Unfortunately the buy in to start pirating is more expensive these days. You need a decent computer, decent internet, gotta pay for a vpn because the free ones don’t really work. It’s almost not worth the trouble.
pirating video is as easy as visiting one of the dozens of streaming sites with a device capable of running a browser that can play video and run an adblocker.
If you weren’t aware your isp tracks your download usage and can tell when you’re pirating. They aren’t stupid.
Streaming video from a site is not downloading, your ISP can't do shit about it, that's how everyone I know from the US pirates shows and movies
they can tell im watching video, but the connection is over https, they can't tell im watching episode one of star trek or whatever. unless they're doing a mtm on all their customers to intercept SSL certs for the express purpose of traffic snooping.
ive been doing this for years on an ISP that has previously sent us a nasty note about piracy when someone did a torrent, so I think i'm probably ok man.
It's definitely not. You can pirate things on nearly any running home computer. You can find an app like Flud and do it on your Android. You can pay like 8 bucks a month for a seedbox and just copy the file to where you want it after.
If you just want to save some money over subscriptions, but not keep the files, you can setup something like real debrid and stremio for around 15 dollars every 6 months.
You should use a paid VPN but they're all far cheaper than any of the subscription services you'd stop paying for by doing this. (That I know of)
(USD)
Just don't use a VPN company that pays people to spread misinformation on YouTube.
A raspberry pi is enough, no need for a VPN and even if you want one, it can be as cheap as 3€ a month.
Share your knowledge on how to use a Pi never heard of that method.
if you want to go the SBC route there's other options aside from Pis you might want to check out. Cheaper and more suitable systems that are easier to get ahold of. If you're looking to get into it I'd look at LibreElec and Kodi with a Seren plugin setup that pulls from a Debrid service like RealDebrid. debrid removes the need for a vpn and is usually cheaper and faster.
