Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I'm off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here's the proof.

About to see? My friend, we never stopped. Especially now, more people have started to look into self hosting.

I never stopped once I saw that the shit you pay for is not even yours anymore. Unless it’s indie games, I just straight up download the game. Could care less about online gaming. (Thx ftp)

Naw, lots of us stopped when Netflix streaming came in full swing.

Anime was still not big when Netflix came in. Foreign movies were also not available yet either. Programs, music, and all that stuff was still hard to get if it was not distributed by a US company.

Yeah, but I didn’t care about any of that.

Can you point me in the right direction of where to start? My last adventures of file sharing ended with Napster and Limewire.

Well theoretically

  1. get a vpn

  2. deluge (others will pile in with apps no doubt)

  3. go to https://privacysavvy.com/security/torrents/best-torrent-sites/

Once you get your feet back under yourself, you can start looking at usenet and such

I agree with this guy.

Look into usenet, sabnzbd (or nzbget) and the ***arr programs.

Cost you a max $10/month, depending on how serious you are at hoarding, and how far back you want to go.

If I were to do such a thing I would find myself quite happily served by the above without the need for a usenet acct, but of course this is an entirely theoretical discussion from the comfort of armchairs so reality may differ for various parties puffs pipe

You don’t even need a vpn, just pirate the shit

eh, depends on your country. VPNs are worth the arse coverage.

Oh wow Usenet is still a good spot? That brings back good memories of sailing the seas.

Right Usenet and IRC all memory lane. Lol.

This is what I’m talking about. Welcome to the seven seas matey!
