LESSON ONE: WIRELESS INTERNET
If you live in a heavily populated area like I do, get yourself a wireless card or an airport and steal a signal.
Cancel your internet service.
LESSON TWO: TORRENTS
Now that I just saved you from that internet bill, let's concentrate on your cable, music and movie expenses.
Every popular television show, DVD, or CD is available online, for free, on TORRENT sites. Just google "torrents" - you'll see what I mean.
Often, especially during awards season, you can find DVD quality screeners of current running films on these sites.
Make sure the files say DVDRIP or DVDSCR.
CAM files are some guy filming a screen in the theater. Not worth it.
MININOVA.ORG is the site to go to. A goldmine. Chances are you'll find any DVD or CD you are looking for.
Also a site called EZTV. They post all major TV shows minutes after they've aired.
You'll need to download a TORRENT PROGRAM. My favorite is called AZUREUS.
A free download.
Movies may take a few hours, TV shows a little less - CD's take minutes.
Link to your television or just watch on the computer.
Cancel your cable.
LESSON THREE: STEALING SONGS
If all you want is a song, or you are curious about a certain artist, download a program called LIMEWIRE.
A free download.
There you can search out songs and artists and download them track-by-track.
It's an incredibly simple program.
My newest discovery in the realm of music theft is a program called STREAM RIPPER X.
A free download.
This program allows you to rip hours and hours from any SHOUTCAST supported radio stream (SHOUTCAST.COM).
Shoutcast caters to a huge variety of musical tastes and Stream Ripper X breaks down each stream track-by-track, allowing you choose what songs to keep or trash.
Keep note of the BITRATE quality. 128 is the cleanest.
Priceless.
LESSON FOUR: RAPING YOUR NETFLIX QUE
A buddy of mine recently turned me onto a program called HANDBREAK.
A free download.
Insert any DVD into your computer and Handbreak rips it onto your drive in under an hour.
The quality of the rip is entirely up to you. If you give a shit, set the TARGET SIZE higher. If not, just press the RIP button and let it roll.
Burn that file onto a blank DVD and you've just saved yourself twenty bucks.
LESSON FIVE: YOUR WELCOME.
