I never torrent for ethical reasons, but I just jumped onto soap2day to check if they had something that I've been on the lookout for (Abacus: Small Enough to Jail) and they don't have it.

Yeah, not everything, but between torrents + paid streaming + soap I dont have a problem.

I google'd "Abacus: Small Enough to Jail", the full thing is (legally) on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKPa4OIVN4U

But geo-locked to US only. You can still download it using any YT downloader @ 1080p (851mb), for ex:

you could also watch it through an Invidious instance located in the US.

context for unaware: torrents are more general. for example, official releases of open source operating systems, such as debian [1], are available via torrents.

I'm pretty sure HN users know what torrents mean. Context does the rest.

All the more reason not to conflate copyright infringement with the BitTorrent protocol.
