I haven't had the courage to run executable code from P2P networks since the early 2000s. Even then it was probably a bad idea.

So you only pirate music and movies? How do you play games and use expensive software, then?

I don't play games and I don't use expensive software (ok, beside Windows and Office). Mostly I don't use my computer when I am not at work. I have other hobbies and I have enough of computer at work (I am a software developer). I only pirate movies and tv shows. I don't even pirate music. I just use YouTube music, with turkish family account (it's the cheapest, around 1,20€ - 1,80€ per month for 6 accounts). I was using Netflix, but since they started blocking account sharing I stopped using Netflix. It's too pricey for how much I watch movies and tv shows. For Windows I usually download iso from microsoft, and find activator on mydigitallife forum. If I need to download some software (like Office for example) from some torrent tracker, I am lucky we have local private tracker that is known and used by whole country.

I don't even use Microsoft Office anymore after the last Medusa bug in msdt that compromised computers without opening the virus files. LibreOffice ftw. I miss nothing. Much safer.

When I'm on Linux (most of the time), I'm using Libre Office, but sometimes I have to open some word document in Microsoft Office, because Libre Office don't open it correctly.
