Weirdly enough, DVDs are still by far the most popular physical format.
I still buy them, but I prefer when it's a dvd/blueray/3D (if available) combo pack.

Plot twist. It was 1 zippo lighter, but it was a comically large one. It just weighs 20 lbs.
At that point wouldn't it just be a really shitty flamethrower?

Soon it became dangerous to download the movie, though, as popular demand for the movie quickly put a target on downloaders' backs and scammers soon planted malware in Spider-Man movie torrents that ReasonLabs reported used the movie to "lure in as many victims as possible."
ReasonLabs said that the malware was "likely from a Russian torrenting site." It took over the would-be Spider-Man movie watchers' computers without setting off Windows Defender and with the goal of cryptomining in the background for the bad actors' benefit.

Some players might have vulnerabilities that people exploit; but honestly it's very rare, especially with most people auto updating their programs.

He didn't get arrested for theft. He got arrested for being part of a distribution network that empowered Russian hackers.

Honestly, yeah, he was enabling Russian Hackers.

Yes let's not go after the south African literally fomenting the rise of a fashist takovet. Let's go after the guy selling bootleg DVDs.
I'm okay with both. This guy was enabling a Russian Hacker network.

He really wasn't. The media he distributed came with Russian malware.

15 years? Wow. He could have run down multiple pedestrians, killed one of them, and used a false insurance claim to try to cover it up and gotten a third of that.
One is running some nobodies over, the other making a rich guy some pennies less rich.
Must set a precedent, y'know?

What? Really? I would have thought dvd pirates would have far worse conditions than pedophiles.
Don't let it fool you. Serial pirates are the biggest enemy of mankind. We should strive together to make sure they get the penalty they deserve.

No, i mean, bluray encryption is partly bound to keys and the player. Even blurays from 2020 often fail with libbluray and a newish player. I see no way to rip a pre-release bluray.
