Im honestly scared to get into pirating but some things are just way too overpriced. i know theres the piract bay and such sites but it requires torrecting and a vpn but i cant afford a vpn so is there like a direct downloads version of the pirete bay or a safer alternative? im looking to get a few peices of media by the way.

also how do you all store so much media without issues or getting into trouble? also am i aksing the wrong place by chance?

i know there is internet archive but i find it hard to find what you are looking for and kinda clunky.

It depends what you are looking for. NES Roms? You can use Internet Archive and a download manager. Some romance playlist you made on Spotify and now want to burn on a CD? You can use a converter that will fetch MP3 files from YouTube.

The megathread is the place to look.

You may want to look into Usenet. There is a price involved but it's not significantly more than a VPN.

To store stuff I use large hard drives. Most of my data is on one other device so those drives act as a back up in a way. It's unlikely both devices fail at the same time

Books are pretty easy for direct downloads. Try these: https://libgen.is/ https://annas-archive.org/
