by pysical media i mean like small manulas, zines, iso’s, retro things like games or movies. please only list legal ones im looking for stuff to cure my horrible bordom with that i can either back up on a dvd that is less than 4gb becasue well, dvd or i can print or collect. i might be becomeing a media horder slowly but im not sure yet.
is internet archive legal, if it is feel free to link something to it but keep things legal please.
would it just be better to keep things all digital compared to burning or printing stuff also it would help if it dosent requir emuch paper whe printing becasue im kinda low on paper at the moment and i hate wasting things.
i also use windows and have some dvd player aswell along with a printer.
well im kinda odd and i am afraid to go to jail and i would rather support some of the groups that made there hard work rathe rthan steal it, also im a young adult with autism and my family members dont see a reason to get a vpn and they want me to not do piracy.
if that answers your questions…?
Absolutely. Thank you for answering!
I support your decisions think it’s wonderful to help reward the people who create content for us to enjoy :)
thanks for understanding, also i hope things go well.
i would probrably pirate if my family atually knew what modent vpn’s are for (there kinda old) but no supporting people is better.
Well until then, there should be plenty of free stuff to enjoy and preserve should you want to. Have you looked for fan fiction stories based on movies, tv shows, anime, or games you enjoy? A lot of people have made free stories about all sorts of characters and ideas. You might find something interesting if you search “[title] fan fiction.”
There are also really cool fan made movies for free here - https://fanmoviewatch.com/
https://itch.io/games/free currently has 752,567 free games to download and play
You can pirate without a VPN by the way :) There are other ways to pirate other than torrents.
like what?
Streaming and direct downloading (DDL). Neither of these will get you in trouble with your ISP
After typing a long answer and failing to post, I’ll make it short the second time around. Direct downloads are mostly fine, avoid uploading since that’s what they mostly care about. Torrenting is uploading too so not safe of you’re in a country that tries to scare you off with letters and whatnot.
Stay away from actual illegal stuff. Even if you’re not sharing and just downloading, openly snagging books on making bombs for example will attract attention. Governments usually won’t care if you snag a movie or a game, but they will care for an up and coming terrorist.
Direct downloads is one thing. In general, anything you don’t upload with. ISPs carw about uploading a whole lot more than downloading stuff. Of course, stay away from actual illegal stuff even if just downloading. IE, don’t download manuals on how to build bombs openly, I suppose, or other stuff I probably shouldn’t even mention according to the rules. Just use common sense. They might not hunt you down for snagging a movie or a game, but some things governments can’t just ignore.
