So as a 90's kid, am familiar with 2600 magazine, X-Copy, BBS's, DVDs, Napster then early Usenet.

Now my kid needs to stay safe online, so obviously I teach about uBlock Origin, Debloating Windows, VPNs, qBittorrent with search plugins (per user 😭), fitgirl-repacks.site, Public Torrent sites, magnet links, pirating off iPlayer, archive.org etc.

My point is, it's still a minefield to me; how are the next generation going to carry on the ☠️ tradition? Console piracy is basically dead, stuff getting way more corporate/locked down. What if/when other mediums follow suit?
