Uhh thats out of their business what gets blocked by AV...

Also, piraters will just not install that AV... It's not complicated. And if they do that, they'd have to include an option to NOT block it otherwise it will completely be against freedoms. Also, How do you "block" pirated content? It's a program/mp3 file/movie file...

Also, if the AV is pirated... Thats just a little irony there! :D

Most piraters use pirated AV so that'll go well...

RIAA doesn't know what to do anymore and everyday they look more and more stupid and desperate for their evergrowing money hunger.

If you guys hate the RIAA, it's pretty simple, don't buy their music, or buy just individual tunes online from Amazon or iTunes who sell drm-free songs.

Most artists out there make almost nothing on albums. Their profits are from concerts/events and other activities or services and products made by them, not by their recording companies.

There's no way that the RIAA is doing all of this to protect its artists and whoever believes this should stop.

how would the AV see if the thing is pirated or not?
good luck ID'ing what is and isn't illegal software/media via software :)

yep, i have no clue how they would plan on doing this, all it would do is add an extra step for the people uploading.

run >> stripcopywriteid.exe >> complete >> upload.

    • Amazon Greenlights A New "Stargate" Series

      By ryansurfer98 · Posted

      I disagree. Boomer execs only want one thing; money money money. The original fans of the series want a specific reboot that focuses on the vibe and feel of the original series. Boomers don't want that because then they can't have a 8 to 9 figure return. This was canceled because of greed. 
    • Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger by David Uzondu Image via Meta Meta is expanding Meta Business Agent, a feature that the social media giant promises will help businesses deliver "personalized experiences for customers using AI," launching the tech globally. Before this global release, Meta Business Agent used to be a free test called "Business AI" during a testing phase that started in October 2024. Meta picked India, Mexico, and Brazil to test the software, gathering data from over one million active shops that used the chat tools. The agent works on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, helping shops answer customer questions, check incoming leads, book appointments, and recommend products from a catalog. Meta said that the business agent can match your brand's unique tone when speaking to customers, and that it plans to improve the feature to handle "daily operations" like market research, product insights, calendars, and rival research. Soon, users will find these AI-supported shops easily by typing names in the WhatsApp search bar. Image via Meta Apart from the Business Agent, Meta is also introducing the Meta Business Agent Platform, a new agentic platform that provides the infrastructure needed to build, customize, and run virtual helpers at scale. With the Platform, companies link their bots to services like Shopify, Zendesk, and Shopee using firm-level controls, guardrails, and metrics to define strict rules. This setup lets coders build custom behaviors, keeping customers happy with direct answers. Speaking of agents, you might have heard that hackers recently broke into Instagram accounts by simply asking the Meta AI support assistant on the mobile app to hand over control. You can check out our coverage on that here.
    • Transmission 4.1.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Transmission 4.1.2 by Razvan Serea Transmission is a fast, easy-to-use bittorrent client with support for encryption, a web interface, peer exchange, magnet links, DHT, µTP, UPnP and NAT-PMP port forwarding, webseed support, watch directories, tracker editing, global and per-torrent speed limits, and more. Transmission has one of the lowest memory & resource footprints of any major BitTorrent client. Transmission's light overhead is one reason why it is so well suited for home NAS and media servers. Having been used by Western Digital, Zyxel and Belkin, Transmission gives truly impressive performance on almost any compatible hardware. Transmission is an open source, volunteer-based project. Unlike some BitTorrent clients, Transmission doesn't play games with its users to make money. Transmission doesn't bundle toolbars, pop-up ads, flash ads, twitter tools, or anything else. It doesn't hold some features back for a payware version. Its source code is available for anyone to review. Transmission doesn't track users, the website and forums have no third-party ads or analytics. Transmission 4.1.2 changelog: This is Transmission 4.1.2, a bugfix release. It fixes 20+ bugs and has a few performance improvements too. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version. Highlights Fixed 4.1.0 bug that could cause duplicate HTTP announces to be sent to trackers. (#8639) All Platforms Reject benc data that has invalid characters.
