The complete Paradox CreamAPI file [UPDATE 2]
[Previous/old post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/18bcg2h/updated_creamapi_paradox_file/)
Hey! Back with update three to the complete Paradox CreamAPI file after many wishes for an extended list as of the 20.05.2024.
These include:
* HOI4
* Cities: Skylines
* Crusader Kings 3
* Victoria 3
* Europa Universalis 4
* Stellaris
* Imperator: Rome
* Cities: Skylines 2
* Crusader Kings 2
The file and its secondaries (guides on that are available on yt) have to be applied in
"AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Paradox Interactive\\launcher\\launcher-v2.2023.15\\resources\\app.asar.unpacked\\dist\\main"
↑ This is not the exact path as the launcher-v2.2023.15 will change with every new version (also means the crack has to be reapplied every time the launcher updates)

İ just found LazyLibrarian,it lets you bulk download books(even entire goodreads lists)
İ was looking at some goodreads lists and tought it would be nice if i could download them all ,to have a good catalouge of books im interested in readily available, but doing so manually would be too hard. So i googled a bit and found this open source thing.İt does exactly what i just described.
Not a guide,but you download the thing,set a place for it to pull books from , e.g libgen,irc,torrent sites ,then copy paste link of goodreads list to the whishlist segment and it pulls the books from the list and it automatically downloads them.Even books that have series/sequels are detected and the entire series can be get. İt can also download all the books of an author
İ also found readarr,seems similar however doesn't pull from libgen which is where i prefer
So yeah.İf yall have a similar need,it seems to work in my case.

Newspaper paywalls getting better? (Bypass paywall FT)
I’ve noticed that iamadamdev bypass paywall chrome extension stopped working on the Financial Times a month ago.
I remember reading about tweet just under two months ago mentioning that one of the major UK newspapers had a major technical breakthrough in preventing the circumventing of their paywalls. They planned to sell the technology to other outlets. I am assuming FT is part of this.
Does anyone know what’s going on in this sector? It’s quite hard to find info on Google or X. I am aware of 12ft and archive, but I loved that this was an extension I could forget about.

Just want music but am a beginner
I don't have a VPN which I wouldn't do this without because I can't get my wifi shut down, but I want a shit ton of music on an mp3 player and I am not spending 2 dollars a song or whatever. It would mostly be popular rap and classic rock and stuff, nothing weird. How should I go about this? am willing to use linux, already have a mint usb stick, but would rather not. and sorry if this is posted here every day

What makes braflix so good compared to other streaming sites?
Recently I had switched over to torrenting series and movies due to the videos buffering constantly, whereas before I would stream them on sflix etc. which all use the same servers afaik.
I just finished watching rise of the planets of the apes completely buffering-free and with perfect subtitles, even the chimps’ sign language to each other were subtitled LOL.
What makes braflix stream so well?

YSK: Real Debrid is for torrents in general, not just for Stremio.
It's wildly impressive for general torrents. Paste the magnet link or upload the torrent file into the real debrid website and get the link from there.
Ghost of Tsushima is brand new out and I just downloaded it at 90mb/s no issues. And since RD just downloads it once from the torrent and caches it, it isn't even bad for the ecosystem since most people don't seed much anyway.
The other benefit is that like with streaming, you're not using the torrent network anymore so your ISP doesn't know anything and your IP doesn't show anywhere.

A pirate's guide to android apps
Recently, a comment I made under another post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/s/OWvN8UNd0e) explaining what apps I use kinda blew up and people really found it useful, so I'm turning it into a proper guide! Here are some apps I think you all could find useful:
Getting apps
F-droid: the alternative to the play store, it needs extra repositories to unlock its full potential. I'd recommend adding at least IzzyOnDroid, Guardian Project and Newpipe's repositories, but there are more. Many apps from the rest of this list come from f-droid.
Obtainium: an app that allows you to get updates for your other app from any source, including github and f-droid. The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't easily discover new apps from there, otherwise I'd immediately get rid of f-droid lol
Mobilism: where you can get all the modded apps you want
Lucky Patcher: lets you patch your apps yourself, only recommended for experienced users
Honourable mentions: droid-ify, a client for f-droid; aurora store, it allows you to download stuff from the play store without logging in; apkmirror, where you can get clean .apk files for most apps
Media
Aniyomi: manga, comics, anime, movies, tv series, everything in a single app. I can't recommend it enough.
Cloudstream: alternative to Aniyomi, doesn't have manga/comics and it's more focused around western movies and series.
ReVanced: if I have to explain it to you, you're the most inexperienced pirate sailing the seas of android. It's the way to use youtube without ads and with a ton of extra features. It needs an external app for downloads, I'd recommend either newpipe or seal. Oh, and they also have patches for other apps like twitter, not just youtube!
PurpleTV: twitch client with adblocking and extra emotes
Seal: downloading stuff from pretty much everywhere
Honourable mentions: any fork of tachiyomi for mangas and comics works; there are some unofficial forks of revanced (like revanced extended), I haven't tried any of them though so idk if they're safe and/or worth it; newpipe and grayjay as youtube alternatives; tubemate, an alternative youtube downloader
Music
Spotify: the default way to listen to music for most people. There are 5000 modded versions of it, so just pick one
Musicolet: the GOAT of offline music players, it's free and it's the best one I've ever tried
Automatic Tag Editor (Automatag): edit tags (artist, name, album art, etc) of your music
SongSync: add lyrics to your downloaded music through .lrc files (only works if supported by the music player)
Honourable mentions: fildo, an alternative to cracked Spotify that I only use to download stuff in FLAC
Browser
Just use firefox with a truckload of add-ons, it's the best. Brave is ok too I guess, and Tor might be useful sometimes, but just use firefox.
Utility
MiXplorer: the best file manager in existence, period. Takes a while to set it up, but it's worth it, trust me.
Hypatia: antivirus. Not necessary, but doesn't hurt either.
FolderSync: lets you sync folders between devices and with cloud services. Extremely useful for backups and file sharing
Syncthing: sync folders between your device without needing to use cloud services, alternative to FolderSync
Aegis: authenticator app for 2FA, safer alternative to Google Authenticator
KeePassDX or Bitwarden: password managers. Both have their pros and cons, personally I use keepass but most people suggest self-hosted bitwarden. Just look into them and decide yourself.
AdAway: adblocker. There are other options that are just as valid, no reason to pick this one in particular.
Notesnook: encrypted notes with automatic backups and syncing between devices
AntennaPod: where I get my podcasts from
Proton: free VPN, not for torrenting tho.
OpenWeather: weather app
Honourable mentions: MEGA: the goat of clouds; AccuBattery: info about your battery's health; Calyx VPN or RiseUp VPN are alternatives to Proton... If you trust them; modded
Lossless music
I've decided to go back to pirating music as apple music works terribly with my Android, and Spotify's audio quality is just a waste of money.
Where can I get true lossless music?
I have a strong feeling that the only way to do this is going to be torrenting but I have a huge playlist so if that's how I gotta do it, then suggest a way to do it so that it wouldn't take ages for me to fully download my playlist. The only thing that comes to my mind is downloading albums all together.
All that aside, where should I download it from? 1337x is my go to

Cancelled my Spotify subscription after 2 years.
Spotify had been worth it when I was able to listen music while I busy with my hobbies such as walking, travelling and volunteering but not anymore. Now that I have a car, been busy with school and work I don’t need it and I think that it’s too expensive for what I get.
I can just use YubePip with an ad blocker on my phone and that’ll be enough. Yes I do have to turn on my phone each time I want to change my songs and it does bug sometimes and eats my battery like there’s no tomorrow, but at least I don’t have to pay 130 euros per year.
Even if Spotify was 6 euros per month, that still would not make it worth its money.

Got a virus from “getalink” in the megathread
As the title says, I got a virus from the website “getalink” in the megathread. I know it has a red flag but I don’t think it should be in the megathread at all.
Luckily I tested the program on my burner laptop first so no damage done.

1. [Adobe Guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1cbmzxy/guide_simplest_way_to_pirate_adobe_stuff/)
2. [MS Office guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1cab3pn/guide_simplest_guide_on_how_to_pirate_microsoft/)
Hello everybody welcome to this guide for babies who want to pirate games from Fitgirl repack (FG).
Stuff required to start:
>*A great pirate will always use Firefox + Ublock origin*
So, here is my recommended list:
Use a VPN if you live in a country that cares about copyright laws!
Browsers:
* Firefox
Browser extensions:
* Ublock
Torrent client:
* qBittorrent
# Step 1
Go to the official Fitgirl repacks site: [fitgirl-repacks.site](http://fitgirl-repacks.site) (Copy and paste into the URL address bar)
https://preview.redd.it/7bsppirx0i1d1.png?width=1586&format=png&auto=webp&s=6c4fec177a262eeee10d540de7c19fe7b9fa3140
# Step 2
Search for the game you want.

# Step 3
Click on the **magnet** link.
**⚠IMPORTANT: Make sure you turn off your windows defender before downloading (it might delete some of the important game files). ⚠**

[Click on \\"choose application\\"](https://preview.redd.it/hiuidf0c5i1d1.png?width=424&format=png&auto=webp&s=5b7a37f366fd212a6ead8f4c31a98a9316880b0e)
[Select qBittorrent and start your torrent!](https://preview.redd.it/t0j5cmwe5i1d1.png?width=423&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7893d53bce65d6f7cc3c25e5c8390a98f471696)
# Step 4
After you have successfully downloaded the game files, run the setup.exe file (in this case, I am using windows 10, so I'll click on "setup\_win10\_win11.exe"). After the installer pops up, just follow through; even a baby can do that!

Is It Anyway To Stream Any Sporting Event In The Highest Quality?
I'm imagining some paid service that exist that allows you to stream any sporting event you want in the highest possible quality. Cuz I doubt there any fully free way to stream in the highest quality. I know there are a lot of streams online but there all usually lower quality. I obviously could just pay for the official subscription for whatever I'm viewing but I'm thinking more of an all in one solution. For example, if I wanted to watch the Fury vs Usyk fight and then turn on a NBA game right after. It probably doesn't exist but it doesn't hurt to ask.
