You should probably rescue those before they rot. Disk rot is a thing

Halt,, citizen!!

You are found GUILTY of PIRACY!! You are mandated by libertarian law - and the honor system - to report to the Corporate Repayment Labour Camp for 40 years of indentured servitude!

If you fail to report, a division of ICE run by a cloned Dog The Bounty Hunter will be dispatched, 10 years will be added to your sentence and at least 2 generations of your offspring will be mandated to pay Corporate Reparations and will forfeit all their intellectual property rights to the Mega Yachts for Emotionally Stunted Yuppies charity.

You agreed to these terms when you were born and signed the license agreement by crying in the Pepsicola Maternity Ward.

This sentencing brought to you by the Houston Payday Loan & Organ Brokerage firm. Problems paying rent? You don't really need two kidneys. The option is on the table, and so is your kidney.

Hell yeah! You should check for a lot of those if they're available still via the normal means. A lot of the old and good fansubs are just outright missing, probably because a lot of people did what you did and then life happened and the availability fell along with the demand for fansubs for new series.

For example, a lot of the big fansub names are gone, and their seeds moved on. I know the content, for a lot of fansubs still exists in forms like you have here, but it isn't available on the internet and is at risk for bitrot and being lost media.

See if you can find ways to seed stuff for a while. I know at least I have a couple dozen stalled out 0 availability of them that I'm just waiting to magically appear online one day, that I myself will then try to seed. Maybe you'll make somebody's day, or year.

Edit: also, some fansubs that are lost end up being the only sources of the original version. It's rare, but it does happen.

2000 was a quarter of a century ago.

Better encodes aren't necessarily better

A lot of it ALREADY isn't.

Thanks, calculating the years that past since 2000 is always the hardest for me.

I hope I can recover them.

Hold up there little buddies, just a little more.

Close, 2008.

I don't think we'll ever see that :/

At least the anime ending is much better than Game of Thrones TV ending. :)

Somehow it's still set in the present day, present time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

12x! DVDs!!?

My first recorder was a 1X caddy unit.

Get off my lawn.

Close but late 2000s (2008). :)

I hope I can at least recover some of them.

I don't think they're encrypted but will look into this when I have time.

Thought of this is horrible but it seems that's where we are sadly. Even the 3000 year old tablets are still around yet we cannot recover 20 year old data because of sun burn and mites.

Agreed! I should rewatch that.

Fingers crossed. I hope I can recover some.

Ah, thank you! ^^

Let's see if they held up for ~20 years. Honestly no idea what I'll find out. Hopefully I can check soon.

Yeah, I'll do that when I have time. Though first I need find out if I lost the data or not. If not maybe I can even seed them, who knows. However most of this media were rmvb files, so I don't think I can recover fansubs as text.

Young one, my first "recorder" was a 3 1/4 floppy disk drive.

You're welcome! I'm legit so jealous xD

Have a lovely day, friend.

good selection! 🤌

I'll put Seirei no Moribito above them all, mostly because nobody ever seems to even know about it and it breaks my heart. The novel was good, and the anime ended up ten times better, somehow!

Hey, I've never seen this one, thanks for sharing! I'll definitely watch.

That was my first CD burner. I've actually punched cards, programmed on a PDP11 on a tty, loaded programs from a cassette and still have a handful of 8" floppies somewhere, but thank you for the "young one" 😊

theyre at least 20 years old
my dad has 3 of these 92-CD holders, filled with pirated windows from 95 through 7, pirated PC and Xbox games, pirated movies and some drivers

Sorry for the late reply, I'm so busy these days because of the moving out process.

Thank you again ^^

Maybe I should return to my calligraphy posts in Fediverse as well, though I'll need be in a settled life first. :)

I'll write one for you, just remind me :)

Have a lovely day too!

I wonder any of those still work.

they still read fine

That's nice to hear.

where does someone find fansubs these days? id love to find some for sailor moon or eva
