I wouldn’t use a pirate streaming site over torrenting even if I was getting paid to do so lol the releases generally have terrible bitrates and low picture quality, likely because they’re the smallest files the site uploaders could find. They’re convenient if you can’t afford a VPN and don’t care about file quality when it comes to movies and shows, but I prefer being able to select a high quality file with good encoding, quality compression (265, AV1), and known high quality uploaders, like UTR and QxR. That’s only possible through torrenting the file or getting it through Usenet.
Indeed. Latinos and Eastern Europeans have a predilection towards disliking intellectual property laws. And I happen to be an Eastern European living in Latin America.
Well, Pirate Bay is essentially the defacto website someone thinks of when they hear “This person pirates content.” Because of this, game devs, Hollywood execs, etc end up putting out detectable torrents/illegitimate files onto this most popular pirating source.
Mandatory “don’t use piratebay” comment
I haven’t been into the pirating scene for a few years, last time I was active pirate bay was the best. why not use it anymore?

Sure. If you want to torrent from a website that the US government uses as a honeypot.
Or you can join 2023 and use a proper website. Also ditch that Malware called uTorrent and use qBittorrent.

Spud17, moderator of ThePirateBay says you’re wrong.
I say the time of Torents is OVER. Today Streaming-Warez-Sites are the Kick.

What’s wrong with pirate bay? I’ve been using it for years with no problems
Larger % of DMCA tracked stuff than other sites. Set your VPN to a Caribbean country and yo ho ho no worries matey
I guess I win. I already am in the Caribbean. Call me Captain Jack Sparrow I guess.
You’re the worst lunatic I’ve ever heard of
Well, you have heard of me.
And now so have the DMCA goons. Blimey.
What are they gonna do, send a British Navy ship with a letter of marque? Yo ho ho matey

TPB is still moderated. They just had news this year about reopening registrations.
Then don’t download software and games
