What is considered the best/safest way to pirate printed magazines? On the Awesome Piracy-repo, there are some links, but they either don't work or look sus (except for maybe magazinelib.com).

If you endulge in free printed magazines, what is your preferred way?

Thanks for the tip! I've always found Usenet to look too complicated with too high a cost for my rather limited use. But I keep seeing it recommended, so maybe I should give it a go at some point.

I haven't really looked into the availability magazines, but a block account (rather than a subscription) would probably last you ages, since I assume the size of each issue would be rather small. So that would be a small onetime payment.

As for indexer I guess it depends on what you need, but there are some with free tiers.

As for complicated I don't think Usenet is any more difficult than other methods. At least for movies/series it's a one time setup to automate everything and then it is extremely convenient.
