It shouldn’t be needed but if you want extra privacy, you can try torsocks.
Everyone just copied everything from each other. Floppy, then Twilight CDs. Then came the internet and exploring music there was better than sitting around waiting for a song to come on the radio to quickly press record. It was normal when I was young to share, not really an active choice.
Depends on the country. I once got some people in trouble when I passed through Germany because I didn’t know internet is heavily censored/surveilled there. Haven’t had trouble anywhere else though. Do some research on your country.
The biggest threats come from the movie industry. Just use streaming sites for movies and series, torrent the other stuff.
Look into Tribler, I2P and Utopia.
On streaming sites (Fmoviesz), some mirrors have a download button. You can also use the Video Downloadhelper plugin for Firefox.
The Netherlands had a tax on blank CDs to “compensate” authors, essentially legalizing piracy (until the EU changed the rules).
The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.
This is not piracy. We’ve always been allowed to record e.g. radio and TV for personal use.
FYI It seems like at least the US government doesn’t want you to go there. So if Fmoviesz is down or something, you should be careful to avoid alternatives such as sflix.to, lookmovie2.to, flixtorz.to, sflix.to, movieuniverse.se, soap2dayto.day.
You can disable right click hijacking with dom.event.contextmenu.enabled in about:config, I don’t think you need an extension for that
Often it’s not that great, but I believe it just needs more users to solve this
That’s what Tribler is for
So if I have games that don’t run, installing Steam should help?
Look for QMMP, a Winamp clone.
It depends on how the video is embedded and which format it is.
It depends on your location whether you need a VPN. I’m good without it. If you want to pay, maybe you can pay for usenet instead.
Maybe, but I’m talking about receiving it. That’s why you have to be careful torrenting (uploading) whereas DDL is no problem
Whether someone spends their personal resources to copy a medium digitally or physically doesn’t really matter to the copyright holder or author. They won’t get paid either way
I don’t know about the first part. Copying isn’t illegal for your own use. Either way, when receiving a copy, you’re not the one doing the actual copying. This was protected by fair use until EU politicians got lobbied into banning it.
But if you get it on VHS or DVD or whatever and sell it, or even give it away, Mr Bob won’t receive his cut and it’s not considered piracy or stealing
I haven’t used it in a while but Aeroinsta was good and probably safe (despite their shady website). Gets rid of unnecessary stuff like ads and allows downloading.
