Sad thing is how many people are open and willing to say fuck em and pirate but too lazy to Google "how to torrent" and read the 3 sentences needed to know how.
Can't you get huge fines for torrenting? I guess there's VPNs and stuff but that's another step and who knows it it's full proof. Also is it easy to still find 4k versions of things and get it from your computer to TV?
Gonna be country dependent possibly but honestly no. In the early 2000s they tried the whole making an example out of pirates things but these days every single movie and music studio knows that piracy increases their profits through word of mouth. They can never endorse it but they're never going to kill it either as it makes them bank.
VPN is something good to have and at this point take my advice with salt cause others disagree but at least in the US the VPN is prolly overkill. I have an inbox filled with at least 1-2000 dcma warnings from Comcast, att, Verizon. Etc spanning over 15 years. That's all they do though. They have to send out the warnings but that's it. But all this is pretty irrelevant as a vpn is more than enough and not hard to find a reliable one.
Ya plenty of 4k content. Honestly 4k tv would be a waste without piracy. Pretty much any movie or tv show made or rereleased in 4k you'll be able to find.
Rarbg closed down last week unfortunately and it was possibly the greatest public tracker of all time.
1337x, torrentgalaxy, and rutracker are probably the best public sources now.
TorrentLeech is one of the easier private trackers to get into but just finished its round of welcoming former RARBG users. Just keep an eye out for when they open registrations again and be sure to read the rules of any private tracker you become a member of.
Prefer hevc (h.265) encodes for the best tradeoff between file size and device compatibility imo.
In terms of file-size at comparable quality: AV1 > h.265 > h.264
In terms of compatibility: h.264 > h.265 > h.265
Most devices at this point should have no issue playing h.265 video and if you're just playing it on a computer use VLC.
There is lots of 4k stuff in torrents but can you even stream 4k at high frame rates? This is just one more way in wich torrents offer better quality. Also streaming is awful you shhould not do it. Even for free stuff use a download manager. Dont clog the internet tubes.

Huh interesting. Yeah maybe it's because my last experience with it was early 2000s. What's the best way to find good quality 4k torrents?
