Besides the websites like apkmirror/ApkPure, etc, I save APKs of apps I want to keep using an app like APK Extractor - this extractor will name the file with App Name, Package Name, and Version. Really helps.

I have it extract to a folder on my phone that I keep synced to my server just for extracted APKs.

One down side - an extracted apk may not install on a different phone or new OS, it’s a little trickier these days, downloaded APKs are more specific to phone and OS version now. I’d say maybe 1-2% of my extracted APKs don’t work on newer version of Android, and that’s with having APKs as far back as 2010, I have hundreds (my server says 1400, but there’s a little duplication.)

Where was the topic change?

If anything, you’re the one being disingenuous.

“Pointing out what a moron this guy was is not the same thing as agreeing with Nintendo’s shitty legal practices.”

We know what these corporations will do, they’ve been very clear about it.

At a minimum don’t go advertising that you’re copying their roms and selling them. This guy advertised to the world who he is and what he was doing.

Is Nintendo still shitty? Yes. But geez, don’t make it blindingly easy to figure out who you are.

You first! 😁

Not even in the US, which it seems leads the charge on enforcing copyright most of the time.

It’s the “your internet could be disabled” scare tactics.

And it’s not even illegal in the sense most people think of, it’s a copyright violation. Which is a regulatory thing, not a criminal law thing.

Massive data collection and then getting hacked with no legal ramifications.

And being hacked left and right

I despise vandalism, but sometimes I feel an exception can be made

Wonder how much of your personal data they have? 😆

Or how many times they’ve been hacked, or broke the law.

I don’t think this should be sarcasm, the power companies are liable in the same way

Big chats are kinda a scam anyway, they should be forums lol

That’s the quote of the day right there.

Oh, access to everything will happen.

The owners will just charge us for every viewing of every episode.

Yep.

I rip them, then store the discs in a cool, dark, dry place.

Everything I rip is backed up. It’s pretty clear what’s happening.

And in 20 years they’ll start “selling” everything by the episode online.

Because “we” do, as evidenced by the people willing to pay the price(s)

Grayjay seems to be more stable than NewPipe

Exactly.

Piracy was “tolerated”, because it stole money from competitors.

Even if a pirate lied and only turned over some of the booty to the crown, it still took it from their enemies.

Except Disney lawyers actually cited the clause the in the Disney+ subscription.

Yes, there’s more, but they actually cited Disney+.

I really can’t emphasize that enough.

And let’s be clear, corporations have been doing this since well before the US existed, or does no one remember Britain’s history?

But they also cited the clause in the streaming service too. So the reporting stands.

Mine just go in folders: Movies, TV Shows, Education, etc
