Oh shit, didn't know you could do that
Thank you for this tip!!!
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.
I love ninety-ies movies
…aaand it’s gone
Yeah wtf. How'd the DMCA bots find these posts :(
If you think DMCA bots aren't trawling around in open piracy forums then I've got some swampland to sell you in Florida.

But don't worry, it comes with a bridge!
cool, i've always wanted floridian swamp under a brige!
It's pretty easy to come across ©️🏴☠️, even roms and full games in some cases
"In some cases"
Entire romsets for basically every console.
Yes and no. My daughter was trying to find Wii games with very little luck. Fortunately I have a bunch tucked away.
Vimm.net has a huge archive of ROMs and I can see Wii counted among them.
Warms my heart to see that site still relevant after probably twenty years.
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).
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
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.
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!
There's a wiki of the high seas that may help find a certain archive.
Where the db is, I have zer0 clue.
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.)
I think he is referring to my home instance - lemmy.dbzer0.com
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.
Are you still having a hard time locating a specific one? Let us know!
No it's all very, very good :)
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).
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.
RIP Brandon Lee. So sad
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 ?
I was really worried that it wouldn't hold up, but it does! It holds up well.
Love your username. I'm Kiazi's children, their faces wet, every time I watch that ep.
Temba, his arms wide!
Prequel in spirit or are the events tied in?
I just mean that the style of the movie is heavily copied by John Wick.
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.
That's heckin cool. I'll see if I can find that interview.
Damn its gone now.. I really think we need to backup IA. Contents frequently disappear because of copyrights..
Any random internet users can create an account and upload stuff to the internet archive. Just be careful when you download softwares there.
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.
1994 flintstones was amazing
