If you're anywhere, go to this neat website called Pirate Bay, and they have almost every movie ever, completely for free -- no ads, and it's yours as long as you want to keep it.

If you want to be safe, also sign up for a VPN, so your ISP doesn't snoop on you downloading things (looking at you, Comcast). But a decent VPN is like $5-10 per year.

I'm a stream pirate, since all I've *only ever heard is to never download anything. Isn't there tons of risk with downloading content?

The risk tends to be hugely overblown.

1: Use a VPN so your ISP can't tattle on you for downloading things.

2: Virus scan stuff you download before opening/running it.

3: Keep good backups (you should be doing this anyway) so you can restore from backup if some kind of virus/malware manages to evade your virus scan.

Do those three things, and the risk of downloading pirated shit will be incredibly low. (And streaming isn't zero-risk, either. The streaming apps or the streaming files themselves could theoretically be compromised, after all.)

proton is free

edit: the free tier doesn't give them much anyway so you can still complain about their CEO
