Im honestly scared to get into pirating but some things are just way too overpriced. i know theres the piract bay and such sites but it requires torrecting and a vpn but i cant afford a vpn so is there like a direct downloads version of the pirete bay or a safer alternative? im looking to get a few peices of media by the way.

also how do you all store so much media without issues or getting into trouble? also am i aksing the wrong place by chance?

i know there is internet archive but i find it hard to find what you are looking for and kinda clunky.

Unfortunately I think paying for an anonymizing service of some kind is required. Itโ€™s easier to afford if you just go all in and drop all of your paid streaming services. But that can be difficult to get everyone in the household to agree on.

Seedbox services are a little more money, but for around $30/month you get a computer located in a country which doesnโ€™t care about data piracy. It downloads torrents for you and you can just log in later and download the files to your home machine.
