Just wait until you find out about news groups 🤯
Spill the tea I want the open secrets
I guess he’s talking about the Usenet, a way to get your warez via direct download from a Usenet provider. This makes it possible to pirate legally with blazing fast speed (like 5 to 10 min for 4k movies) and with the right Indexers, you can find any release existing in predb 😎
Legally? 🤔
Or do you mean to say that a VPN isn't strictly required?
Not legally, but I never use a VPN for newsgroup downloads.
Yes, downloading aka receiving copyright protected stuff is not illegal in my country, only the act of sharing aka uploading copyright protected stuff in order that it is available for other people, is illegal. You are even allowed to share copyright protected stuff with your "close circle of friends" And that is why we don’t need a vpn to download from the usenet
