Are the wild west days of the internet coming to an end? It's seeming that way.
Torrents sites are getting shut down left and right.
Material's getting harder to find.
ICANN will leave United States ownership later this month.
The deepweb is dying, pages mysteriously dropping off and being compromised by the feds.
It's seeming like there's a whole shift in the attitude towards how people think of it, how we feel on it. It's not some endless place to have fun, because it's all trying to interact with other parts of itself. Whereas semi-anonymous forums were the norm in the earlier part of the decade, it's seeming as though everyone's hellbent on using their real name everywhere and anywhere.
What will you tell your grandchildren about the Second Golden Age of Piracy?
>Material's getting harder to find What material? I haven't had any trouble finding anything I want.
Gabriel Adams
Commencing feels.
Eli Ward
Well of course it's not going anywhere. I'm going to still be pirating myself, but I'd say we've definitely ended an era with the first nail hitting The Pirate Bay, then years later hitting Kickass and another large torrent website.
I've had to go into private trackers for my material and this is not as accessible to the common folk, meaning a golden era where anyone can pirate what they want.

It's starting to trickle, mate. Seeders are lacking, sites and links are taken down in hours.
The only good time to get a torrent is when it first comes out or months after no one gives a fuck and aren't taking from the seedbox.

Dude, Doom got cracked yesterday. Piracy is stronger than ever.
Tyler Butler
Damn that all hit me hard. I fucking love you guys.
Hudson James
I used to think this was drawn by some nostalgic faggot who wanted to justify wasting his prime years on the internet, but it's starting to hold true. Anything outside of the public internet (where you leave your full name and link to your Facebook/Twitter) is demonized.
It was still demonized back then as well, but people weren't too internet savvy and it was left to loners and bored people rather than letting everyone in.
>Piracy is stronger than ever M8 Doom's been out for forever. Years ago it'd be a day one crack.
Luis Hill
>see you sapce cobwoy I cringe every time
Zachary Gutierrez
Right in the feels
Dylan Jenkins
Is the deep web an actual thing? I thought it was just a meme shows used
Samuel Wright
>M8 Doom's been out for forever. Years ago it'd be a day one crack.
try private trackers, they're still far more convenient than any subscription service and have better selections
i havent paid for an album, movie, show or book in years
Easton Garcia
Remember when we were told to not put our information online? Hmm
Xavier Sanchez
as long as you say no homo it can't be gay
Kevin Peterson
been over for a while. if you weren't around for the late 90's and early 00's then you missed out on the real wild west of the internet.
Jacob Young
It's a thing, but it's immensely dead. Zeronet or Tor are where it currently is, and Tor's pretty much dead whereas Zeronet's trying to get up, but it's having a lot of difficulty because it's a P2P client which doesn't make it friendly to those that don't know how to hide their digital signature.
I remember very, very well. I've only got a Kikebook and that's strictly for so I don't get screened out for being a domestic terrorist or something.
Landon Price
It will be harder to arrest us uneducated amerifats for thought crimes.
Carter Roberts
The wild west days are just starting, look into peer-to-peer websites, don't even need a server anymore. An example is ZeroNet.
Websites that are shared like torrents PC to PC without a server.
Juan Sanders
I was there, but it wasn't that good because it was in it's infancy. Thousands of scattered blogsites that were here today and gone tomorrow.
I liked it after the dotcom burst, all the way to the Pirate Bay getting raided.
Zachary Carter
who /hussyfan/ here
Angel Taylor
They're teaching our kids in schools to use our real names for usernames. They tell the kids not to say anything you'll regret because it's there forever, when in reality you could just make a new acc. My son is in advanced classes and takes a "digital citizenship" class. Will we ever have a place where we can just be ourselves?
Isaac Rivera
shhhh you little leaftard you
Lucas Thomas
what's wrong burger?
Brandon Morris
I'm highly speculative. I'm still a little new to VPN's and a Peer to Peer connection concerns me, but I've checked out Zeronet on a secured network and as I said in an earlier post, it's certainly something, but it needs to grow.
Hopefully something big happens to restrict the internet, instead of this lukewarm half censorship that will send us scurrying to the alternatives like roaches. Necessity is the mother of innovation.
Blake Price
>Will we ever have a place where we can just be ourselves?
We have the chans. For now....
Juan Sanders
What the fuck is a digital citizenship class?
Jayden Wood
Bang
Nicholas Rodriguez
This one always gets me.
I love you guys. Even if you're all useless shitters, shart-in-marts, poo-in-loos, and leaves.
Mason Bailey
>Torrents sites are getting shut down left and right Life of a western cuck seems horrible
Thomas Kelly
I wished they'd made more of this show. So few episodes.
Nathaniel Stewart
Basically they teach the kids how they're "supposed" to act online, like nothing that might hurt another's feelings. I've told him to ignore everything that's taught in that class, but it really gets me sad to see (((them))) blatantly lie in front of kids and get away with it.
Brayden Cooper
One of the best.
Adrian Long
>t. Everyone
David King
>tfw I regularly use Russian sites for my downloads and torrents Why the are you niggers hosting my Civil War recreation music? I've been wondering why Russians are the only ones who can cater to my extreme shit taste.
Luis Green
you retard hipster canucks need to learn how to leave retards in the dark, so go suck on trudeau and shut the fuck up
Nicholas Long
This is now a Cowboy Bepop thread
Daniel Evans
Gonna be sad when this #invadePolStreet /Maga movement ends. Been a scream
Henry King
They're creating a generation of thinskinned pussies. Just put them on a chan until they don't get called a faggot or a nigger for an entire day.

How can people live in a country where you get jail for downloading shit? >This thread need some mummy.
Gabriel Roberts
I doubt it. It's going to be one of those infamous Obama administration moves where it slips under the radar under a happening.
Remember man, if there's a happening, check what's getting passed in Congress or is Obongo signed anything.
Jaxson Barnes
>tfw I will never relive the good old days of being a degenerate weed toker staying up late to watch this show on toonami >tfw future generations may never feel that carefree ever again
Liam Baker
It's the first step to getting rid of free speech. After ((((they)))) teach kids that words hurt, they'll go to ban words, then ban >as I was writing this I just remembered the hate crime speech law >America really is dead
Kayden Watson
Truly we were the beautiful ones.
Angel Barnes
This. Only 26 or so episodes, yet still somehow the best.
Cooper Ross
Because wherever you go you'll find russians, it's inevitable
Jeremiah Johnson
If they made another movie just as great as the other one, I'd be set
Daniel Garcia
Is there really any purpose to the Darknet other than downloading cheese pizza or buying drugs?
Jose Long
The Wild West days of the internet ended with the rise of social media.
Liam Watson
Have a sauce on this "hate speech" thing, Mr. user?
Blake King
Welp, looks like I'm spending the rest of the night in a nostalgia binge.
>being yourself on chan sites I haven't been myself without censoring myself a little since tor and bitcoins failed. There's alot I wouldn't say without a stolen cell or on someone else's wifi, etc. I figure it's good practice keeping my mouth shut anyway so I'm not used to being honest, to be honest, so during interrogation i won't slip up (after that chick gets) in and marshal law is declared. If people don't like it, people'll just go postal for having nowhere to vent. It be their fault just like murika to create terrorist groups. It's obviously murikan to rebel, its what the non jew leaders definitely want I think. Ironic.
Overrated the show.
Hudson Sanchez

Aaron Howard

Nicholas Hernandez
Akira was shit and I will not debate that.
Gavin Stewart
No really, I'd rather watch Battlestar Galactica than that immature anime. It's fraken gay man.
If anything is overrated, it's Berserk. It's so slow and badly animated, why the fuck do people praise it so much?
Christopher Fisher
I've watched BSG too. They're entirely different shows m8 555 come on now.
Gabriel Howard
It absolutely is. The world has been trending that way for a long time, take a look at Europe's speech laws. Additionally, look at Facebook and Twitter connectivity to EVERYTHING now, everybody wants you to link all of your accounts.
It will be spun as a good thing, and the average citizen will see it as such (stopping "racist hate speech"), but in reality, all it will do is make the populace easier to control and fearful of saying what they truly feel.
It's very much a tenet of modern liberal globalism, and it's coming very shortly, having started already.
Matthew Morris
>why the fuck do people praise it so much? They're parsing the manga.
Ryan Nelson
>like that's supposed to make feel any less nostalgic
Luke Myers
Even the manga is shit, why do animefags always think that they can take their cartoons and make them serious?
Logan Taylor
Oh! That reminded me that I forgot to put in the OP.
Youtube's new policies are a pretty big nail in the coffin. They're trying to make the internet more "family friendly"
Aiden Thomas
You guys are total pussies. Our best days can be ahead of us and you fuckers are throwing in the towel?
Carson Clark
Fine, I'd rather Nadesico. It uses immature ironies correctly.
Carter Kelly
Cartoons are shit.
Ryan Ward
Heh, if having shit taste takes you back to the good ole days, you should've just saved yourself some time and eaten some faggot's ass like we know you love to do, champ.
Noah Garcia
Agreed, these fucking manchildren need to stop looking at drawings and experience the real world.
Chase Fisher
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure what you're doing is pointless. If you even frequent here it's probably a sign that you're not a total brainwashed sheep. They collect data and keep tabs on everyone. Just accept your death you weasel.
Luke Sullivan
>you can't watch anime AND live a normal life
This stupid meme needs to fucking die already
Luis Wood
Good thing the wild west days of the internet are over and they'll eventually have no choice.
Austin Sanders
That's really weird to me. Should the internet be family friendly at all?
Certain segments of it, okay. But to try to change the general tone of the internet to cater to a small minority? Can the adult population not handle it?
Gabriel Lopez
Actually, we're the small minority. We were just over represented because the internet was somewhat of a niche hobby years ago.
Gavin Morales
>having shit tastes in old anime you loved as a kid is somehow bad
Akira is the best manga / anime movie ever made and you can never change my opinion on that.
Logan Myers
I live in a country where it's a crime to tell someone to kill them-self online
Nicholas Morris
So what will replace it as the home of rants and wired shit? Are people just going to start uploading their poops to liveleak now?
Liam Gray
>thinking death is what you should be worried about
Jordan Walker
I simply do not like the art style and the story is bleh, but I will admit I did not watch it when the anime industry was beginning to stagnate. I first saw it a few months ago.
It was probably a gem for it's age, but it hasn't aged well.
Gabriel Brown
....that's really a thing?
Juan Jenkins
kys
>implying I couldn't also get arrested for this
But only if it's against a woman.
Gabriel Bennett
It really depends. A lot of Youtube's best content goes against their new policies, and I'm not sure if you've seen, but if you break one, then you're not allowed to monetize your video which will kill a lot of content.
It doesn't really kill strange stuff, but it really dampers it if someone wants to get paid for it.
Chase Ramirez
>being obscure to really make you think What do you think they're going to do? Throw us all in a gulag? Torture? In a country that has more guns than people? America can't even be invaded. The worst they can do is have provocateurs like BLM chimp out and they're all a bunch of pussies. Stop being an edgy try-hard namefag.
Landon Turner
I've seen murikan teens go to prison over this if they actually an hero, so... not unless you're dealing with a very passive aggressive troll.
Lucas James
I honestly think that the monetizing of youtube is what killed it for me. Most of the content their now is just quickly made shit that panders to fanbases so they can harvest views. The best stuff is usually made by unknowns for no other reason than they wanted to.
Ryan Martin
>Torrents sites are getting shut down left and right.
and they have since inception. suprnova n e 1?
>Material's getting harder to find. source plz. it's easier than ever to watch/listen to anything for free just from a BROWSER
