here's a basic guide to piracy.

Step 1: be old enough to remember usenet/IRC

Step 2: if not old enough to remember those things, download limewire and download a bunch of stuff

Step 3: after tiring of infecting your PC with countless viruses, move over to torrenting

Step 4: after your 3rd cease and desist letter from HBO and Disney, start researching VPNs

Step 5: VPN and public trackers until your data hoarding addiction has led you to run out of things to pirate

Step 6: Start researching usenet

Edit: fmhy.net is one I recommend.
