Not really beginner friendly because it doesn’t teach you much but the site has a nice list of resources that goes even boyond piracy: https://fmhy.net/beginners-guide
No. Most sites don’t offer their own ways to download videos.
If you want to save videos, you can always use a browser addon. I use VideoDownloadHelper for Firefox and it allows me to download any video, even on Linux.
Yes I’m aware of that, I assumed that a site recommended on here would have that as a main feature otherwise it’s not much use for archiving. I already tried yt-dlp and it doesn’t seem to be supported.

“Oh, I download it from well known and respected torrent sites. All the services I might use are crap.”
It’s on Plex on my Synology ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The Pirate Bay - free streaming service
Its pretty outdated these days
In what way? I use it from time to time to get movies and series. Is there any downside compared to other methods?
Genuine question, I’m not too familiar with the pirate world beyond pirate bay.
It just doesn’t have that many files anymore, since not that many people use it. 1337x.to is more popular now
Jellyfin!
“Channel BitTorrent” is my reply
BitTorrent+
If someone is unaware of piracy: Tell them.
If someone is aware of piracy and doesn’t care: “I don’t really know, I just got it off of a torrent site.”
If someone is aware of piracy and cares too much for a company they don’t work for: You can ignore them.
Do you know of any easily shareable beginner’s guides?
I love turning friends onto free media, but I don’t always want to walk them through it.
fmhy.pages.dev/beginners-guide/
fmhy.net also hosts the same guides I believe

If you can’t proudly say your pirating sure you need to find a new friend group
Well they said “co-worker”, I can understand not divulging that in a workplace.
Eh fuck it, what are they going to do, call the FBI on me? Employer certainly doesn’t care.
Highly dependent on workplace. Many with govt contracts could feel an obligation to punish this.
My employer is the government
My da has a mate who’s literally a peeler and was showing him his piracy set-up. His mate was also talking about his.
Plot twist: dude works at Disneyflix :D
“An ex-Netflix engineer’s take on piracy; in a YouTube drama near you”
I’ve never worked an office job that wasn’t pirating software openly and somewhat proudly when pointed out
It’s just that they have no idea how to answer the question
Hi-C’s
Just send them to JustWatch.

There doesn’t seem to be any way of saving videos there, am I missing something?

Thanks for the site, I’d genuinely never heard of this and was looking for something new!
Anytime!

Great, now I’ll never not notice how many brand names are baby sounds

Oh… well then you spelled your made up parody word wrong :/
I did not, it was a dual-reference.
Oh, ok. Whats the other reference too?
