An associated problem is the length of copyright terms. 28 days later came out in 2002, under the original copyright terms of the constitution it should be well in the public domain by now. Then it wouldn’t matter if the original production company chain didn’t want to stream it or sell copies.
Imagine if we just… nationalized all the IP and streamed it out of the Library of Congress
Better to federate the streaming. We dont want to blow all of the library’s funding on caching servers and bandwidth
As someone who likes media preservation this hurts to hear.
I’m about to turn into such a data hoarder
Looks like an 18 TB hard drive is like 200 bucks and 18 TB can hold a lot
Why isn’t everyone doing this
Why isn’t everyone doing this
fear of prosecution, lack of knowledge of how to pirate, liberal brainworms regarding respecting private property.
The fear of prosecution is kinda a real fear though, however fucking absurd it may be. To think that you could get penalized and potentially jailed for something as nebulous as piracy
It’s a realistic fear. I almost caught charges once, when I was younger and more reckless about downloading, but I settled it beforehand.
Then I took a long break from torrenting, did the paid streaming thing, learned more about digital security, and eventually found myself sailing the high seas yet again.
absolutely; i was trying to answer your question because I’ve wondered the same thing and those were the conclusions i came to
I don’t know if my legal knowledge is outdated, but wasn’t one of the outcomes of the whole bajillion-dollar lawsuit days a system where first you get a letter, then a small fine, and then a bigger fine before they really start holding you upside-down by the ankles and grabbing whatever falls out of your pockets?
I dont think you know what literal means
They said liberal, not literal.
Me going around calling everyone a knave because my literary brainworms are going through a Chaucer phase
Most people don’t care to. People want the easy way, and don’t consider options off the beaten path.

What kind of mp3 player would you suggest?

You can pick up an ipod classic for under 50 bucks, then a battery and an sd card adapter if you’re good with your hands to refresh it.
steal everything you can come on do it
28 days later is a weird movie because it was filmed in digital Standard Definition (480p resolution). I can’t think of another movie which was filmed this way. Watching it on BluRay is sort of pointless for that reason. BluRay is 1080p, so the movie would just be stretched because it was only shot in 480p, If you watched 28 Days Later on BluRay, it would look nearly the same as if you watched it on DVD.
Even the screenshot from the tweet looks blurry. That’s actually how the movie looks because it was filmed on a digital camera from 1997.
If it’s shot on film and you go back to the original film stock or negative and make a higher definition version from that, fine by me, it’s an analogue format you’re digitizing and you’re getting the best fidelity possible. If something was shot on digital in the first place, don’t do anything, it was shot that way and is therefore meant to look that way.
why did they do that?
Wikipedia says the director wanted to use a camera that was more maneuverable because the movie is filmed with a lot of movement. Also it says that they filmed in downtown London without a permit, that they just like asked people to not go on the streets that they were filming. Having a portable camera helped with this. The camera that was used was the Canon XL1.
In addition to what dead said, there’s an artistic element. The last scene switches to film after the characters have largely escaped the horror and made contact with organized groups (I remember a fighter jet or something?).
Well, with AI we can now stretch the density of images.
Not enough discourse around piracy bring not only logistically okay, but morally good
I wrote a paper in my econ 2302(?) about piracy being a logistical issue.I’m interested. Please send me a copy of the paper with your full legal name across the top.
(But for real I’d love to hear your argument)
Scarecrow Video probably has it and they do mail rentals now.

That’s interesting af. So I’m guessing they can only do rentals with physical disks though

I’ve long maintained that I’m not stealing from Netflix. I’m their unofficial backup

I can’t see the 28 days poster as anything other than :3
A lion?
I tried torrenting it a few months ago, but all the versions I could find were highly compressed 240p or had no seeds. Same with Donnie Darko. Ironicly, both films I later found out, were easily found on youtube. I’m hoping this one is better quality.
where were you looking? the YTS 1080p blueray rips of both movies have seeds
I loaded the 28 Days Later 1080p torrent from that website 2 hours ago, it’s been stalled with 0 seeds/peers the whole time.
Something’s wrong with your setup then, I started the same torrent to check the seed count and wound up letting it ride. Finished in under 10 minutes
IDK about that, but when I woke up it was done and I was already seeding lol.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
You call me a pirate. I call me an archivist
I pirate everything but I do feel a little bad when I pirate music from regular small bands
Go to one show, or buy one item of merch, and you’ve paid an order of magnitude more than what their streaming revenue would have been for your non-crime.
Or, don’t! Share their music with people who aren’t local! That would fucking crank.
Pirate. Email. Ask where to send donations.
bandcamp?
Yes that’s where I pirate from
