> How can I improve my privacy online?
2024-03-27 23:35:15 +00:00
We'd recommend checking out privacy guides like [SSD](https://ssd.eff.org/) and [The New Oil](https://thenewoil.org/).

2024-01-11 20:42:51 +00:00
> 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?
2024-03-25 22:24:05 +00:00
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/).
2023-08-31 09:32:28 +00:00
> Where can I find *insert game title / movie title*?
2024-01-11 20:42:51 +00:00
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.
2023-11-14 07:43:33 +00:00
2024-01-14 14:28:12 +00:00
!!!warning Please avoid downloading games from any site listed [here](https://fmhy.net/unsafesites) as they're very likely to contain malicious links.
2023-08-31 09:32:28 +00:00
> How can I unlock *insert random game title* DLCs?
Use the tools listed [here](https://fmhy.net/gamingpiracyguide#steam-epic) to unlock DLCs.
2023-08-31 09:32:28 +00:00
2024-01-11 20:42:51 +00:00
> Should I install and use *insert random antivirus software* instead of using Windows Defender?
2024-05-12 22:53:05 +00:00
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.
2023-08-31 09:32:28 +00:00
> How can I bypass a paywalled article?
Use this [browser extension](https://github.com/bpc-clone/bpc_updates/releases) / [filter list](https://github.com/bpc-clone/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters) to read the article easily.
2023-08-31 09:32:28 +00:00
> 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).
