Having traveled the Seven Seas of this here internet and lived to tell the tale of many a plundering, I have been requested, nay, offered with the chance to teach my pirate ways to ye land-lubbers.
Get yer boat ready
Bittorrent is your primary source of good booty. Download uTorrent . This program will allow you to go to thepiratebay.org and search for... well, whatever you pirate heart desires. Other pirates are very generous and trade good constantly. So, you need the torrent application (uTorrent) and you search for your downloads at thepiratebay.org. Simple enough. Torrents work like this: The more you share, the more people share. You can't really use the internet well while uTorrent is running (it really sucks the bandwidth), so just open it up and let it run when you go to bed, and in the morning you'll have the first complete season of 90120 ready for your viewing pleasure.
This means you need a few programs in order to keep a step ahead of the Eastern Trading Company (your ISP). Peerguardian is it. It keeps the sniffing dogs in their kenels and out of your headwind. Run this program with your uTorrent and you'll be riding high.
A wee bit'O Pirating
There are of course other ways (less complicated, but less rewarding) of being a pirate as well. Along side youtube, there are numerous video hosting sites out there. You don't have to necessarily FIND these sites (as they are impossible to navigate due to the sites being in China). You can simply find the sites that find the links you want within those sites. For example:
www.watch-movies.net is a great site with a large selection and multiple links to each movie (some work better than others).
movie6.net This one is decent
www14.alluc.org This one is really good for TV shows.
The best part of these sites is that you aren't downloading anything, it's streaming to your computer. It is like your local DI or Goodwill when they bring the bins in, sometimes you find a real gem of a upload (DVD quality with a good stream). Sometimes it's a hand held camera... and sometimes you don't care what it is, you're just bored and so you watch it anyway.
Getting Sent to the Gallows
I know what you're thinking, isn't this dangerous and can't I get caught? It's not as dangerous as you think, and theoretically you can get caught. But the Eastern Trading Company is using a harpoon to catch fish... it only works well on whales. As long as you're a small fish the chances of you getting hit by that harpoon are VERY small. Also, they're going after the pirates that are distributing their goods, not collecting.
The Pirates Code
1. I already paid for it the first time I watched it.
2. If I haven't paid for it, and I watch it and I liked it, I will rent it or see it in theaters a second time.
3. If I haven't paid for it, and I watched it and I hated it, I won't pay for it to ensure that the makers of these movies don't make any money from me to slow the progress of bad movie making.
Thanks for reading and enjoy the internet. It's distribution powers are here to set us free from the tyranny of Imperial Distributers.
