The Piracy Megathread

Summary

A focused, balanced primer on digital piracy: what it is, why people do it, harms and impacts, legal/ethical issues, and practical alternatives. Never turn off your ad-blocker

1. Never turn off your ad-blocker. Pirate sites survive on pop-unders. The Megathread sites will still have ads; the Megathread just ensures those ads aren't laced with drive-by downloads.
2. The VPN debate. If you live in Germany, the US, or the UK, your ISP monitors torrent traffic. The Megathread heavily promotes "binding" your VPN to your torrent client (qBittorrent). If the VPN drops, the download stops.
3. Ignore "Download Now" buttons. The Megathread leads you to the index. When you get to a site like 1337x, you will see 3 fake "Download" buttons for every 1 real magnet link. Reading the Megathread's "FAQ" section teaches you how to spot the real link (usually a magnet icon or a torrent file).
