Boy, I remember how desperate all of Germany was when kino.to went down. It took at least a week until everyone found an alternative!
Cruel and Unusual punishment
It was the goto streaming site back then. We all learned out lesson once it was down. I looked it up and it was online from 2008 to 2011, feels longer for me but I was torrenting alot before that. German law is strict on torrenting so streaming is the way to go here.
VPN with proper config don't cut it?
I heard german law being clown but they still have to prove the "crime"
Sure, there are ways but I honestly don't see the benefit now that streaming is fast. I want to watch a movie or series once and don't need to own it, especially since I can restream it or download it from the streaming site
