Why expose yourself to legal risk by torrenting media (which involves uploading which is distributing) when you can find sites that stream it for you? Just go to Yandex and look up “blah stream” and you’ll find tons of sites streaming whatever you want.
I do this because I’ve tried to watch movies with online friends but every major streaming service I tried won’t let me share my screen and stream. They all break somehow. I’m not sure if it’s intentional or what, but it doesn’t matter.
Because streams can be janky and slow. Before I started torrenting, I would try to stream everything. It was hard to find good streams, and even when I thought I had found one, I’d still have shows pause and start stuttering during a critical moment in the story.
I wonder if they actually cut it off. I’ve never tested it. Having a VPN is a good idea just from a privacy standpoint, though. The benefits for torrenting and getting around region locks are just a bonus.
I don’t wanna test it. I’ve heard of folks getting nasty grams from their ISP about it and having like X strikes before getting cut off. What VPN do you use? I’ve been curious to try one.
I believe Iran and other sanction countries would be doing the same? I see no drawbacks
it’s pretty much every country outside of the western hegemony.
any manufacturing city will have markets filled with factory overstock from various brands they produce for. it’s perfectly normal.
copyrights and trademarks do not exist in places where they are not enforced

That’s true, but it’s also free.
Torrents are free, too.
Not without risking your ISP cutting your Internet off. You need a VPN to mitigate that risk.

I think random Russian streaming sites are far more risky but for different reasons
You won’t get your Internet cut off because some copyright holder sends your ISP a complaint.
