Community Rules
- If you do not like this community, then consider blocking
!piracynews. - No direct links to illegal streaming stuff, which means websites that explicitly stream content, such as movies, audio or live footage.
- No Reddit Mods, who take legit stuff down. See paradox of tolerance.
- FOSS based tools are preferred due to malware + trust reasons. I see less and less reasons to prefer closed if there are solid FOSS alternatives.
- Submitted URLs must be shortened via tinu.be. Trolling or abusing this will result in a community ban. This must be done to maintain plausible deniability.
- You must submit a screenshot of submitted tool or website and provide a minimal description.
- Resubmission are only allowed if original URL changed, or there was a link update, 404 etc.
- No NSFW of any kind. I do not want to lure pedos and other sickos into this community.
- For lots of URLs submissions use base64, or the URL encoder.
- Respect original authors submission, no disrespectful behavior is tolerated.
- For DMCA please eMail or DM me first.
- No NSFW of any kind.
- Do not shit-talk community members, other members or the mods behind their back and then show up in here like nothing happend.
- No what this have to do with… questions, or straight ban, take the news or info or leave it alone.
- No URLs with tracking code e.g. AMP, clean links only.
- No Hitler or Vaccine stuff, history only allowed regarding Piracy not politics or social things.

BS article doesn’t link to the repo or anything =/
Why should it link to the repo … the author gave an interview to Bloomberg.
Because that’s how news is supposed to work… they report on and link to primary sources…
EDIT: there are a bunch of copy-cat repos, how do we know they even talked to the right person?
EDIT2: because its an open-source project, the code still exists when the original author leaves, and can be picked up by others. The project is not dead, so why wouldn’t they link to it?

Locked to avoid clowns hijacking the valid news.
Same like The-Eye, people are not willingly to support good projects and this is what you get. Does not surprise me, and always eating a 💩- 🥪 results in less or no motivation to continue.
Now shady people will copy it, scam and infect users with fakes… bravo…
I once again blame Piracy Subreddit mods, they were aware of it, did nothing to help here with their 400k user-base to reach out, exactly same like it happened with The-Eye.
