I couldn't find the Flintstones movie from 1994 anywhere but googling it I found it here https://archive.org/details/the-flintstones_202304 and you can either download it via torrent or directly. On top of it it says that the movie is CC0 which means Public Domain. But that can't really be, it's only 29 years old.

That must be pirated, or not?

Old movies and audiobooks is exactly the reason why I have archive.org in Prowlarr

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Oh shit, didn't know you could do that

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Thank you for this tip!!!

Indexer manager for the *arr stack of software. Alternate to Jackett.

I don't know any of those applications, but I'll do my homework.

Radarr - Manages Movies

Sonarr - Manages TV Series

Lidarr - Manages Music

Prowlarr - Manages torrent and usenet indexers for the above three

Each of these are used to automate media collection by searching indexers for torrents and nzbs matching media you've added to your library, pass them to your download client(s), and sort the resulting downloads into your media folders renaming them accordingly.

They can monitor rss feeds and perform regular searches to find newly released/added media, upgrade existing files to better quality ones, or simply monitor for things that hadn't been found previously. They can also monitor lists from imdb to automatically add media to your library.

I usually only use private trackers but am willing to give this a go as a low priority alternative. Thank you for your post.

The law is tricky. From Wikipedia "For works that received their copyright before 1978, a renewal had to be filed in the work's 28th year with the Copyright Office for its term of protection to be extended. The need for renewal was eliminated by the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, but works that had already entered the public domain by non-renewal did not regain copyright protection."

I hope that's the case here. The sad thing is that not having the rights to something doesn't stops you from filling a claim, even scammers fill DMCA claims over original content, the movie is already down from archive.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago

I love ninety-ies movies

Yeah wtf. How'd the DMCA bots find these posts :(

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you think DMCA bots aren't trawling around in open piracy forums then I've got some swampland to sell you in Florida.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Some people from Lemmy probably just flagged it.

It's pretty easy to come across ©️🏴‍☠️, even roms and full games in some cases

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

"In some cases"

Entire romsets for basically every console.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Yes and no. My daughter was trying to find Wii games with very little luck. Fortunately I have a bunch tucked away.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Vimm.net has a huge archive of ROMs and I can see Wii counted among them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Warms my heart to see that site still relevant after probably twenty years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I didn't want to say much to draw attention to it, but it does have the best Wii game ever (even though it doesn't list it in the top 10, which is criminal).

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is from /r/roms

https://r-roms.github.io/megathread/nintendo/

Has links to Nintendo games there and also shows archive.org source for them too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty cool. I was looking up nes games recently, turns out there are still people making games for the platform, open source and on GitHub!

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

There's a wiki of the high seas that may help find a certain archive.

Where the db is, I have zer0 clue.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You’re allowed to say the naughty thing out loud here. And since I have no clue what your comment is referring to, that would be helpful in fact. (Googling “db zer0” got me music-related stuff.)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think he is referring to my home instance - lemmy.dbzer0.com

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh shit, I didn't see what comm we're in.

Piracy Wiki/megathread. There's an archive in the Roms section that you can find Wii .isos on. Every one I've tried has been clean.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you still having a hard time locating a specific one? Let us know!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No it's all very, very good :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I get my mame ROMS (and most others too) from them. I’ve also found movies and some other content. Their torrents max my line (1 Gbps).

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Speaking of movies from the 90s, we just watched The Crow on Halloween (Devil's) night, and that movie is definitely a John Wick prequel.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

RIP Brandon Lee. So sad

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember seeing that movie when I was a kid, I also remember liking it a lot but can vaguely remember anything. Does it still hold up ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was really worried that it wouldn't hold up, but it does! It holds up well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Love your username. I'm Kiazi's children, their faces wet, every time I watch that ep.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Temba, his arms wide!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Prequel in spirit or are the events tied in?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just mean that the style of the movie is heavily copied by John Wick.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I think I remember an interview where Keanu openly states that The Crow, and a few other classics were the inspiration for JW. Mission Impossible, and The Boondock Saints would also be candidates.

Re. Your Username: Darmock, his gas tank empty.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's heckin cool. I'll see if I can find that interview.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Any random internet users can create an account and upload stuff to the internet archive. Just be careful when you download softwares there.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Damn its gone now.. I really think we need to backup IA. Contents frequently disappear because of copyrights..

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yes, it's quite crazy. I found archive of old comics, the entire series of Outer Limits (1995), all ScummVM games, tons of ROMS, and books, a lot of books.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

1994 flintstones was amazing
