Ya lol piracy communities famously never discuss anything that isnt piracy. Like how every music tracker forum has the vanity label category with independent musicians with bandcamp links or like

The concentration of the webtech nerds from r/piracy at @piracy is a sight to behold. Brings a tear to my eye. May a thousand Gazelles bloom from it

this is not how compensation for writers works, generally, and also the whole idea is to break a traditional publishing system that exploits writers in favor of one where people directly pay the authors.

it seems like it just uses the API???? idk readme says they have moved on to another project that I can't find the sources for, the gitlab just has the APKs. but if it's just as simple as using the API I would be freaking stunned there wasn't more widespread abuse of it.

Does anyone have any links for reverse engineering Spotify DRM? I didn't necessarily need it for myself, have plenty of music, and it would be a pretty inefficient means of piracy vs. BitTorrent or like yt-dlp, but I'm curious how it works.

It always seems to me like the analog gap is particularly gaping with audio, and I wonder how far down to the metal it's protected.

that's fair. I think they are approaching it as archivists rather than as gamers - preserving cuktur artifacts regardless if they're good or not

I read it as them saying it's a good thing and sort of tiptoeing around piracy, as academics do
