Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand

The kids' guide to piracy 24 Jul 2026 Hey kids! Have you heard of piracy but don’t know how to do it cos you grew up while streaming worked okay? Well this is the guide for you! DISCLAIMER: It is only my intent that the advice offered here be used to download media that is in the public domain. While it’s true that the advice here could be employed to download recent movies and TV shows that are under copyright, and that that is its primary application, it’s cerrrtainnnly not my intention that you use it for such purposes. You wouldn’t want to deprive a media megacorp CEO of his second yacht would you?!?! ALSO KIND OF A DISCLAIMER I GUESS: I’ll be describing how to do this on a personal computer of some sort (that includes laptops (that includes your macintosh-books and so on)).

Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Friendo.
