⚠️ ➜ Uncertainty
Any links that are not included in the entire Megathread have either not been approved by the moderators or the community, or have been deleted at some point. In other words, use extra caution anytime you sail in uncharted waters.
That said, as times change, so do the currents. What is seen as a safe route to great treasures now may soon be a shell of its former self or even be riddled with the black plague. Always exercise caution and if you notice problems with any of the sites in our Megathread, please contact the moderators.
What are piracy websites? Piracy websites host illegal copies of films, music, games, software, or other digital goods. They might offer streams (in much the same way services such as Netflix legally stream video), downloads, or links to other websites on which illegal copies can be found.
Definition. The use and or distribution of copyrighted computer software in violation of the copyright laws or applicable license restrictions. Common forms include end user piracy, counterfeiting, and hard disk loading.
And it is most certainly an illegal act. Digital piracy is a violation of federal copyright laws. It can result in steep fines and imprisonment. Think of digital piracy as a form of digital theft.
A civil lawsuit could hold you responsible for thousands of dollars in damages. Criminal charges may leave you with a felony record, accompanied by up to five years of jail time and fines up to $250,000.
By its very nature, piracy is an international crime. International treaties and a host of other multinational agreements related to the high seas aim to govern piracy. These collective agreements are known as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
Softlifting is the act of installing or sharing a legally obtained copy of software in a way that goes against its license agreement. Softlifting is the most prevalent form of software piracy and is considered a cybercrime in some jurisdictions.
Software piracy is illegal and considered a crime because whenever software is used, copied, or sold illegally, these copyright holders are robbed of their payment and recognition. The end-user license agreement (EULA) is the most common license for software protection.
In the US, which counts almost 130 subscription piracy sites, the MPA estimates that the top three combined have about 2 million users paying $5 to $10 per month for films, TV shows and live sports.
What are pirated journal sites? Sci-Hub and Lib-Gen (Library Genesis) are examples of piracy or shadow library websites that illegally circumvent institutional authentication barriers to provide access to journals and books. Sci-Hub is the most well known of these sites.
