I've Defeated The Dailymotion Pirate

in #dtube6 years ago


I just got back home from watching Aquaman (finally), and my goodness, what a full on 2.5 hours! I loved every minute of it. I'm quite the superhero movie fan, and I enjoyed the last few Justice League movies too. I know some nerdier folk are struggling a bit with their faithfulness to the comics, but hey.

Anyway, I came out feeling I had the ability to control water, as one does after watching these epics, so I was already kind of a super hero in my head. There was an email that came through during the movie - as notified by my smartwatch, so it was the first thing I read when I turned on my computer.

I thought it interesting that both I and Aquaman have pirate antagonists in our stories.

Remember the pirate that was "backing up" all our DTube videos unto Dailymotion? The one that had seemed impossible to stop? Well, I stopped him cold today.

See this post
..and this one

Following some back and forth with Dailymotion's support team and various "managers", they decided to close the case without resolution because I refused to provide them with my home address and other such highly private data. In short, the pissed me off.

So I unleashed on them. I sent an email pointing some Legal stuff out, Article 13, EU legislation, and so on. Since they are a French company, they appreciated my mention of Article 13. I think what did them over, though was the threat of sending you crazy people - the STEEM SQUAD - after them on social media.

Special shoutout to @kawaiicrush for bringing this to my attention in the first place and bringing the fight to the pirate on Twitter. 🙅🏻‍♀️

SEE FOR YOURSELF

See, united we can do anything! Wakanda Forever!

Great new @adetorrent,
This is a true victory for the entire steemit family
Aquaman is such cool movie that I am willing to watch over and over again!
Regards always and you look good in the suit...

Thanks. You like the suit? Shuri made it for me with the latest tech.

You defeated them easily, I thought it would have been hard. Congratulations!!!!

Well done with the imposter!

At least common sense prevailed! YouTube is more difficult for that behavior to persist as well given how broad the outreach is and the lack of incentive to do so.

Dude, don't do that here.

Well done, Ade!

Well congrats for the victory, you are a steemit superhero already :)) I need to find some 2.5 hours in my life soon to see the wonder with my own eyes.

i really wanted to see AQ-man but where i live they only had it in English for a few days and it seem as though I missed my window! oh well, won't be the first film I didn't see right when it came out :)

I guess you could pirate it haha. Oh the irony :)

oh dear. here we go. pirate=bad quality but to be honest they already made so much money it is probably factored into their business model.

Yeah, you're probably right. Usually the most pirated stuff is also the highest grossing in the box office.

AQ man has already made a billion. Way to go Jason Momoa !

I think people just really wanted to see a Dothraki swim. They're supposed to be afraid of the sea :)

yes indeed. Funny how Jason was able to successfully market himself from quite minor (but super awesome character) in GOT to being in what might end up being the biggest money-making film of all time.
