But Netflix doesn't ever have what I want to watch anymore. Now those movies are scattered across half a dozen other services that each cost $15/month. It's a pain to figure out what's streaming where and if it will cost me anything extra on top of my monthly dues. As Gabe Newell said, it's a service problem.

Piracy gets you more centralized access to more content for free. If you're behind a VPN or use a private tracker (or both) it's safe. So why spend all my money on Netflix and Hulu and Prime and Disney and Max and whatever else just to have a fifty/fifty chance that one of them might be streaming the movie I want to watch?

For someone hasn't pirated since Limewire was a thing can you walk me through the best way to do so?

Sucks about Willow my wife liked that movie and I had Carter queue to watch. Now can't watch it.

So any help I have already gone back to physical dvds but I like to access and make copies of digital stuff as well.

Get a VPN and qBittorrent and visit 1337x.to. That should do for 85-90% of what you are looking for.
