Definately NOT proxy cannon fodder

So the choice is to get conscripted right now for an ongoing war or to avoid the draft for now and risk being drafted sometime in the future for a war that most likely would never happen? There's no choice for sane person. And Ukrainians are much clever than you tend to think, that's why they are evading draft en masse: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/28/world/europe/ukraine-conscription-mobilization-bill.html

Immoral piracy is the killing of the crew during the hijacking of a ship. There is no moral dilemma in downloading anything.

In other news: Zelenskiy signed a bill on Tuesday to lower the mobilisation age for combat duty from 27 to 25 https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraines-zelenskiy-signs-bill-lowering-mobilisation-age-combat-duty-25-2024-04-02/

So what we have here is nothing else than wholesale purchase of cannon fodder.

The whole point of "ethical" piracy is ridiculous. It's old good corporate anti-piracy propaganda but rechewed with some progressive takes. "You wouldn't download an indie car", literally. If you need some justifications and excuses for piracy, than just don't pirate at all. The fact that i'm downloading some game from torrent because i've broken purchased DVD with it never makes me more ethical in any way than some other leecher on the same torrent who's never going to pay for it.

Only the content that i don't care about.

4pda pretty obviously.

Seizing domains is HUGE blow but never a "Total Destruction". Such ring is not operated by single enthusiast, it's runned by a team of professional pirate siteops who do this for pretty comfortable living and who foresee such risks and have a plan for this type of incident. And i'm sure they have another bunch of domains already registered and fed to google. There's no significant difference between getting domain banned in the country from where 95% of traffic is coming (and this is frequent issue) and loosing this domain at all. Your traffic is gone, your money is gone. So seizing domains without busting servers and siteops is far from winning final battle.

It's here for ages and it's called sopcast. I was using it decade ago for soccer translations before moving to IPTV. After quick googling i see it's still a thing.

It's required to have literally zero knowledge of worldwide piracy and its current state to post or upvote such things.
