> The barrier to piracy is non-existent these days and you actually get a far better experience I hadn’t used a torrent in a decade and revisited the concept due to this streaming service convulsion I found that: VPN to another country was a 1-click in a chrome extension I already had that for other reasons, and all the torrent sites remind you to enable it or install one thats just as simple My TV was running a DLNA server on my network with a lot of storage space I never knew about. I had only connected it to the internet for an OTA update once, and never used any of the “Smart TV” stuff. But it also has USB ports. It runs the latest video formats and can read subtitles packaged with them The torrent downloaded directly to it at gigabit speed over my Wifi 6 network the ISP had already setup with their gear The quality is far higher than what gets streamed over the internet. Something I was willing to overlook as long as the streaming services were more convenient. I think a lot of people have similar infrastructure already right now, without needing to be an enthusiast in electronics or home entertainment really is better at the moment
