Well. I bought myself an extra 2tb ssd drive and I pirate all the media I want. It’s mine. Forever (or until the drive takes a poop). I use VLC to watch any videos. Free open source video player.

I just hook my PC to my TV via HDMI to watch whatever. (There are ways to turn off your laptop screen while doing this if you want).

I use bit torrents to pirate.

Piratebay is still out there for torrents. I get audio books from audiobookbay and I get ebooks from librarygenesis. I get comics from… somewhere. I can check later and get you a link if you want.

I put those on my tablet and read them with some free app. Cbr files.

I used to pay for media. Like a shmuck.

Got tired of paying subscription services where my favorite shows just disappeared randomly.

Or paying for multiple subscriptions that kept increasing in $$ every year.

Nah .

Pirating is the way.

Every now and then I’ll buy an actual DVD for an old movie if I can’t find a torrent for it. Usually used on eBay.

At least I own it.

But yeah. Get you an extra drive. Just get the raw files yourself.
