  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

It's crazy how little the younger generation knows about torrenting. With my younger brothwr and his friend we couldn't find a movie in any of the streaming services and I told them I would download it in less than 5 minutes, they didn't understand how that was possible but were impressed when I did it. We need to keep the art alive

Hilariously, if the corporations could have curtailed their greed for a few more years - piracy could have sufficiently reduced in popularity and need to the point that it would have largely become a ‘lost art’.

Alas, chasing ever higher returns because “line must go up” is just introducing a new generation to these old tried and true methods.

Not generational, that's niche stuff. The basic issue is exactly the same from 30 years ago.

Probably right, I just felt like there were more people that were at least aware of it
