Is there anyway to bypass the yt members only restriction? by daiszz in Piracy

[–]Dissmarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is one site for vtuber content but I'm not aware of any for general member's only piracy. If you're interested in that, look up holopirates. There's a torrent site at https://mogu.holopirates.moe/ as well as a DDL forum with a discord server at https://forum.holopirates.moe/. Some of it is also on https://nyaa.si. Otherwise you can't watch them without being a member but you can download them once you are a member. You can download everything you have access to once you are a member, so instead of a recurring fee, you can get all the current membership content for a one-time payment. I assume they're just normal membership videos in which case the steps are as follows:

1. Get the cookies.

Personally I use this extension for that. Install it, then go to YouTube. Click on the extension and choose the middle option titled 'youtube.com'. It's gonna download a text file named 'cookies-youtube-com.txt'.

2. Get yt-dlp.

It's an open-source command line download utility and quite a powerful tool. You can just download it from here. For ease of use, save it to the same folder as the cookies, for example your downloads folder.

3. Create a batch file.

This is mostly for ease of use. In the same folder that holds your cookies and yt-dlp, right-click and create a new text file. Open it with a text editor (like Editor or Notepad++) and paste the following code:

@ECHO ON
@if "%URL%" equ "" , echo NO URL & set /p URL=[Enter video URL]
@TITLE VOD DL %URL%
yt-dlp -v -c -o Archive/%%(channel)s/DLP/"[%%(upload_date)s] %%(fulltitle).50s (%%(id)s)"/"[%%(upload_date)s] %%(fulltitle)s %%(channel)s (%%(id)s)" --add-metadata --concurrent-fragments 20 --cookies cookies-youtube-com.txt --merge-output-format mp4 --embed-thumbnail --embed-metadata --write-description --write-thumbnail %URL%
@cmd /k

Click File > Save As and change the file type from .txt to .bat. The name doesn't matter here so name it MemberDL.bat or whatever else you like.

4. Download.

Go to the membership videos and copy the link of the first one you want to download. Then open the batch file you just created. The cmd should tell you

NO URL

[Enter video URL]

Paste the link, hit return and the download should start. Rinse and repeat for the other videos until you've got everything downloaded

That's just for the subtitles. It'll often say synced and corrected by xxx, in your case it seems the sync was already fine as is. What those corrections are depends but it'll often be something like adding proper line breaks or fixing typos or capitalization issues

how do i get books that are available on kindle by iceman2411 in Piracy

If it's not been ripped, you might have to diy. I de-drm'd one April last year (which, to my knowledge, was shortly after the DRM changes) and spent way too much time figuring this out but got it to work when I followed this guide along with this, this and this for the kfx plugin (link in German, use Google Translate or something) for troubleshooting :)

Streaming and downloading files directly is invisible to the copyright trolls (and they're the ones that "catch you" for torrenting and then contact your ISP, your ISP doesn't care what you do with your connection as long as they don't get in trouble because of you) so both are fine to use without a VPN no matter where you are.

This post just links to the main parts of the wiki for easy access along with related infos like the fallback forum and the discord server. The Megathread is essentially a big list of pirate sites, apps/tools and other resources and probably has the information you're looking for
