Why would they do that? They didn’t even explain why they decided to shut it down.

Posted my comment. It basically says that the First Amendment is violated by thse patent rules (because people have a right to challenge invalid or overreaching patents).

Created an “illegal number” out of it. It’s 34,938 digits. Just copy this hex representation of it, and paste into a hex editor (i.e. HxD): www dot factordb dot com /index dot php? showid= 1100000004599284049&base=16 (you’ll have to fix the url; I didn’t want Disney getting on FactorDB for hosting it). After that, just save as “Ant-Man 3 (Quantumania) Script.txt.gz” and extract wherever you want. Make sure to distribute this number wherever you can (i.e. on pirate sites, your blog, Pastebin, the Dark Web, etc.), so people can view this script.

Thanks! I corrected the post title.

This: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

It’s where someone tries to take down one (or more) file(s), and news of that goes public, resulting in more attention to the file(s) in question. As such, we need to redistribute the script, just like what happened with the AACS key (09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0), which can now be found on thousands of webpages. If enough people see something of this sort, they might redistribute it faster than the copyright owners can take it down. That’s how warez (and digital piracy in general) has survived to this day. It’s basically like the story of the Hydra: Cut one head off (take a site down), and multiple heads (mirrors) emerge from the body.

EDIT: Also, how do I copy the text from the archived page, so I can paste it into a txt and redistribute? I tried Ctrl+C, but I get an error saying (in Portugese) something about an incompatible browser, which doesn’t make sense when I’m doing it in the newest version of Chrome. I tried other browsers, but got the same error.

Let’s do a Streisand Effect with that dialogue leak, in order to show them that we have a right to distribute it under the First Amendment (at least in the U.S.). Maybe make some “Free speech flags” out of it, or make a prime number out of it (like what was done with DeCSS)? That would definitely overcome any DMCA takedown attempts.

EDIT: Here it is: https://web.archive.org/web/20230121045848/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y7adPnjTvgQFVEO6bgnbSDkDGVcfiONrfQJ9gzDMzPw/edit

Do you know of a free VPN I could use, that I wouldn’t get DMCA notices with?

But I want all the photos, and at the rate Getty charges for the max resolution (which is what I want), I would have to sell my house first, and I still wouldn’t have enough money. That’s why I want to know how to get them for free, because Getty overcharges by a factor of over 100x. Plus, I checked, and anything (movies, music, photos, etc.) involving Elvis won’t go public domain until 2046 at the earliest, 2067 at the latest. That’s way too long for most people to wait.

I was hoping that someone would find a way to get the highest res for free. There has to be some way to do it, even if no one around here knows how. I’m hoping to make a torrent out of them (the pictures would be in a zip file, in order to reduce the chances of getting caught without VPN). I just want it to be such that anyone can get all of the Wertheimer photos in max res without having to sell their house first. Getty charges way too much money for full-size photos.

I’m surprised that the Reddit admins haven’t realized that digital piracy isn’t stealing/theft, because no one is being deprived of anything. The files are being copied, not moved, and the original is still in the hands of the publisher. AFAIK, the only form of digital theft would be to delete/move files from a remote server/PC, hacked or not.
