We'd recommend checking out privacy guides like [SSD](https://ssd.eff.org/) and [The New Oil](https://thenewoil.org/).
> I don't know what seeding or *insert another term* means...
You will find almost all terms related to piracy and more in [The Piracy Glossary](https://rentry.org/the-piracy-glossary). Didn't find what you're looking for or still confused? Reach out to us via [Discord](https://discord.gg/5W9QJKuPkD).
> How can I download / activate Windows or Microsoft Office for free?
For Windows check out this [section](#windows-piracy), and for Microsoft Office check out this [guide](https://gravesoft.dev/download_windows_office/office_c2r_links/).
> Where can I find *insert game title / movie title*?
You can use [WhereYouWatch](https://whereyouwatch.com) for finding movies, and for new movies it's a good idea to keep an eye on [r/movieleaks](https://reddit.com/r/movieleaks) as well. You should also be able to find most movies you're looking for in the [streaming section](#streaming). For games, you can use [Rezi](https://rezi.one) or any other site listed [here](https://fmhy.net/gamingpiracyguide#download-games), and for newly released games check out [r/crackwatch](https://reddit.com/r/crackwatch).
!!!info Pirated movie releases generally happen after a movie is digitally released or released via Blu-ray / DVD, which can take 3+ months after initially playing in theaters.
!!!warning Please avoid downloading games from any site listed [here](https://fmhy.net/unsafesites) as they're very likely to contain malicious links.
> How can I unlock *insert random game title* DLCs?
> Should I install and use *insert random antivirus software* instead of using Windows Defender?
No, don't do that. Windows Defender is more than enough to keep you safe, but if you're still set on installing a secondary AV, the only one worth installing is Malwarebytes. Please read the note [here](#anti-virus).
!!!warning Stay away from Avast, Norton, and McAfee, as these are "bloatware" and generally unsafe software.
> How can I download an image from *insert stock image site*?
You can use [this downloader](https://downloader.la/), and if it doesn't work you can find other stock image downloaders [here](https://fmhy.net/img-tools#stock-photos).
!!!note Don't run multiple general adblockers like uBlock and Adblock Plus at the same time. Running more than one can [cause breakage](https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1033706103782170625). This only applies to general adblockers, so running things like uBlock and Sponsorblock at the same time is fine.
!!!note Antivirus software is usually bloatware. Stick to trusted sources for games and software and you will be fine with nothing but Windows Defender and an occasional Malwarebytes scan. Remember to always scan software before installing it with tools like **[VirusTotal](https://www.virustotal.com/)** or use it in **[Sandboxie](https://rentry.co/sandboxie-guide)**.
!!!note Note that a VPN is not needed outside torrenting. You can avoid the need for one altogether by sticking to direct download and streaming sites.
!!!note When using DDLs, it's generally recommended to use a download manager such as JDownloader, as they improve the ease of downloading as well as the speed. You can find them listed [here](https://fmhy.net/file-tools#download-managers).
!!!warning Torrenting can get you in trouble with your ISP, so make sure to use a [VPN](https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/wiki/adblock-vpn-privacy#wiki_.25BA_vpn). Most VPNs offer a killswitch to prevent data leaks, but you should also [bind your VPN to your client](https://redd.it/ssy8vv), preventing it from connecting at all unless your VPN is on.
