This is a bad time to be a pirate, DMCA requests via IP address to your ISP, taking down sites that allow you to download movies. Paying for a VPN connection to hide your IP you might as well pay for Netflix and other movie streamers and wait for the movie to make it there.

> might as well pay for Netflix

Strange suggestion. At least it is now available where I am but it doesn't sell anything I want.

I am sad to see YIFY go. They produced quality products.

of course, people may pay for VPNs for other reasons too and just see the piracy opsec thing as a bonus.
