  • I get you but it’s just the nature of the beast. Short term losses for long term gains maybe?

    You need users to make pirating work, more users = better. But with more users (eventually) comes attention from Big Business and LE.

    FWIW, I can just load up pretty much any movie from about 100 different websites and stream any movie I can think of, I don’t even need to find seeders or trackers or peers these days unless I want my own archival, higher quality copy.








  • I knew/know a Mason, afaik his involvement consisted of drinking beer and fund raising for charities a few hours per month. He’s not a Shriner specifically but a lot of lodges do stuff like that.

    It’s definitely an old boys network though and a bunch of them are on various chambers of commerce and own local businesses and whatnot. I’m pretty sure he became a member strictly for the business connections. If you’re in a smaller area joining a lodge can be a very solid networking opportunity.
