Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I'm off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here's the proof.

Can you point me in the right direction of where to start? My last adventures of file sharing ended with Napster and Limewire.

Well theoretically...

  1. get a vpn

  2. deluge (others will pile in with apps no doubt)

  3. go to https://privacysavvy.com/security/torrents/best-torrent-sites/

Once you get your feet back under yourself, you can start looking at usenet and such

Oh wow Usenet is still a good spot? That brings back good memories of sailing the seas.

Right Usenet and IRC all memory lane. Lol.

I agree with this guy.

Look into usenet, sabnzbd (or nzbget) and the ***arr programs.

Cost you a max $10/month, depending on how serious you are at hoarding, and how far back you want to go.

If I were to do such a thing I would find myself quite happily served by the above without the need for a usenet acct, but of course this is an entirely theoretical discussion from the comfort of armchairs so reality may differ for various parties puffs pipe
