This is where I'll help you be a digital pirate in the modern age.
First, start using FireFox with uBlock Origin. This will help offer better security and ad blocking than Chromium based browsers.
If you plan on torrenting files, you'll want to download qBittoren for when you start torrenting.
If you want to download music and videos from YouTube, I suggest downloading yt-dlp. It requires FFmpeg and FFprobe as well as yt-dlp-ejs for full YouTube support. Windows users will need to download FFmpeg and FFprobe onto their system manually. Linux users should have FFmpeg and FFprobe installed automatically as they are dependencies. Good luck Mac users... I don't use Mac because fuck Apple.
For pirating movies and TV shows I suggest 1337x, which requires torrenting.
For pirating video games I suggest two places: FitGirl Repacks which requires torrenting, I suggest using the magnet link as it saves an additional download; and STEAMRIP which is a direct download. Stealing from EA, Games Workshop, Activision
