I don’t even know how I’d get back into piracy. I used to have a seed box, accounts on all the big trackers, then it just became less hassle to sign up to strea

kind of regretting it now
- thatguy0900 4y agoI don't know anyone who pirates on torrents any more for things other than video games, just streaming sites. Use yandex and search for the show + stream. Google works too honestly but isn't as good since they respond to dmca requests
- redox99 4y agoIn my experience it's the other way around. Most people I know just buy the game on steam because it's a much better experience overall, you get updates, you don't have to worry about malware, etc. With movies/shows however it's the other way around. You get a better experience if you pirate. You get all the languages and subtitles. No ads. No annoying autoplay of other unrelated content. You get the actual video file so you can watch it without internet connection, on other devices, you get to keep it forever, etc. No invasive DRM. Much faster playback because it doesn't need to buffer.
- philihp 4y agoI often see the intros of shows like Foundation and The Expanse and imagine all of the particles are there as a big F.U. to pirates trying to reencode their paid stream.
- labster 4y agoParticle Man, particle man. Does whatever a particle can. File size bloat on a pirate boat? Particle Man, particle man. Business Man, business man. Extracts all the value he can. Residuals to pay, for old shows: no way! Business Man, businessman.

- fxtentacle 4y agoYou can grab the encoded but decrypted video out of GPU memory. So pirates usually don't need to reencode anything.

Set up Jackett, point it at all the big popular public trackers, and you can find nearly anything.

- StanislavPetrov 4y agoThere are an endless number of websites that stream virtually every show and movie for free in HD that you can access simply with a websearch and the proper ad blockers.
- nr2x 4y agoyou can also, uh, pay for music. I subscribe to three streaming services, buy vinyl and cds, and buy digital files as well.
