Ive thought about torrents but they require a paid vpn from what i know? I dont really want to pay, which is why im thinking about piracy because im not made of money and cant afford a vpn. Im just not sure if its possible to be safe and sail the seven seas all for free?

What would you advise i do? what did you do when starting out?

There's copyright infringement on one click hosters... And a loy of them offer slow, but free downloads. Some newcomers ask a friend to copy a movie from their harddisk or DVD collection... I mean piracy in general is a bit tricky for newcomers. There's some good resources linked in the sidebar... But a lot of piracy isn't exactly legal to do. And it's not really ethical to advise someone to do something that might get them in trouble... And openly recommending things is illegal in some jurisdictions. But yes. Don't do random torrents unless you know what you're doing.
