Yeah it's just for me personally I like to make sure I support the creators of the media I consume. Just what works for me.

Yeah that's where I was kinda leaning since it's just for my household's use. Especially since I've already purchased it once.
May I ask for your reasoning?
Wanted to "aquire legitimately" a movie and from there learned more and more about how big business and big brothers all over like to invade privacy for power and profit.
I'm pretty new to torrenting as well. To answer your questions based on the personal research I've done.

You absolutely require a VPN. Definitely a paid one. The free ones are not of good quality and a lot of them are more than likely to be detrimental to your privacy. Also P2P is not a requirement for torrenting. All it does is it enables you to make more connections in the swarm and making the torrent download faster. Some good recommendations of VPN's with port forwarding I've seen thrown around are Proton VPN, Airvpn. Options without port forwarding are Mullvad, or IVPN.

I've been using 1337x for movies and TV shows and it's been great. I've also heard Torrent Galaxy is good as well. As always though be really careful with what you download no matter what. Always run a scan on files you download.

Qbittorrent is the best.

The dystopia is coming. If it's not already here.
I honestly love Anthony. He just has such a plethora of knowledge and always brings a fun energy when he hosts.
I use 1Password for mine.
Yeah it's fairly comperable. A while after we got it our town got fiber optic so that's obviously better speeds for around the same price. However a big incentive was how mobile Starlink is and we experience quite a bit less instability than the ISP's around here.
I use Starlink. $120 per month for 100<MBPS down and 15 MBPS up in Eastern Oregon.
Yeah I know it's not legal in my country and state, but was just trying to get a feel for different opinions on the morality of my question. For me I just like making sure the creator of the media I really enjoy get's some kind of support, that way I'm voting a little with my dollar. So far I'm really thinking I've paid for the media once and once is more than enough.
