I never did it. How can I do it? And where I need to go for it?
Nice try, cop.
Simple: https://fmhy.pages.dev/videopiracyguide#streaming-sites
More complex: Mullvad VPN, QBitTorrent, 1337x.to
Honestly? If it’s your first time and you just want to watch movies for free? Install an adblocker (uBlock Origin Lite, for example) and check out the websites listed at https://fmhy.net/videopiracyguide.
Just get things like premiumize or alldebrid I can’t remember the last time I even opened a torrent.
If you’re using windows, make sure you set it to show file extensions. Watch out for files with a double extension such as “mkv.exe”. That’s guaranteed to be malware. Don’t open any link, bat or com files either.
Step 1: download the free ProtonVPN app; https://protonvpn.com/download
Step 2: download the free qbittorrent app; https://www.qbittorrent.org/
Step 3: download vlc media player; https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Step 4: install and connect ProtonVPN to a free server.
Step 5: Pick a public torrent website from the wiki and look for a movie you want to watch.
Step 6: copy the magnet link the website lists and add it to bittorrent. Wait for it to connect and download.
Step 7: enable showing extensions if you use windows; https://www.howtogeek.com/205086/beginner-how-to-make-windows-show-file-extensions/
Step 8: make sure that all your downloaded files only ever play in vlc, and that they arent .exe files.
Step 9: leave qbittorrent running (and seeding!) On your computer after your movies are downloaded.
For newbies qbitrorrent’s search is more than adequate enough to replace steps 5-7. But this is a great guide!
Yes, the search is great for starting out! But i think you need to add the python-search plugins first, right? Not that its hard to do but it is something that needs to be done first
Use a VPN. Here’s a free one: https://riseup.net/en/vpn
Go to a torrent site, such as https://1337x.to/
Search the movie you want, find a torrent that suits you.
Download and watch.

Personally, i would never get a free one. But mullvad have gained my trust. Especially as they have been raided, proved that what the LE wanted did not exist, and therefore by law they had to turn around and leave ^^
I’d agree, but RiseUp is one of few good things online that’s free and not sucking your data off the bone. They’re a group of anarchists who provide free online services (mainly email, newsletters, a vpn) for free for activists.
And the FBI has raided them once and found nothing.
There are two schools of thought, and one of them is insanely wrong.
The current preferred method (by youngins) for pirating is by using a VPN provider to “hide” your torrent traffic, which is generally valid, but it’s not a silver bullet and it’s a wrong way to think.
The other is to use a seedbox, which is a remote server hosted in a country that doesn’t recognize piracy as a crime to begin with…
The choice is clear. Especially when you consider to get a good private VPN you’ll have to pay $5-10/mo. You may as well pay $5-10/mo to commit a crime where no one thinks its a crime, then you never have to worry about it. Using a VPN you can still get caught, it’s just exceptionally rare because conditions have to line up perfectly. But what if your VPN is down, and you accidentally begin a download? You willing to get a $100,000 fine for that?
Just use a damn seedbox.
Just wanted to point out that if your client is configured properly it won’t have any connections while the VPN is down.
This is true, but when you factor in only maybe 10% of people know and understand how to enable a VPN kill-switch, it doesn’t bring much comfort.
Question out of curiosity, do you then keep stuff on the seedbox only or do you download to your local hard drive in your country? Because that download would still be illegal or wouldn’t it? Just if we are talking about legality of things, everything else set aside.
Because that download would still be illegal
Of course its still illegal. I’m not saying it’s using a seedbox makes it legal to download illegal torrents. It’s just legal in the country of your seedbox. So if your seedbox provider gets a DMCA notice, they’re going to throw it directly in the trash.
Additionally, between my seedbox and me, is encrypted. So how would anyone know what I download from my private seedbox? There’s realistically no way to get “caught.” Copyright holders pay people to monitor torrent traffic for people to prosecute and hassle–but the same isn’t true for private servers which encrypt traffic.
Downloading copyrighted material isnt a crime; redistribuiting it is. (Seeding, in the case of torrents)
But then leeching via torrents is also legal. So one could just be an asshole for legality’s sake.
That is coincidentally exactly what meta is arguing in their lawsuit.
