If you mean "crack and rip" your own games by getting torrents from scenes, check out the piracy megathread here on saidit, you can use a torrent indexer to search for the games you're looking for and then use a torrent client such as Deluge to download them. Make sure to use a VPN unless you live in a country where torrenting isn't really taken seriously. Look for games cracked by popular scenes with a good reputation so that you know what you're torrenting isn't dodgy.

I personally use NordVPN (though Mullvad is probably the best), Deluge and RARBG when it comes to searching for the games I want. With RARBG you need to be a verified account user in order to upload torrents there, so a lot of what's there is legit if it's uploaded by a scene.

And never upload. Uploading is how they get ya. If ya never upload, they can't prove you have it stored on your computer, so they will never go after ya. Every single time i've heard of someone getting dinged for torrents was from uploading. upload rate fixed at 0kbps = no problems.

My friend got sent a letter from AMC asking for thousands of dollars because his ISP caught him torrenting like 2 Walking Dead Episodes, ever since then I've always made sure to use a VPN and shit. He lives in Sweden too.

The catch with this is if you don't seed, the trackers will blacklist you to shitty download speeds.

not true except on some websites, most aren't this way
