I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    Other than the recent nonsense, this is why I cancelled Netflix and went back to pirating. Content leaves unexpectedly? Not on my Nas.

      Old school pirating or new school? Last time I remember pirates was like… Napster, Limewire, Kazaa… Then went to TPB before it got raided like 8 times… What’s the current? Is it still torrenting with proxies?

        I just got my automated pirating machine set up!

        Here’s the wiki for the *arr apps!

        • Radarr for movies
        • Sonarr for TV shows
        • Prowlarr for index management
        • Optional Doplarr Discord Bot for requests

        Set up your profiles for Radarr/Sonarr to pick the quality of release you want (1080p, min/max file size, etc)

        Feed Radarr/Sonarr your qbittorrent info, nzbget & Usenet info

        They will automatically search the indexes (I use 1337x for torrents & nzbgeek for Usenet) for the files that fit your parameters, download it, and organize it.

        All you have to do is point Plex at the output folders and BAM, automated pirating.

        I even took it a step further and set up Doplarr - a Discord bot that handles requests. Now friends/family can ping the bot with their movie/show requests and it’ll sync up to Radarr/Sonarr and add their requests!

        Oh, the high seas are very, very busy these days. Still a bit difficult for the non technical user, but there is buried treasure out there.

      I’ve taken to de-DRMing any e-books I bought from Amazon for that reason.

      Also, the “You can only view this book on 3 devices” – yeah … fuck off.

      Calibre + DeDRM plugin + KFX plugin. Perfectly legal too, as long as you aren’t distributing them.
