  Yup, streaming has just become cable v2. I dusted off the VPN and went back to that. As a famous someone once said:

  Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem

  If the experience with piracy is FAR superior to streaming you can guess which way I’m going to go…

  Pirating is work. Streaming was convenience.

  The less convenient streaming is, the more likely I’m willing to work.

    Piracy is not a lot of work nowadays. Setting it up once takes some time, but after that everything is automated. If I want to watch a movie or show, I enter my overseer URL into a browser, search the name of it, click on request, and a few minutes later it will be ready to watch on my Plex and Jellyfin, that are also shared with friends and family so they can also browse my library and request stuff easily

      Sounds like a dream. Is there a guide for that setup?

        Keep in mind that in most countries you will need a VPN to safely download torrents without getting a copyright notice. And for torrenting you need a VPN that supports port forwarding
