It's ridiculously easy to pirate media in this day and age. And, to remain safe while doing so. I haven't bought a game, payed for a streaming service, payed for youtube premium, or subscribed to Spotify in years.
Piracy is one of the easiest things to understand, and if you don't know piracy, you're digitally illiterate. The "pirate" community is one of the most prolific corners of the Internet, and extremely helpful.
People's common excuses against it is: "Muh immoral", "It's stealing saaar!!!", "B-b-but the devs!!" who cares. There's a universal truth regarding digital purchases: people will never stop buying media. Some are just too low-IQ to comprehend basic digital hygiene, and are afraid of LE and/or malware. The truth is, the virus risk associated with piracy is greatly exaggerated, and pushed by corporations to fear monger.
The piracy mega thread on reddit has everything you need to know, and the community is ok. Pirates in general are pretty chill, but redditers are known to be insufferable, so proceed with asking questions on that subreddit at your own discretion. But alas, the mega thread is regularly checked to ensure safe links/resources for all your piracy needs.

Anyways just some pointers: always use Tor/VPN when pirating. Some ISPs are cucky and will send a threatening letter, so to avoid, just use the aforementioned. You can get a free & reliable no-log, Swiss-based VPN here: https://protonvpn.com/. Use an adblocker when visiting websites; for this i recommended uBlock orgin + firefox. And, make sure to turn off all telemetry in settings. Always DYOR when it comes to links. Yes, the mega threads links are all regularly verified, but it takes two seconds to check a thread asking "Is XYZ still safe?". And, use Bitdefender to check for any potential malware risks after a download, but always make sure to check if they're false-flags.
But if you have aura like me you just raw dog it with no care. I send videos of myself streaming pirated media to my ISP to assert dominance, like a boss
