Usenet is definitely the answer. Old school but it works and its inaccessibility relative to torrents keeps it out of "easy-ish target" territory for IP enforcers.

The Usenet subreddit is a good reference. They have an excellent wiki as well - e.g., https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/providerdeals/

Found this comment when I did a ctrl-F to see who was breaking the first rule of Usenet LOL
Also, media piracy is much more convenient these days thanks to the excellent media server options (Plex/Emby/Jellyfin) and the *arr suite of apps.
You simply add movies and shows to your library and have them “magically” appear in your media server app on release - like a personal streaming service.
