Hello all,
I’m a huge amateur when it comes to this stuff (I had a guy hold my hand on the phone and walk me through this) but I use Newsgroupdirect and buy blocks when they go on sale.
Is there a better group to do this from (or cheaper). I’m happy here but I saw an article that had some different places listed and it got me thinking.
Which group do you use?

Paying for piracy is pointless and stupid. Piracy means free and solid access to content and paying for it means the complete subversion of that. 👎 👎
For that I would be better by just paying for some stupid streaming service and having something more convenient / not having to deal with anything.
Long live torrents.
Don’t know why everyone is shitting on you. You raise a good point. When did piracy become something you pay for?
Do you have a beefier internet connection than you would have without pirating?
Is the same true for a NAS/HDD?
Are you 14?
Are you 12?
Nope. I’m asking because your writing pattern and general stance is extremely juvenile. So I’m wonderimg if you’re a child or not.
Nope, not a child. I just don’t care specially when it comes to certain topics, or my English is actually bad.
But seriously, why would we pay for piracy by financing greedy VPN companies when you can get 98% of the security for free by using a good private tracker + requiring encryption?
For many of us, paying for these services are more convenient that putting up with the bullshit of services like Netflix and Amazon etc… There are so many streaming sites now that it really isn’t convenient anymore.
But yes; Just like there are greedy streaming services there are greedy VPN providers. So folks should keep up-to-date on who to choose. (If you ask me, stick with either Mullvad, IVPN or Proton VPN. I’ve done a lot of research and still am on the landscape of VPNs for my master thesis, and it’s a pretty nasty corner of the internt…)
Piracy isn’t purely about getting things for free, it’s about convince and preserving digital media too.
Piracy isn’t purely about getting things for free, it’s about convince and preserving digital media too.
I agree with you when when it comes to preservation and sometimes even quality. But when it comes to convince nothing beats Netflix.
They certainly convinced me to stop using the account I was password sharing off of and dusting off the old hat and peg leg.
I used to pay for a VPN and torrent everything but I’ll be honest, $ for $ it costs the same or less AND there is way more selection. I’m ok to pay a little for a better service. I don’t have to figure out what’s streaming on what and I get high quality tv and movies for pennies on the dollar. Even if I went the “free” route I still have to pay for a vpn
I won’t pay for piracy and that includes a pointless piece of shit VPN that won’t protect you anyways if things get serious.
I imagine it must be nice living in a place where your government doesn’t care. Enjoy your free torrents. I’m ok with a few bucks here and there
C’mon you’ve plenty of private trackers you can join with an invite from someone else and nobody will easily track you like they can do in public torrents.
I’m kinda over this conversation. I posted asking for input, not someone being argumentative. If you had a stronger argument, maybe I’d change my ways and look into what you’re saying. I politely tried to say I hear you, but I’m good with what I do and you keep digging. At no point have you said anything that makes a strong case, helpful to what I asked or isn’t dismissive. Have a good night
