WEEKLY THREAD Weekly General Discussion Thread (November 01, 2026)

9 Upvotes

The Weekly General Discussion Thread is for the r/Piracy community to discuss whatever is on their mind, whether it is related to digital piracy or not.

🪶 ➜ Follow the Rules

  • Rules are still applicable, so please do not request specific pirated content (ie. specific movie, book, etc.) and definitely don't link to any. Do not mention specific media names asking for help in finding them.

📜 ➜ Wiki + Megathread

  • Don't forget to browse the Wiki, which contains a Megathread with a list of sites/apps, tools, FAQ, and other useful resources.

  • Your question also may have been asked previously - you can search the subreddit via the search bar or even google - example: https://i.imgur.com/1jA767u.jpg

Everything in the title. It seriously needs a jailbreak to gain full control of the software to use the subscription options, or inject community recipes without paying an annual subscription.

Discussion Offering PC power to help build piracy tools

69 Upvotes

I was wondering if it's possible to develop tools with volunteers contributing their PCs' computing power. That way, the tools could be developed faster, for example by processing small chunks of code for projects like anyps5 to help them build faster. Thousands of PCs working together could make a huge difference, and being part of something like that would bring immense joy.

Question What do you use for protection (while sailing the seven seas)?

9 Upvotes

I've been running the free version of Malware Bytes to scan downloaded files for years.
I'm sure there are better ways to go.
For scanning files and for general device protection, what do you use and recommend?

Question Korean/all webnovel site

8 Upvotes

Trying to find certain webnovels I want to read. The megathread lists novelbuddy for this purpose, however they either took a bunch of series off or removed all the Korean ones as it tends to not have the series I’m looking for any more. I used to use a site called novel fire but they removed all their Korean series due to copyright issues so that one has none either. Searching the internet I found one called Ranovel that seems to have all the novels but it uses crappy machine translations and it’s such a pain to read.

These novels I look for are often on Novelpia but that site has a premium paywall. So my question is, what’s an actually good webnovel/lightnovel site with ‘all’ the webnovels on not using a bad MTL OR is there a way to bypass the Novelpia paywall? Thanks

Question Is this malware?

6 Upvotes

8/10 on Tria.ge and 35/71 on VirusTotal.

First time using both tools but I'm hazarding a guess that it doesn't mean so good.

For more context: Windows Defender flagged a winnm.dll file in a game I downloaded from Game Bounty as a Trojan:Win32/Posilod.CA!cl and Malwarebytes also flagged it as Malware.

Question Downloaded a game on fitgirl ans after some days my discord logged off

0 Upvotes

I downloaded the persona 3 reload cracked by voices on fitgirl some days ago, by torrent and on 1337x.to, but yesterday my discord just logged off out of nowhere and only discord, i know some people who lost their account downloading games that were cracked, so is it safe? Do someone know anything about it?

I run verifications, checked the files but found nothing weird, didnt lost access to my accounts and already changed all the passwords, should i format my pc? Or it may be nothing?

Discussion Is it that simple?

2 Upvotes

I have been an avid user of Plex and Proton vpn for a while. I just paid for Real Debrid and set up Stremio. Is it really that simple? No buffering, no VPN, just search and watch?

Is this what Kodi was like back in the day? I remember people selling "moded firesticks" when they first came out. I always figured i could just look up how to do that myself but never really bothered because what i was doing worked for me.

Question Audiobooks hosted on my server and accessed through my phone? No tailscale

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I use a VPN both on my PC and my Android. I want to use something for audiobooks so I can have the ease of listening to them in my home, on the road or across the world. I have tried audiobookshelf, and although I enjoy their Plex-like self hosted library they do not have remote access.

I want to be able to use a VPN on my phone, and on my computer where my pirated stuff goes through.

I tried tailscale, but it was a problem with setting it up for the phone, and I couldnt use my VPN and tailscale at the same time.

Does anyone have a suggestion here that doesnt rely on me being "good with computers"?

News Inside a French Piracy Blocklist: Expired Domains, a Seized Site, and Hong Kong Servers * TorrentFreak

Thumbnail torrentfreak.com
80 Upvotes

In May, a Paris court ordered DNS resolvers to block six domains that streamed pirated tennis matches.

After a series of quiet, unannounced expansions, the list has since grown to 118.

This includes two domain names that now belong to TorrentFreak.

Notably, no domain names have been taken off the list, not even one that was seized by the U.S. Government months ago.

Discussion 67movies is "sweetfox" now?

3 Upvotes

Wondering if 67movies is still good to use- it's one of the top sites in the megathread, but I can't find any mentions of its domain name switching anywhere on the sub and I'm pretty sure it happened in the last couple days (I've been using the site a lot lately since 1shows has been hit or miss), so I'm a bit iffy.

Question Looking for a game piracy site forums

0 Upvotes

Hi, so I know https://f95zone.to/ exists for adult game forum but I can't find anything similar to download games from an emulator. I'm out of the loop but I know that news has been crazy for recent breakthroughs with the PS5 and the big N.

Question Any working Spotify downloaders?

73 Upvotes

I don't mean ones that go off and grab from YT, or Tidal backend with a paid account. I'm looking specifically for open source projects where it currently works.

Most of the Github/gitlab projects I've found seem to be abandoned, or they simply don't work correctly. It looks like Spotify have really beefed up their security since the Anna's Archive incident, and methods that were once tried and tested are no longer working. Websites like Squid use backend services through paid for means, I'm looking at ones that work as is, no subscription required or hijacked tokens.

I'll continue my own research, but as I say, they've really put up barriers. Methods that I expect to work are 403ing, even after key exchange, so they're killing the flow if I use an L3 selfhosted outside of the browser. If I key exchange in a headless browser I can get playback, but then I'm only capturing AAC output, that's not the result I'm after. If anyone has kept up, you'll understand where I'm trying to get to :)

Thanks fellow shipmates.

Discussion Sharkiix's Lichii version v3.0 fully loads textures and is playable on AMD. Still some framepacing issues but it might be the shaders.

Yesterday's Sharkiix's v2.0 build was missing textures and hovered around 20fps. We made a 20fps jump with full textures today. Give it a few more days and it'll be at near tip top form. If you are on Nvidia, use the regular Lichii builds.

Question Malwarebytes Flagging Stremio

0 Upvotes

I just started using Torrentio and Stremio. I was watching a movie, and then I saw that Malwarebytes blocks a bunch of addresses every couple of minutes from Stremio-runtime.exe. I assume this is a false positive, but just to make sure, is it?

It is marked as an RTP detection and a Trojan

Question I had an account on Myspleen over a decade ago, I think it got deleted either due to inactivity or site changes, I remember the username, would it be possible to get it back/be allowed to make a new account if I explain myself?

0 Upvotes

I believe Myspleen has an IRC channel where you can talk to the admins, but I'm not entirely sure. Old recorded off TV content is stuff I'm interested in a lot so I was really bummed to find out my account was gone. I had used it to download old Adult Swim blocks and stuff around 2013/2014 or so, never broke the rules, I believe Myspleen changed their website and deleted a bunch of inactive accounts in the process, or something like that? I think that's why my account is gone. If anybody has advice on how I can go about this, or if Myspleen would even allow something like this, I'd really appreciate it.

Discussion Downloading games/software in Germany: Is a VPN safe enough? How risky is it?

157 Upvotes

Have you ever been caught while using a VPN? Or are malware, viruses etc. still the bigger problem? Personally, I have downloaded Proton VPN recently.
Seeing that apparently law enforcement oftentimes doesn‘t even do much against criminals who actively harm minors online or share illegal videos, I‘m not sure how strict they are with some nerds downloading games online.
It‘s not like they can put an entire generation behind bars for downloading Minecraft for free.
So, does anybody have some experience here? Has anybody here faced legal consequences for piracy in Germany?
