Anyone using torrents is a bad pirate 😂

Edit: after Kazaa etc torrents became big, but the true way to pirate is usenet.

Good pirate = Gets the stuff with minimum effort and acceptable risk

Insane amount of malware and viruses, plus you're constantly uploading which is what cops are looking for. Usenet is the way to go. With Sonarr en Radarr for automation for downloading movies and series. Paying for usenet means paying for privacy. No uploading, infinite availability, even of rare to find stuff. There are many communities. Sure, usenet is best if you pay for it, but often you get free VPN with it. So basically you get usenet and VPN for the same price as what you would pay for VPN alone.

Which indexers are you subscribed to? Using Geek and Ninja currently and have not run into many issues outside music availability being quite sparse
