Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

It's not a white whale, it's a Holy Grail. The white whale is something that occupies your every waking moment and you wish to eliminate so you can get on with your life.

Hi-Res scans of paintings and photographs. Like starry night from van gogh:

Would love a library of photos from Feininger or Salgado, paintings etc.

I would love a private tracker for art digitalizations.

I am struggling to locate Snow Devils, the sequel to wild wild planet. I have the rest of the gamma one movies.

I don’t think it will be a great film but we love silly b-movies over here.

Complete Baguazhang Nine Dragon System, by John Painter

It's out of print and good copies are about $130+

A good quality version of the "VR.5" tv series from 1995. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR.5

It's a TV show about virtual reality and has peak 90's aesthetic. They shot the scenes in "virtual reality"on black and white film and colorized them manually afterwards to create a very distinct and vibrant look. That must've been so much hard work.

Sadly, there is only a 240p VHS rip with extremely terrible quality out there. I've always wanted to watch the whole thing, but it's too degraded to enjoy like this.

I've been collecting for years, trying to get the full run of "Disney Adventures" magazine. I have a solid amount of physical magazines that i've been scanning, but would love to find a collection of the full run scanned and ready to download :)

There used to be this one swiss cooking show for kids called „Cocolino“ with a blue cat that had a fried egg as an eyepatch. Been trying to find it online every once in a while, never with any success.

The entire series of Inside the Actors Studio.

Having an apartment, and a job at the same time.

I’m 40. I’ve almost achieved it.

Edit: After a really long time I finally stopped being lazy and figured out how to upload the book to ABB myself.

I actually managed to find mine a while ago.

I pirate a lot of hard sci-fi/cyberpunk audiobooks using stuff like Mobilism or AudiobookBay and using Sirin Audiobook Player to listen to them, one of the first series I added to my library was the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy by Richard K. Morgan.

See everything was fine with the first two books (Altered Carbon and Broken Angels) which were readily avaliable on both those sites, but it was the final book Woken Furies that I was really after, reason being there were two versions: One was everywhere I looked and is narrated by William Dufris and the other that I was actually looking for is by Todd McLaren.

Basically people really hated how the first version by William sounded (there was an unnecessary reverb effect in some parts and he pronounces the main character's name wrong throughout the whole book) to a point they started a petition to get Todd McLaren (who did the first two books) to redo the final one. McLaren actually says the guy's name right in all the books and generally is a better narrator, also the weird reverb effects were gone.

It took months of searching but I eventually found it through Mobilism (second result in the image), using a burner e mail I got a free trail of their premium service to directly download the file. Now I can rest easy knowing I have all three books read by the same person.

Anyone know where to find the Calm meditation app audio files?

The Luck Luke animated films, released in the states on Disney homevideo with English dubbing in the 80s. I've had one sitting on 90% for well over a year.

I've been trying to find an Assamese movie called Ishu for years, but no luck so far.

I've been looking for the 3rd season of the Andy Milonakis Show for forever, I know it is probably hot garbage...but I love hot garbage. I also used to troll the internet for old CKY movies...but I found most of them, even the coveted "Cattlebag" movie by Brandon Dicamillo...it is all so horrible though...but meh...when one lives in a trash world, one gets a taste for the finest trash...

Once Upon a Time in Shaolin

Shakira's first 2 albums in lossless quality without any vinyl noise. I met a guy who shared a sample and I was amazed. Huge shame he's offline...

A proper colour pdf of D&D 5E.

I actually went and bought my white whale and ripped it myself eventually. It's a silly movie called DEBS but every version I could find had an error in the final scene. So I ripped it from DVD, if only now I could figure out how to self host it.

On a related note, the first white whale I ever had is how I got into piracy, it was a kids show called ik mik loreland that we got to see in school as to learn spelling. They never showed us the entire series, and I had been obsessed with it for years untill on the news they talked about birate-pay. Eventually found a tracker on tickass-korrents. It took me 6 months to complete from what I assume was one seeder who didn't use a PC ever. Recently register it myself and am proud to say it now has 4 dedicated seeders.

Digimon World 2003. I never owned a PlayStation (was a Nintendo-only fanboy for years until I bought a PS2 in the mid-00s a year before the Xbox 360 was announced) and tried to run an emulator of it for over a decade before it was fully supported. I also had trouble because I found out the only English version that didn't have that stupid "once you start fighting the final boss, you can't explore the game world anymore" thing they used to do in JRPGs was the European version. Now I can actually play it, even using gameshark codes, easily... if I could only find the time to play it!

Mr meaty, it took me a year or so to find it. Not on rarbg, not on pirate bay, not on iptorrents, not on DVD/streaming. I finally got it a month back and I'm exstatic.

Modern Marvels!

Japanese dubbed Star Wars. Japanese Palpatine be sounding really good judging from an excerpt found on YouTube. A veteran in the industry purportedly.
