even if shitty subscription services like HBO and or Netflics do exist, I wonder if it's worth committing a crime so you can listen to .mp3 versions of movies when, most of the time, you can get better quality audio from streaming them?

if it was a crime, the sight wouldn't have existed, nore would have it ever been created, besides, like 14 to 15000 people use it acording to how many downloads I saw on the home page

besides, I don't feel like paying 17 dollars for netflix, especially after they removed shows of my child hood like law and order, the simpsons and family guy, so yeah

i have to agree, many people use it at this point indeed

Unless the site has a license to store and redistribute the movies in a DRM free format from all relevant owners which I doubt they do, what they are doing is pirating intellectual property. That makes it a crime. The amount of people downloading the content is no excuse, nore the unwillingness to pay for a subscription service.

I understand your position, and from a certain pragmatic point of view, I kinda agree. But if the right information gets to the right people, you will be paying a lot more than if you had subscribed in the first place. That's not a risk I'm taking. Are you?

well why is it especially for blinds so poppular, or why noone found an ishue with it then, why noone said anything yet? Like i heard nothing bad about it

if it would be a, lol, chrime, someone would at least say anything, or not?

Patric has recently been caught wanting to use someone elses assets without crediting them. By your logic, if noone found out about it, that's ok then?

The movies and series up there can't be used in a lot of ways though. All of them are available in mp3, meaning a sighted fellow would never benefit from them, they wouldn't even be able to watch it together with a blind mate of theirs. Until not many sites provide audio description, I'll just call this site as two generous eyes helping me out.

That's true.
I had to watch game of thrones like this because audio description simply wasn't available on HBO, and it still isn't.

Mat, that is simply not true. There are lots of websites, created for the express purpose of distributing pirated content that has existed for over a decade now. Just because a website is committing piracy doesn't mean they magically go away.
As I understand it, domains can be blacklisted and search engines can stop indexing them, but that usually only happens if the site in question garners enough attention from the right people.

Look at the multitude of spam in a youtube commont section on a popular video. I guarantee you will find a link somewhere that leads to the page of a scammer. Those can stay up for a long while before someone takes action. By your logic, that webpage is legal as long as it's still up, right?

So you have audio books, which the sighted can also listen to, unlike audio-described movies; and even they are not illegal to listen to or publish.

And there's this library located where I used to study until I graduated quite recently. So volunteers record themselves reading books and there's even an association in Turkey that prepares audio descriptions for popular or requested movies and they're all available on this library's website. So I highly doubt they're illegal.

So, MP3 versions of movies, especially those with Audio Description, can be listened to with a sighted person. A sighted friend and I do this all the time. When things are described, or music or dialog is spoken, she is able to see images of the scene in her mind.

But would she not prefer to watch them?

Of course she would. Listening to movies in mp3 with sighted people is pretty stupid because 99 percent of them just won't cooperate. I believe when they listen to a film with you in such a way, they do something on their phone instead of actualy listening because for them it just ddoesn't work like that.
