The recommendations for sharing others Netflix/Steam accounts and downloading books from LibGen seem like they’re in a different category from the rest of the stuff here. There’s an enormous debate on piracy out there, but I wanted to flag this.
Interestingly, the folks at Netflix and HBO don’t seem to mind people sharing accounts:
“”We love people sharing Netflix,” CEO Reed Hastings said Wednesday at the Consumer Electronics Show here in Las Vegas. “That’s a positive thing, not a negative thing.”″
Presumably because i) it makes more people subscribe because they get more value for money by sharing, and ii) eventually people get their own accounts if they like it.

I was going to say the same thing. I found the majority of the advice to be good, but don’t agree with pirating things to save money.
