I wrote this post for a friend, I'm sharing it here for anybody it might help. I got asked multiple times how I download cracked music software so I figured it'd be easier to write it down once. It's meant for people with very low technical skills who just want to start torrenting software without major risks, and it includes a bunch of safety tips that are already known in this community.

If you have feedback, let me know and I'll update the post.

I honestly don't know. The only advice I'd have for the layman would be "just don't do this", but I understand that's little more than an invitation to be ignored.

Solid, good advice that gets ignored is still solid, good advice.

Yup, exactly. We can't gatekeep this too much, even if it's warranted, otherwise people will just give up and never actually spend time to learn about this.
