I wrote this post for a friend, I’m sharing it here for anybody it might help. I got asked multiple times how I download cracked music software so I figured it’d be easier to write it down once. It’s meant for people with very low technical skills who just want to start torrenting software without major risks, and it includes a bunch of safety tips that are already known in this community.

If you have feedback, let me know and I’ll update the post.

    I mean, PIA is like 40 bucks for an entire year. You’re not gonna find any prominent streaming service, pro-grade subscription software, or pro-grade software license that’s as cheap as that.

    If the goal is to access all desired software and media safely while paying as little as possible, it’s a great choice.

      Windscribe at $3 per month is slightly cheaper and less dodgy than PIA. I left PIA for Mullvad when Kape bought them. They’re very questionable based on my (then) research.
