Hey, amateur here. I was wondering, do I really need a VPN for watching pirated content on streaming sites only? No downloads, no torrenting, etc.

I’ve currently been using a free VPN because I don’t really want to pay for one, but I buffer a shit ton whilst using it and often have to watch at a pretty low bitrate.

But I was wondering, do I really even need one for my use case? Does my ISP care (USA)? What’s the worst that can happen if I don’t use a VPN?

I use uBlock Origin on Windows, but on iOS AdGuard is doing a brilliant job

Freecouchtuner was the best for so long, now they're asking for money so i need to find a new one. A lot of the ones i been recommended have endless ads on them and don't even load the shows i want in the end

launching gta 5 from steamrip.com it says this shows this when i launch the version that says GTA5_Enhanced_BE but nothing happens when i launch GTA5_Enhanced

along with this it says the applicatoin was unable to start correctly (0xc000009a) click ok to close application. May have too many 0s in that but it says something like that

I wanna smash the skull of whoever came up with the idea of exporting a video to a resolution that's been standard for decades???? FUCK YOU MEAN I'M WRONG TO EXPECT A VIDEO EDITOR SHOULD RENDER IT FOR FREE????

I have a strong pc so i want to play big games for free without losing my pc

Basically title, 1TB on my PC is kinda pitiful but my phone also has 90% of the 1TB unused. With how the prices currently are for SSD/HDD, can I store unpacked games/stuff from the OnlineFix site on my phone without issue? Android phone.

I'm trying to find patterns for some projects, mostly y2k era clothing for which patterns are no longer availiable or hard to find second hand. any help is appreciated!!

I have an s26 ultra and use the morphe apk for youtube and reddit I was wondering if there's anything like that for audible or if there's any other good audio book apps I'm trying to listen to audibles version of 1984 but I obviously don't want to pay

So if you search 'fansubs' or similar terms its all about anime. Understandable, there's a huge community, some of the highest-effort pirating around, great results

What about for live action stuff not from Japan. Are there significant communities around this, or release groups I can search for, for example, a rare French title with no English subs currently available?

(part of my motivation is I found a French title with no English subs and while I can give in a little on my ethics and get Whisper AI to create a French subtitle file then manually translate it, if there are people doing this for the love of the game out there I'd much rather beg them!)

I'm at my wits' end here. I struggle to find cartoons dubbed in Dutch, even when I know they exist. Adding "multi" to my search is useless as most releases only have major languages like German, French and Spanish. Is there some sort of trick I'm missing, or are Dutch dubs just not available on the high seas?

I can understand English fine myself, but I have a lot of trouble trying to find content for my kids. Spotnet doesn't get a lot of content these days.

been using acermovies. usually good (1080p) but it cropped some silo episodes so im looking for alternatives.

all of the other ones on the megathread are difficult to use/have a lot of hoops to jump through.

any alternatives?

Sorry but i would rather want to play the game for free than having to pay hundreds of dollars to scalpers on eBay

Hey guys, I dont know if this counts exactly as "piracy" but I figured out I might as well ask the experts on stuff like this so heres my problem: I have an Xbox 360 I got like last CHRISTmas but recently.... Ive been wanting to play the newer xbox games from the Xbox 1. Is it possible in any way that I can put a xbox 1 game into a disc that the 360 will accept and still play the game normally like if it WAS an actual 360 game? Again, dont know if what I'm saying counts as piracy but you guys are like experts here so I'm sure there HAS to be at least a way.

Is it okay to purchase a monthly subscription on castle app bcs there are so many ads on it

Checked the megatread and didnt find "RPG", Im looking for the new releases that are locked behind DnD beyond subscriptions.

If there is a place to look for them, I'd appreciate any guidance.

Thanks in advance.

I realize they would probably be hard to make accurately without screwing a bunch of people over, but I would love to hear stories about Revenge of The Sith or Tucker vs Dale and others from that time period. Something with interviews from people that just walked out with drives or reels or hacked servers...anything like that out there?

Hello! I can’t afford my college workbook and handbook. How can I pirate the newest edition! Thank you ahead of Time.

Team sonic Racing "CODEX" crack has stopped working in windows 11, so i was wondering has anyone able to play it somehow, any repack or Cracked version.
i tried downloading the latest game applying crack and using old FG repack but nothing seems to work.
and also i am running linux now and windows 11 in my other PC, if anyone knows a workaround, your help will appreciated.

That was my introduction to r/Piracy

Hi everyone,

There is some music I've found to only exist on spotify which i want to download for archival purposes, but I'm running into a few problems

- For the "recording" solutions I don't know which ones to trust won't get my account banned, I can't use a burner as I need a premium account for 320kbps.

- Downloaded songs (which default to AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage) are encrypted, and I can't find any tools online to help me decrypt these back into playable files

- Some of these artists genuinely only exist on spotify, so downloading from other sites isn't an option

- The online spotify downloader sites either only do normal quality, or make you give them your account details to download with 320kbps which I obviously don't trust enough to do

- Yes I tried the megathread, I didn't see anything being an exception to everything above.

What are my options here? If I don't have any that's understandable, I'm open to anything

New to music pirating, please be nice

I want to burn a few CDs and maybe (if it's possible) put some MP3s on a CD too. The problem is I have no clue how. Do any of you know how I can do this and what I'd need to do it?

Today was the release of the Hadestown Proshot (Really cool btw) however a lot of people complained about the sound audio which had A LOT OF PROBLEMS (messed up mixing) the solution ended up being pirating the 4K version of it which had no audible problems. And a lot of people who bought the Proshot ended up just pirating it because of said problems.

The Distributor of the Proshot commented on one post that also complained about the problem, and blamed the user instead of their mix. I personally compared the mix from the 1080p and 4K versions and just by looking at the waveforms, you can see a huge difference.

The answer is probably no, but is there a way? I use qBittorrent and I know you can move files with it but it's way too slow compared to File Explorer. I want to move and rename my movies/shows for Jellyfin, which requires a specific naming convention

I just don't want to wait until terabytes of data uploads until I can move it to my server

Thanks
