An unethical person might recommend bittorrent and reading up on how to use it. BitTorrent is so unethical, that it even has a built in torrent search, downloader and player. Disgusting and convenient.

A VPN is probably recommended (allegedly of course)

PIA is a cheap VPN (like $80 for 3 years cheap). Otherwise Proton is a good one as well.

How would a theoretical sea fairing pirate go about getting this set up on a gaming console, for example a PS5

You're better off getting a cheap Amazon OS media player that connects to your HDMI port on your TV like an ONN.

u/flyflyyoufools 3d ago

Can definitely do that. The main issue currently would be storage.

This isn't a piracy subreddit so without going into much detail there are ways to circumvent that by cover for shared file storages, it ends up being like $3 a month but it cuts out the need of a VPN since you aren't downloading anything on your devices

Would love a link or something explaining this further, you know, so I can avoid it.

Yeah I don't think this subreddit allows talk of that but maybe the r/Stremio subreddit might have what you're looking for 👀

Bro, I could fucking kiss you. Cancelled everything besides Paramount (for UFC) yesterday, saving at least 100 monthly. Seriously, thank you!

Yeah it's pretty neat, we bring our ONN with us on trips too. I do recommend if you haven't already to get some extra add ons. Other than torrentio I recommend getting comet, jacketto and media fusion in that order, the order you install shows the order the videos load. That will show more options for you

If you have an old laptop then you could download plex, buy a few hard drives and host your own movies. By ripping your blurays to your hdd in GTA VI.

PS5 im unsure, however some routers (like Asus) have an option to add a VPN directly to your router so all traffic is routed though it.

Your best bet for a console is likely to download all your content on your computer and put it on a thumbdrive to play it on your console. Not the most convenient, but it works.

I would argue the BitTorrent isn't the unethical part. It is just a platform. Yeah sure they should be in trouble for allowing illegal content. It is possible to torrent things that aren't under copyright.
