So I recently graduated college, and thus my free access to the Adobe suite I had through the school is no more. However, I do a decent bit of video editing, so it would be really great if I could "re-obtain" Premiere Pro, without having to pay for adobe's stupid over priced subscription bs.
However, my knowledge of acquiring otherwise paid material online for free pretty much starts and stops at sketchy sites for streaming movies/shows. So how would one, like myself, go about getting Premiere Pro, pro-bono, without either giving my laptop a terminal disease or my internet provider sending me death threats ?
Download and install Qbittorrent
Get a vpn, check out privacytools.io for a list. One outside of 14 eyes countries that are likely to turn the data over to the us/your country (assuming you’re in the 14 eyes) is ideal. (This one depends on your country some are worse about this than others. Tbh sometimes I file share w/o a vpn but it’s always better to be safe than sorry)
Go to 1337x.to and search for premiere pro. Download the most recent one with the most seeds. If you have qbittorrent installed it click the magnet link and it will automatically set up the torrent
(Also use Firefox and install ublock origin to avoid all the sketchy ads and stuff that torrent sites tend to have)
As far as installing it goes, each torrent should have instructions on how it works. Sometimes it requires copying a file over sometimes the software is precracked meaning you just have to install it normally and it’s already set up to go. I have premiere on my computer and I think that’s how mine was.
Also for the avoidance of doubt if the software you torrent tries to make any outbound connections, your firewall will notify you, just cancel it and don’t let it.
