I found this thread: I've made a full archive of Yuzu

Yeah, the way that i would do it is to look up the Wikipedia page for the movie Heat and go to the cast section.

This is how i always look for information and it can actually be to my detriment. Like that time i went to Reddit to ask them what that movie was where time is a currency, and somebody pointed out that i could have just googled "time is money movie" and it would have immediately shown me In Time (2011).

Also, when i want something from an app or website i will consult the alphabetical list or look for a link to click, instead of just using the search bar.

I don't know, somehow it never entered my brain that search bars are smart and can figure out what you meant if you use natural language. Even though they've been programmed that way since before i was born

I leave things up for ages. It seems like once I’ve DLed something, no one else wants it.

Can relate

I download youtube videos in .mp3 format very often, both for music and to listen to as podcasts. I don't know if it's the best method but this is how i do it:

• Use the MultiSelect extension to select multiple videos and put them in a playlist, which i name Download. This playlist has to be public.

• Use Open Video Downloader to download this playlist, making sure that it writes the metadata in tags. If necessary, it can also download age-restricted videos by importing cookies from your browser, i've done it a couple of times but it's not convenient.

• I pretty much leave it at that, but you could use a media tagger to add further information to the files.

People are arguing about the audio quality, meanwhile the only reason i don't do this is because i find it more work to tag and name the files properly. When you download from Soulseek/torrenting it usually comes already tagged

I do still have youtube downloads in my library, especially when it's just one or two songs.

If, like me, you just wanted to know what the Bob Dylan defence, is:

"Meta's response in this case seems to be that a powerful technology corporation should not be held to the same standard as everyone else for illegal conduct."

The authors mocked Meta for raising what they call "the Bob Dylan defense" of its torrenting, citing song lyrics from "Sweetheart Like You" that say, "Steal a little and they throw you in jail / Steal a lot and they make you king."

Yeah, video storage is what prevents corporations from creating YouTube competitors, and it also prevents decentralized users from competing

I asked this question and was linked a github that keeps an up-to-date list of trackers that work. That, as far as i can tell, is the best i can do.

They're public torrents, if people don't want it then there's not much i can do

I don't think ideas are the problem, it's that new forms of distribution are causing the industry to panic. Producers are making safer bets (sequels, remakes, franchises) so original ideas, which tons of people have, aren't getting funded.

Also worth noting that producers these days are less Hollywood and more Wall Street, they don't really understand movies so they make calls based on numbers and precedent that let them estimate profitability.

Yeah i'll run out of space one day, but the more popular movies will be the first to go because i know i can get them again.

Still plenty of chance for someone to seize my lonely booty

No, it's movies, and it's largely smaller lower-quality RARBG releases. They used to have a range of qualities available and the middle was always more popular, their highest and lowest quality releases used to be harder to seed, and that was years ago before they shut down
