I’ve never heard of anyone getting arrested for removing DRM. DRM removal tools are actively sold online with no crackdown. However people keep getting busted here and there for piracy, and piracy sites keep getting shut down.

I think at the end of the day if the copyright holders are getting paid they don’t really care, and the police cares about piracy way less than they do.

I don’t think she reads any responses or anything

What’s the scam?

Their charges will probably get dropped, if they get charged at all.

These attacks have been happening for weeks if not months bit this is the first time folks are starting to get arrested for them.

I think they’d be better off just airing reruns of Suits on NBC, or at least using it as a lead-in for Suits LA

I also have Lotide accounts but I don’t use them very much. I also have an emergency alt on Nostr which federates via Mostr but IDK if y’all are counting that as being part of the Fediverse.

Also Kbin was superceded by Mbin

Have y’all heard the dubs? What do y’all think?

AI has the potential to give us some really good dubs IMHO.

In the black community we have a saying, “it be your own people”. It refers to stuff like this.

Hey some people like and even pay for that smell…

Ohhhh that’s right cuz she uses #Peertube and #P2P chatrooms. Makes sense, although I think Fediverse Chick is, at least, working alone if not a scammer.

What’s up with the Fediverse Chick thing? Seems like a scam with no catch. Pretty weird.

Even AI costs money.

A Different World is known by many as “black Friends” or “Friends before Friends”, so maybe Netflix wanted a whiff of the hype that Warner Bros. got when they upscaled Friends to 4K

Oh. Yeah I looked it up and there’s actually a fan 4K restoration of Song Of The South on Archive.org.

Well for what it’s worth Gone With The Wind is one of my favorite classic movies so maybe I’m in that same boat. Just got the Blu-Ray before the Mexico tariffs hit.

That sounds pretty cool actually

We should have contracts that mandate minimum number of seasons for all of this.

Yeah if I ever ran a streaming service that made original content I’d put in a stipulation that if a cancellation order is made, the producers still get to make a proper end to the series in the form of a final season or a special or movie. How Netflix especially treats their original projects feels like if Barnes & Noble sold books in halves and flipped a coin in a back room to determine whether or not to sell the second half in 18 months.

They’re doing the remaster? I had no idea.

I don’t like calling people “garbage bins” but yep!

The most believable things happen to her /s

Oh sorry when I said “refunded” I meant for funding for the Immune Deficiency Foundation to start back up, not for money to be returned or anything like that.

That’s horrible, I didn’t know Trump was cutting off aid to that.

Oh my I didn’t even know she had a condition TBH (I don’t follow her closely). Which nonprofits is she relying on? Has CDawgVA been calling for them to be refunded?
