I’m moving in a week and changing my ISP, so my plan is just to pirate a few terabytes of music and games on this IP and dip out. I’ve never pirated anything before though, what’s the easiest way for me to do this?

#1. (RTFM) Read the Megathread, it has all the trusted sites you’ll likely need unless you’re getting into to very niche things.
#2. Use a VPN. Mullvad is great but they recently removed port-forwarding so if you care about port-forwarding I recommend going with something like ProtonVPN (paid).
#3. Bind your VPN to your torrent client. (I recommend using QBittorrent)
#4. Also, for music, I recommend you look into soulseek.
Edit: Read @GrievingWidow420@feddit.it’s reply to this comment. They give helpful information that I completely spaced to add into my original comment.
I don’t know where you live, just wanted to say if you’re dabbling in this new hobby, make sure they’re not keeping logs after your contract ends. Your IP of today might still be traceable back to you, if they keep the logs for a fixed time after the contract ended. Or use protection.
I live in the US, what do you think are the chances I’ll face repercussions for a a terabyte or two of music and such? I just set up proton VPN and I’m using utorrent.
μtorrent is full of spyware. Best to use qbittorrent. But as long as you are using a reliable VPN (like proton) and for added security have it attached to your torrent client’s kill switch, you’ll be fine.
