One paper from 2020s found that men (curiously unlike [women](woman.md)) exposed to anti-piracy propaganda will increase their pirating by 18% :D One example of publicly embracing piracy in the mainstream is e.g. the [Pirate party](pirate_party.md) that has risen to popularity in a few countries now.
**Where To Pirate Stuff?** The following information is for FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHERS only :'D We merely mention places where pirating oftentimes happens AS A CURIOSITY and interesting fact, without telling you what you should or shouldn't do, OK? [Web](www.md), as any mainstream place, is extremely censored, not much can be found there except for a few bastions of freedoms such as Anna's archive, library of genesis, [abandonware](abandonware.md) sites etc. Web can perhaps offer some good pointers, e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/Piracy/wiki/megathread and https://piracy.vercel.app. It is possible to try try some clever search hacks (special search options like "filetype=pdf" etc., using non-Google search engines, ...) but it's usually fruitless. In general it is a noob mistake to try to Google things on the web, using underground non-web networks is what will yield results. These include [torrents](torrent.md), [FTP](ftp.md) search engines, [I2P](i2p.md), [IPFS](ipfs.md), [gopher](gopher.md), maybe even [darknet](darknet.md) etc.

A cool trick to discovering places that hold piratable content is this: one downloads something proprietary and normally publicly inaccessible, for example some kind of ISO standard (which can be done through Anna's archive or something), and then one searches for a verbatim long sentence (i.e. in double quotes) from the document -- this finds places where this "inaccessible" document is publicly uploaded, which will likely also have other "inaccessible" documents.
