If the original artist reports the pirated song, YouTube will most likely remove it.

If no one reports it, then YouTube is going to keep it.

Aren’t most songs on YouTube uploaded by the artists themselves?

It makes perfect sense, and I agree 100% with this statement. 👍

That’s one reason why Piracy will always exist, am I right?

I generally always buy games, because they are kinda cheap on PC, but I still refuse to pay streaming services to watch movies.

Steam Deck is great for consuming movies / TV series.

True that.

They didn’t check my laptop or mobile phone, however I didn’t really hold any illegal materials.

Just don’t bring any food, or any other prohibited things, they care more about real things than files you have in your laptop.

I had all my work related files uploaded to proton, just in case (I was going as tourist, planning on studying).

Good luck :)

You can try InnerTube of you care about music. It is like YouTube Music, but without ads, and can download the songs.

For videos, I am using ReVenced.

Ye, the 2 things are pretty much connected 🤣

It was the most pirated series, because it was also incredibly popular.

I am a Linux Student User, they gove me a presentation to do, and I simply used the PowerPoint Online Tool.

Of course, it might lack some features, but for an assignment every once and a while, was perfectly fine.

For the rest I always use Libre Office to complete my assignments, and convert the file to PDF afterward.

I think mostly thanks to Steam Deck. I have one, and it is probably one of the best gaming device I ever bought.

I usually aim for 1080p top, since all my screens resultion don’t go above that.

Sometime even 720p, depends on how many seeders.

I still use Twitter occasionally, not as much as before, even because I lost interest in many topics I followed before.

I almost cut out Reddit too, since 3th party apps still work at the moment, but when that moment comes I will drop it without any doubts.

Ah, almost forgot, welcome to Lemmy. :)
