It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

or even pseudo-incriminated for attempting to maintain our own life.

It seems so stupid that I'm like a suspect for wanting an exchange of information without dropping my pants and bending over. No, I don't want cookies. Yes I want to read the article but no, I don't want to "sign up."

It makes me feel like being a f*cking hermit. But I prefer to pirate. Even though I'm not that good at it. Screw them. I got two private trackers, a VPN, and I hope that's enough.

By not torrenting. Use Usenet instead. Way safer and easier. Once I went Usenet I literally haven’t touched a single torrent in over a decade.

Newsgroups.
Basically (Its all afaik) bulletin boards and meant for groups juat chatting like we do here on reddit/lemmy.
But they also host binaries that (when put together) equal a movie file. Kinda like a multi-rar file.
Thwy usually have deals around black friday.

I'll be the first to preach Usenet for movies and shows, but I'm wondering if you've found it useful for gaming/ music.

I haven't tried it for gaming or music. Like always, piracy is a service problem. Spotify and Steam have solved the service problem so I pay for those. Haven't felt like pirating in a game in 14 years due to it, and spotify literally has every song I could ever want to listen to on the planet.
