    “Fellow pirates” that’s the most suspicious ass thing you could possibly say here

        Well, since it is just a an organised frontend for a multiple HLS streaming sources, I wouldn’t worry about my IP leaking (it’s not P2P).

        Your ISP can only see the domains which you are connecting to, not the content that is transferred (cuz https).

        If you are still paranoid, just route it through tor! It’s just a website after all. (ik it’s slow but it works!)

          Except it’s often not your ISP going after you, and https does not protect against everything. A few years ago there was a scandal in Germany when a moneygrubbing law firm took out ads on a porn site to get user IPs and the referer header, then sent demands to users for illegally downloading copyrighted material.

          A court initially rubber-stamped the requests for IP info from the law firm.

          A better judge/court clarified the law (streaming is fine in Germany) in that case and there were hopefully consequences for the law firm and the lawyers involved, but some suckers paid hush money first.

        That is nonsense.

        At least in the US, no one has ever been charged for using (implicitly non-p2p) streaming sites. People are charged for distribution - that is, the upload portion of p2p. Just viewing stuff in your browser is perfectly safe without a VPN.

          Right, the concern is that is true until it isn’t safe. Someone is going to be the first to be charged.

    My main suggestion is to make your pirate searches using Yandex. Most book names “pdf” will give a result. You can also filter to only show sites of a specific language.

        If you have ever heard of IRC it uses that network to directly send files to you. Basically you need an IRC client then you message a bot for the file(s) you want it to send to you. There are xdcc search engines like sunxdcc and you can usually find books, audio, anime, etc.

      Oooh so it’s my first time hearing and after looking it up, WHY AREN’T PEOPLE USING IT? Like why pay for a VPN, when you have stuff like this? What are the limiting factors for XDCC?

    For Manga/Comics/Webtoons/Etc.:
    Tachidesk on desktop
    Tachiyomi on mobile.
    These are both fantastic and allow you to grab manga, comics, etc. from pretty much every site you can think of to have it all in one place.

    For Movies/TV/Anime:
    Kodi + Debrid + Arctic Horizon 2/TMDbHelper + Fen + Otaku (resources: 1, 2; screenshots: album)
    I love this. I can watch literally anything I want as if it was a netflix-like service, and don’t have to use a VPN. Can even throw this on a shield/chromecast/firestick.

    edit: tachidesk doesn’t have a fit-to-page feature, but you can just use stylus with this:
    img{
    height:100vh !important; /* fit height of screen */
    min-width:0 !important; /* also needed for fit height */
    }
    edit 2: Also, not really piracy per se, but Syncplay is great for watching downloaded content with friends.

    You know I just thought about sharing my entire piracy bookmark folder (while excluding some subfolders and/or sites) on Brave Android, is there any way to do so?
