You are safe pirating either games or software, if you know what you are doing. Many apps require only a key, so, you just download an official app and find the key for it. Many games has gog versions, which are drm-free, or if it’s a steam version, you download clean steam files and use some steam emulators. That covers 99% of all the games. Game piracy has never been that easy and comfortable like it happens to be nowadays.

There are telegram bots that you can use to download from AM.

This thing is getting too popular, I wonder how long it will be able to last.

Actually, yes, there are a few groups with unique niche content that isn’t available anywhere else.

The worst ever suggestion and unfortunately the most upvoted. Do not ever download music from youtube, free-mp3-download was a front-end for deezer with flacs and 320 kbps mp3 and music on youtube is only about 160 kbps, that’s kinda okay for streaming but absolutely ridiculous if you want to download and keep it.

Have you tried cs.rin.ru?

The one and only

A private tracker that doesn’t exist anymore

Exactly, unfortunately dc is the only place where you can find 32p content.

It is still used. There are lots of various hubs, a bunch of niche hubs with content that is almost impossible to find anywhere else, especially if it’s something really old and obscure, not all of them are public. Speaking of clients, try AirDC++ for instance, thats what I use right now

That’s the question, because as far as I know, the highest ytmusic quality is 256 kbps. I would avoid using it

Oh man, you shouldn’t be using iphone in the first place, the most useless device piracy-wise.

1. spotx - well, I tried, but honestly, I don’t need one more app especially when everything works in the browser. Plus, I prefer portable setups and there’s no portable version of spotx, so, it’s pretty useless for me.
2. It’s explicitly said on the Spowlo GitHub page that they use YouTube for downloading, so, there’s no way to get 320 kbps tracks or flacs. Instead, I’d recommend to try some Qobuz/Deezer-based solutions, there are quite a few of them there. Or use slavart or something like this, or good old soulseek, there’s even an Android client for it.

Well, that’s very specific case to be honest. In that case you can just download whatever you want beforehand, from soulseek, for instance. Generally people make preparations in advance for such things.

I’m sure you were thinking about Eyjafjallajökull.

The ads alone would make me throw off my headset in disgust.

For a mobile, there is a modded apk,I’ve never heard ads there. For a PC, web player in Firefox with uBlock Origin, there are no ads at all there. The same goes for Tidal, I’ve never paid for these apps.

You need VPN only for login into the app once in two weeks, so, there’s no problem with it.

Yes, backup save and config files, and restore them in case of the reinstallation, but generally games rarely delete them when you uninstall them. This approach works almost with every game.

What if the OP is from South America or Europe, is there a Pan-American library card? Or maybe Transatlantic one?

Well, the easiest way to find where the save files are located is to check out pcgamingwiki.
