I cannot stand piracy, but my computer recently escaped its containment and started downloading all these movies and TV shows that I like to watch. Does anyone know how to stop this behavior? So far I've tried nothing

Tell it to download things you don't like, too! That's the best way to stop it.

Keep doing nothing, eventually it will work itself out after it's gotten all the items it wants. You're good.
