Where should I post a piracy guide? (sh.itjust.works)

I've written a guide about how to pirate fonts from a particular subscription service. I'm not sure where I should post it so it can be of help to anyone who is interested. I don't think the mods would be happy if I posted it here, because it might be too much of a liability for the instance if the company behind "particular subscription service" wasn't happy with that information being out there.

Mail it to Thefbi@thefbi.com

[–] Emerald@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 months ago

Done

[–] ReedReads@lemmy.zip 18 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Put it on any pastebin and then just post the link here. Nothing fancy.

[–] Emerald@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Like the old BBS text files. Nice

[–] ReedReads@lemmy.zip 25 points 5 months ago

The irony of posting a font piracy guide in a place that only supports plaintext…

[–] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Plus, add it to the wiki or I can do it for you 👍

That's great, thanks for making this, and for going to the trouble of making an account here just to update the wiki. Awesome stuff :)

You could call them a literal gem eh?

.....I'll see myself out

Thank you so much dude. I love switching fonts on my e-reader, depending on the mood of the book. And some fonts I wanted to try were premium.

I haven't check if they are on there or not, but regardless, it's cool that I have another source for finding fonts. Thanks!

That sounds like something that should be ARCHIVEd. Just in case a visitor from a different GALAXY wants to use them in the distant future

[–] Emerald@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 months ago

Hmm. I can't find what you're hinting at.

[–] people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 5 months ago

Here.

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Don't know where but I know I'd be interested.

I get the idea of paying for fonts but it's like copyright law to me. After x years it's free game.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I just want fitting fonts for my personal projects. I don't want to do commercial stuff with it. :(

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 2 points 4 months ago

Me too. Don't care much for commercial uses.

[–] istanbullu@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

here?

[–] daisyKutter@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

I am interested, can you private message it to me, please?

[–] Zintag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

I'm interested!
