I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a ‘user...
This same sentiment is what’s driven me to pirating all the movies and tv shows I own. I want total control over the things I’ve bought and paid for with my money. I also think this is crucial for the preservation of media.
I’d prefer to get a VPN to avoid the risk of my internet getting shut down, but I’m not aware of what the options for Linux are. I figured this would be a good place to ask.
Wanted to ask if there was another premium (or free) surefire way to get movies and TV shows in high quality without much hassle? I had an emby shared server that pretty much had anything I wanted but it looks like it shut down completely. I also didn’t notice that the reddits for plex/emby shares had been banned for a while...
I really enjoy having Plex as my media server. It’s about the same amount of hassle as Emby, and there’s also Jellyfin which I haven’t dabbled into yet.
I believe that information and knowledge should be free anyways (at least in a perfect world), because that leads to the betterment of society. Also if you are able to use the knowledge you learn from the things you pirate I think you’ll be able to come back and support those things that got you to where you are.

Just would like to have a discussion on the topic. I’ve purchased around 20ish movies/shows on Vudu, and my wife has grown to be unhappy with Vudu’s UI and especially how the watch progress works.

Hello! I have some q’s about torrenting as the title implies. First, I know that torrenting requires a VPN capable of P2P, but i cant afford a vpn with such capabilities. is there any free ones available?...
I’m pretty new to torrenting as well. To answer your questions based on the personal research I’ve done.
You absolutely require a VPN. Definitely a paid one. The free ones are not of good quality and a lot of them are more than likely to be detrimental to your privacy. Also P2P is not a requirement for torrenting. All it does is it enables you to make more connections in the swarm and making the torrent download faster. Some good recommendations of VPN’s with port forwarding I’ve seen thrown around are Proton VPN, Airvpn. Options without port forwarding are Mullvad, or IVPN.
I’ve been using 1337x for movies and TV shows and it’s been great. I’ve also heard Torrent Galaxy is good as well. As always though be really careful with what you download no matter what. Always run a scan on files you download.
