Literally illegal. Discussing crimes doesn't equal crime, so there's no reason for them to requeust IPs. And at least in the EU you aren't even allowed to disclose information related to your person.

They don't care. It's the film industry equivalent to the Microsoft support scammers. Get a bunch of targets, spam out hundreds of thousands of threatening emails, profit off the small percent of people who fall for it.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I had a Microsoft support scammer once... I let him in to my system too..well not really.

I quickly spin up a quick fresh install of slack ware Linux in a virtual machine that didn't even have x11 never mind wine installed. When it was up I told him a friend uses something called tellynet (aka telnet but I was playing dumb) to help me on the computer.

He telnetted in and could not understand why any of his malware wasn't working...

uses something called tellynet (aka telnet but I was playing dumb)

I wonder if he got the joke, or was a scriptkiddie who just relies on existing tools without understanding them, and thought you meant television or similar.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

They’re basically telemarketing workers with hacking tools provided by an employer. They follow scripts and click the buttons they’ve been trained to use.

I’m surprised they got in with telnet and not their usual RDP. However I’m not sure they would have gotten anywhere on a Linux box with commands that are so different, unless they were a little familiar with at least MacOS (bash or zsh based now a days).

It's not illegal if they ask for it and reddit gives it to them.

If discussing crimes equals crime then police, CEOs, and politicians should all be in jail.

More corporations with zero responsibility and way too much fucking power. We need regulators with teeth and we need to remove the legal hand of business from the pockets of our legislatures. I can't believe someone actually burned down Studio Ghibli HQ before Citizen's United was. Wtf.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 9 months ago (5 children)

The people who are smart enough to understand that corporations need restraint are also smart enough to know that burning a single building down will do nothing but give that company an insurance check. It needs to be the people who are in the c-suite, on the board, the consulting firms, etc. it has to happen overnight and with all of them.

I for one want to be in compliance. Here is my IP, I checked it in Microsoft windows so it is correct. 192.168.0.1

Text me at that IP if I need to pay a fine or if I need to go to my local jail. Thanks guys, I'm sorry I pirated and I will re upload all the movie films that I downloaded to try to make this right.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 9 months ago (7 children)

Holy shit! My IP is 192.168.1.1!

What are the odds!?

[–] [email protected] 55 points 9 months ago

Y'all be trippin. I put a mask on my ip to hide it's true identity. The mask is just 255.255.255.0

No one will ever know the real ip.

127.0.0.1 is where it's at .... Do you even IP bro?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 9 months ago (1 children)

spoilerGet it? It's cause Class A networks are bigger and therefore more "pro" than Class C ones.

I believe that the following IP ranges

  • 103.231.144.0/24
  • 192.31.196.0/24
  • 216.176.216.0/21
  • 199.248.239.0/24
  • 192.198.30.0/24
  • 69.12.98.42

are engaged in highly suspicious activities

furthermore I can definitely say that I found some dirty pirates hiding at the following ip ranges:

  • 175.45.176.0/24
  • 175.45.177.0/24
  • 175.45.178.0/24
  • 175.45.179.0/24

my research clearly shows proof that those people are not just pirates but also engaged in highly illegal activities such as stealing BILLIONS of dollars and hacking who knows how many servers, and that's only the crimes one can talk about online.


if you don't get the jokeno, I didn't share IPs that anyone here would ever have, I guarantee it, if you don't get the joke look up "bogon routes" and then look up which ASN owns the other set.

It looks more legit than people who use 192.168.0.0/16, 8.8.8.8, 127.0.0.1, or any other things like that because most people don't know about those.

Also bonus info:

here's a tip for you, if you're a sysadmin just go ahead and ban those IP ranges on your machines, if you ever get packets from them it's an attack 99.999999% of the time (I guess unless you have customers in north korea? in which case only block the first ones and all other bogon routes)

I've noticed reddit has recently started shadowbanning my posts when I have a vpn active so I'd say at this point it's probably completely unsafe to discuss anything on.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago

Absolutely. That and the recent vpn blocking changes has made using reddit absolutely unbearable.

It's reddit, so I'd be surprised if they don't cave.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Man that place. I know it's cliche to talk about it like talking about your ex on a date, but I posted there for good reason.

I found the solution to a rare bug that was bothering a group of people. I posted the solution, and my account was immediately banned sitewide for violating the terms of service, whatever that means.

I thought to myself: yeah... it was a mistake coming here. Leave it to the bots to have conversations with themselves.

"Why should I care about their privacy policy?" If Reddit doesn't store this info then they can't give it to the film studios.

Then provide better streaming options including price and service. Piracy will always win whether they like it or not.

I'm surprised Netflix is still around at their price rate and the way they keep canceling shows. I jumped on the BF deal for Peacock, because I wasn't gonna pay the full price.

I only have Peacock for WWE, so everything is a bonus. But not everybody is gonna pay for 7 services monthly or yearly. Either put it all under one service or understand some of us are gonna pirate.

Amazon prime is gonna start having ads this month, so people are gonna have to pay more for ad free on top of prime membership or pirate to avoid ads. Before we know, they'll start putting ads in games while they load.

It would be great if piracy instances were hosted on I2P and TOR. Then these chucklefucks would have nothing.

tl;dr: The users' comments say that a certain ISP is pirate-friendly. Studios want to use the comments against the ISP (not the users).

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago (2 children)

"pirate friendly" meaning not snitching on their own paying customers? Wow
