Not that you should be using public trackers, but if you read the comments it should become clear what is fake and what is not.
its less of a problem then ppl think...What else do you expect from people that study torrents instead of using them?
I wonder if the title really said "I would imagine that 25% of files downloaded from The Pirate Bay are fakes" but was shortened lol
What? You mean the included getyourpasswordhere.exe won't get me the password to matrix7.CAM.rar?
All my illusions...gone :cry:
The point being, that even having a supposed 25% bad experience by downloading a fake file, the entire experience is still 2500% more pleasing than dealing with DRM files. Legitimate online services I support, Netflix, Hulu, Zune rentals. The problem is still selection and quality. Like I hate watching a Netflix movie, and for no particular reason it wants to show the next 15 minutes through grease-film vision. The pirating community has already shown it will crack every copyright protection and distribution limiting system they'll come out with.
Dummy's Guide to Defeating Online Piracy:
Chapter 1. Work as hard as pirates or even harder to make digital content easily available, quick to obtain, efficiently encoded with high quality, and universally playable.
Chapter 2. Lower your pricepoint.
Now that's worded very simply, there are a lot of real details to append to that, but that would be a winning strategy. Pirates always seem to offer better ways to distribute media, while antipiracy tries to find a way to bring everyone backwards.
good. weeds out the idiots.
This just goes to show why its not a good idea to be a first responder to a P2P offer. After a few people have aquired it, they usually post whether its fake or infected. So if you wait a while and be patient, you will download less junk. Also (with movies any way), you can set utorrent to just download the first one or two rar files when there is a file set, and then use winrar to "keep broken files" to test if the video will even play. If it does, you can start the download over again and deselect the file(s) you already have. If a large file is in one chunk and not split rars, its a higher probability to be fake.
What I hate is a movie listed as in English but there is some Russian Moron talking over the single track. To me thats a fake too. Why can't they make a second track so it can be disabled? DuH!
Does anyone even use FTP search engines anymore? The speeds are not always that great but filezilla can download many files that show up in the search.
Don't get me wrong, I buy dvd's all the time, but I like to preview before I buy so the Studios hype is no longer a misrepresented issue. Like the critic who says "This movie stinks, do not buy it" and the studio quotes him... so and so says "buy it". If they can lie and cheat so can I, what goes around comes around, and now they whine like little girls.
