Piracy is now easier than ever when you use torrent streaming clients.
Usenet is even easier with more reliable quality. Strong recommend.
Most don't like usenet since it cost money, but you're absolutely right, usenet is the best way. It's what I've been using for over a decade now lol
For the cost of one streaming subscription I've got all content, downloads at full speed and is private. Can't imagine life without Usenet and sonarr/radarr now
I need a tutorial on this
Get yourself a nice newsgroup, and an nzb indexer(search site for newsgroups) . Install nzbget, sonarr and radarr and Google for the parts you get stuck on.
I recommend a 2nd newsgroup subscription at a different place, because (in layman's terms) to appease the dmca strikes they delete a single file of the download, and chances are a different server deleted a different file, so your downloads are complete enough to parse the rest together.
Sounds mildly wonky and technical, my curiosity is piqued.
It takes a little more fiddling than torrents but is anything but wonky.
Can this be traced by the police or other state agencies? Or is this truly anonymous?

The nuts and bolts should be the same. I imagine his recommendations on what backbones and newsgroups to subscribe to are out of date, though.
