  Saving your comment to remember what sites to avoid.

    Save offline or bookmark in case it gets deleted.

    Also share it when you can in other places so people know what pages to avoid.

    Arghh

    I posted another comment with a ton of useful media sources to avoid. You might want to save that comment as well.

  Please do not do this. It’s illegal and you could end up getting free movies and tv shows.

  It’d be a damn shame if you accidently downloaded cloudstream, an android app that allows you to download and watch offline, or just stream nearly any show or movie. I wouldn’t recommend the super stream source, as it almost always has a version available. Also, just in case, maybe don’t download tachiyomi to allow you to read any comics, manga, or graphic novels you want. It also has shitloads of hentai and pulls from almost every website imaginable.

  And avoid Anna’s archive, as it has tons of ebooks which might(I’m not a lawyer) actually just be legal?

    And definitely avoid libgen and scihub, lest you accidentally learn something new without paying the exorbitant fees.

    Cloudstream says you need to install sites from repositories in order to stream. What sites or repositories should I avoid at all costs?

  You absolutely should not subscribe to a VPN before not visiting any of those sites. I can’t recommend www.privateinternetaccess.com or www.expressvpn.com at all, clearly having never used them. They’re also *useless *for circumventing cell network limitations on video quality. Completely useless.

  • EqMinMax@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    please also don’t check about protonVPN.

  Also, stay away from usenet and definitely don’t use the arr apps to automatically download your favorite shows and movies.

  • rikudou@lemmings.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Any guide on how to find the usenet groups? I’d hate to stumble upon them accidentally, so it’s best to be prepared.

      You’ll need one or more indexers to find content. Keep an eye on that sub for when some of the good ones open their registrations.

        Sounds too complicated for my tastes.

    Btw, you should also never get a seedbox to torrent anonymously. You also need to stay away from private trackers.

  Thanks a lot for telling me which services to avoid. You’re a lifesaver.

  Imagine if people set up a Plex/Jellyfin after visiting those sites to have their own streaming service setup. Pure madness!

  So like what’s the actual deal with pirating content nowadays? I remember in the early 2000s it was don’t seed and don’t torrent just-released content and you won’t get caught. Are the companies more rigorous nowadays? Are they going after people and you really do need a VPN? Can you torrent content at a human-watchable pace (like a show or two a month, maybe a movie or two a week) and no one’s going to notice you?

    Depends on the country. In the U.S., instead of chasing users themselves, they have leveraged the Internet providers to act as enforcers. If you torrent something they first send you notice of violation from your Internet provider.

    If you continue to torrent, they can
    cancel your service or the copyright holder can start legal action.

    Honestly, I would never torrent anything anymore. There are great webpages that offer streaming for no cost.

      A direct download/streaming site can be shut down at any time. Torrents are resistant to censorship, as they are decentralized. Just grab a good VPN or a seedbox and you can torrent as much as you want.

  • Jimmycakes@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Just get a VPN and torrent like normal in the 2000s. Nothing has changed. Seeding is not really a big deal anymore because everyone’s internet speeds are so fast.

    I personally love QBtorrent and the built in search engine, plus if you look for it there are block lists you can quickly install into it that blocks you from connecting to known IP addresses of copyright enforcers but I’d still recommend a VPN anyways for good measure from your ISP but those are cheap and easy too.

    I definitely seed a lot more than I did in the 2000s but I have fiber and unlimited data so that’s an easier ask.

    There are supposedly great private torrent sites but I’ve been ok with the ones everyone else uses and haven’t figured out if I need to do different.

    They generally ignore it unless you become excessive and then they warn you. But if you do it over a VPN, they can’t do anything. Or do it from a cloud instance from Amazon, or Google, and then download the files locally from there.

  Be careful putting that stuff on lemmy. Big studios aren’t afraid to sue
