Filezilla

Things I don't know how to do –

  • Create databases, I always had someone around to do that for me
  • Self-host
  • Set up an onion site 🧅
  • Set up an eepsite
  • Register a .bit domain

I am more of a content gal than a tech gal, but think of all the cool stuff I could create if I could spin up anonymous websites in a few hours.

 

Here's a TG4 link for example: https://www.tg4.ie/ga/player/catagoir/siamsaiocht/seinn/?pid=6339798682112

I found this guide – https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/404994-Decryption-and-the-Temple-of-Doom – that has an 'Edit January 2023' example for how to rip from TG4 Seinntóir/Player.

But I get different results. When I do this step...

2. MPD - describes the media and how to get it. Developer Tools (F12 in your browser) select Network tab and enter 'mpd' in the filter box. Then start the video. Copy the url. It will look similar to this, BUT DO NOT USE THIS ONE, get a fresh copy. as it carries a token, which needs to be fresh each use.

...it seems to be the mpd not of the television program, but of the 5-second video of the TG4 logo.

I'm not sure is there still a such a singular [video file URL]. In the "Developer Tools (F12 in your browser) select Network tab" I see lots and lots of 'segments' with .m4f extension coming from Brightcove. My mental model is that when the tutorial was written there was one file, now TG4 have gotten more cautious and split it up into tiny one-second segments. Is this hypothesis right? Is there a way to do Step 2 in https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/404994-Decryption-and-the-Temple-of-Doom ?

It's discrediting valid concerns against card-payments. It's invalidating how great cash is.

It's when the worst person you know makes a good point.

And things now are so Culture-Wars-y, nobody makes solid analyses any more, that when the far-right say cards are bad, everybody jumps to thinking cards are good.
