I had no idea that you could download movies from the 90ies from archive.org

I couldn't find the Flintstones movie from 1994 anywhere but googling it I found it here https://archive.org/details/the-flintstones_202304 and you can either download it via torrent or directly. On top of it it says that the movie is CC0 which means Public Domain. But that can't really be, it's only 29 years old.

That must be pirated, or not?

Old movies and audiobooks is exactly the reason why I have archive.org in Prowlarr

Prowlarr?

Indexer manager for the *arr stack of software. Alternate to Jackett.

I don't know any of those applications, but I'll do my homework.

Radarr - Manages Movies

Sonarr - Manages TV Series

Lidarr - Manages Music

Prowlarr - Manages torrent and usenet indexers for the above three

Each of these are used to automate media collection by searching indexers for torrents and nzbs matching media you've added to your library, pass them to your download client(s), and sort the resulting downloads into your media folders renaming them accordingly.

They can monitor rss feeds and perform regular searches to find newly released/added media, upgrade existing files to better quality ones, or simply monitor for things that hadn't been found previously. They can also monitor lists from imdb to automatically add media to your library.

The seas have never been finer 🏴‍☠️

know any good guides for the brand new baby pirates?

Can't seem to get qbit and any of the ARRs to sail together

I usually only use private trackers but am willing to give this a go as a low priority alternative. Thank you for your post.

The law is tricky. From Wikipedia "For works that received their copyright before 1978, a renewal had to be filed in the work's 28th year with the Copyright Office for its term of protection to be extended. The need for renewal was eliminated by the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, but works that had already entered the public domain by non-renewal did not regain copyright protection."

I hope that's the case here. The sad thing is that not having the rights to something doesn't stops you from filling a claim, even scammers fill DMCA claims over original content, the movie is already down from archive.

…aaand it’s gone

Yeah wtf. How'd the DMCA bots find these posts :(

If you think DMCA bots aren't trawling around in open piracy forums then I've got some swampland to sell you in Florida.

Some people from Lemmy probably just flagged it.

I assume you're joking because that's not really how Lemmy works, for anyone who may not know. My instance is my own, for example. I'm replying to you via Lemmy running on a server I own.

Yes, I know. I was just referring to anyone from any federated instance reading it. I used the word Lemmy because it's easier.

It's basically the same thing in the end anyways. How the backend works is not really relevant.

But don't worry, it comes with a bridge!

cool, i've always wanted floridian swamp under a brige!

It's pretty easy to come across ©️🏴‍☠️, even roms and full games in some cases

Yes and no. My daughter was trying to find Wii games with very little luck. Fortunately I have a bunch tucked away.

Vimm.net has a huge archive of ROMs and I can see Wii counted among them.

Warms my heart to see that site still relevant after probably twenty years.

There's a wiki of the high seas that may help find a certain archive.

Where the db is, I have zer0 clue.

You’re allowed to say the naughty thing out loud here. And since I have no clue what your comment is referring to, that would be helpful in fact. (Googling “db zer0” got me music-related stuff.)

I think he is referring to my home instance - lemmy.dbzer0.com

Oh shit, I didn't see what comm we're in.

Piracy Wiki/megathread. There's an archive in the Roms section that you can find Wii .isos on. Every one I've tried has been clean.

Are you still having a hard time locating a specific one? Let us know!

No it's all very, very good :)

I get my mame ROMS (and most others too) from them. I’ve also found movies and some other content. Their torrents max my line (1 Gbps).

Speaking of movies from the 90s, we just watched The Crow on Halloween (Devil's) night, and that movie is definitely a John Wick prequel.

I remember seeing that movie when I was a kid, I also remember liking it a lot but can vaguely remember anything. Does it still hold up ?

Prequel in spirit or are the events tied in?

I just mean that the style of the movie is heavily copied by John Wick.

I think I remember an interview where Keanu openly states that The Crow, and a few other classics were the inspiration for JW. Mission Impossible, and The Boondock Saints would also be candidates.

Re. Your Username: Darmock, his gas tank empty.

Damn its gone now.. I really think we need to backup IA. Contents frequently disappear because of copyrights..

Any random internet users can create an account and upload stuff to the internet archive. Just be careful when you download softwares there.

Yes, it's quite crazy. I found archive of old comics, the entire series of Outer Limits (1995), all ScummVM games, tons of ROMS, and books, a lot of books.
