Ahoy my fellow pirates. Is there any site like Kemono for DeviantArt Premium Galleries? I found this one creator on the platform but all his good stuff is behind a 10$ (!) paywall for every "Gallery" of his. Bad is that they aren't only images but videos that I need, so there is that. Does anyone here know of some site of this kind?

P.S. The author also doesn't have a patreon or anything like that. He only posts to DA.

Edit: He also locks 95% of his stuff behind a 20$ (!) subscription on top of these galleries. You can't even access the old premium galleries if you buy the sub.

Piracy, is a reaction to corpo greed. It challenges the notion that essential tools, education, and entertainment should be locked behind paywalls many can't afford. It pushes back against monopolies that exploit consumers with inflated prices, restrictive DRM, and predatory subscription models. When corporations prioritize profits over people, piracy becomes a form of resistance--a way to reclaim access to what should be available to all regardless of economic background or means.

Piracy isn't about harming small indie creators or stealing their work. To call it virtue signaling is to completely miss the point, lil bro. If that's the way you think you're not a Pirate you're just a thief.

EDIT: The reading comprehension here seems incredibly low. Corporations aren't people--piracy isn't theft because you can't steal IP from corporations. My post doesn't remotely suggest that Piracy is theft from corporations. Piracy from indie creators, however, is theft because it harms a person, not a corporation.

It's not a difficult concept.

Piracy isn't theft though.
That's exactly what corporations want people to think about piracy.

In addition to what you wrote, piracy is also a form of dissent against copyright laws.

Piracy isn’t theft though.

Why would you reply without reading my entire post? Like why? What do you get out of it?

I read your post and understood it.
Why would you reply without trying to understand what I wrote?

Piracy/copying isn't theft.
Not all countries see copying as theft.
And neither does the platform we're currently using (Lemmy).
