Are you sure?
I don’t see any mention of it now.

I read your post and understood it.
Why would you reply without trying to understand what I wrote?

Piracy/copying isn’t theft.
Not all countries see copying as theft.
And neither does the platform we’re currently using (Lemmy).

Piracy isn’t theft though.
That’s exactly what corporations want people to think about piracy.

In addition to what you wrote, piracy is also a form of dissent against copyright laws.

I gave an example, I don’t necessarily think that’s the case here. Just not a fan of portraying piracy as a general “bad thing” that is only reserved for corporations.

I’m not from the USA, and I do support my local library :)
But there’s barely any music there and even then it’s mostly local.

RED and OPS has things that are currently impossible to find anywhere else.

Plenty of indie content from Bandcamp on RED and OPS.
For some people piracy is also about archival and preservation.

Looks like they have an even easier to use web app.
Although it’s limited to single files under 200 MB.

It’s a neat idea, but I feel that something like Magic Wormhole would be simpler and better for this.

I guess it’s convenient if everyone in the group is already using a torrent client.

Hasn’t Sci-Hub been frozen since 2021?

Can’t help much since I haven’t tried running a Matrix server in a while now, but are you using Conduit or Conduwuit?
Conduwuit is in much more active development and has more features implemented and bugs fixed.
You could also try opening an issue on Github / ask them on Matrix.

Dendrite doesn’t support sliding sync afaik https://github.com/element-hq/dendrite/issues/3236

Other than Synapse, I know Conduwuit has sliding sync support.

Just chiming in about Tailscale.
The initial connection uses their server just to reach / connect to the other peer. After that, the peers are connected directly and all communication is direct.
