if you aren't lucky enough to have scene or secret vcdq ftp access the way to go is definitely usenet. the year or so I had giganews spoiled me rotten it was like the world was my own personal topsite and well worth the $30 a month I was paying (hear that media companies? since it was a REASONABLE price for me to CHOOSE the content and format *I* wanted, WITHOUT DRM, I was HAPPY to pay a fee for it HINT HINT) The only reason I haven't renewed my subscription is because money is tight and have stuck with a few priv torrent sites, long as you stay away from the 'major' "private" (quote crazy!) sites you really have little to worry about if thats the way you want to go, any of them worthwhile will support encrypted streams, as well as peerguardian and other's lists directly at the tracker, so it's impossible to reach into the swarm to grab IPs (of course there is *some* risk but that's the price you pay for not forking over to usenet).
I remember when torrents first started happening as a major release resource I decided to 'check it out' and got a cease and desist regarding Animal House from Universal Studios that I grabbed off a public tracker, and my brother just got nabbed for grabbing battlestar galactica off pirate bay, had to have a talk with him about that (honestly you'd think scifi would be happy any second their channel gets any more exposure with their budget and level of 'quality' programming) but haven't seen anything since mostly because if you keep it low profile things will go well for ya, if you need any advice para send me a pm and i'll be able to point ya in the right direction.
