A guide to pirating, with complete beginners in mind.
A guide to pirating, with complete beginners in mind.
Disclaimer, this guide is not 100% comprehensive. Just a record of the tools, websites, and methods I personally use or know of. Conduct your own research and stay safe. Yes, it's a bit of reading, but having everything in one place is signficantly easier than gaining the knowledge in bits and pieces over the course of years, as I did.

## 1. Protect Yourself
As I'm sure you're aware, digital piracy of copyrighted material is illegal, to varying degree depending on where you live. I would highly recommend reading up on copyright enforcement in your country. But generally speaking, so long as you only intend to download and not upload content, you'll be golden.

### Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
From Wikipedia:
> [A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network)
But that's a little technical for some people. What you need to know, is that a VPN can protect your location and identity from sites and tools you use, by changing your IP Address. While it sounds like a godsend, it's crucial to remember that there is no such thing as complete anonymity on the internet. Because your VPN provider can still see your dada, a VPN is only as secure as it's provider is trustworthy. However despite it's insecurities, VPNs can still be helpful and even necessary in specific situations. Namely while torrenting, but more on that in the torrenting section. Please review [this information](https://www.privacytools.io/providers/vpn/#info) about VPNs before purchasing one or discounting them altogether.
If you decide a VPN would be useful for you, please purchase one. Free VPN providers are significantly more likely to dishonor no-log policies and sell your data. Refer to That One Privacy Guy's [VPN comparison chart.](https://thatoneprivacysite.net/#simle-vpn-comparison) when choosing one.
