Yes there’s usually a good cache for very cheap though most are scratched up

1000% percent!

I go to a local game exchange place, they have all kinds of DVDs and Blu-Rays for dirt cheap.

absolutely. whole walls of old movies, music, whatever.

the really good stuff eventually goes, but there is often a lot of pretty dang good media there too.

check for scratches, tho

psst, they're talking about movies

is this an internet secret code I am missing ?

Many Linux ISOs are distributed via torrents.

Ask yourself what other types of media can be had on popular torrent sites.

The two things that torrents are best at are downloading Linux ISOs and pirating content. So using qbittorrent to download Linux ISOs is usually code for piracy, since torrenting Linux ISOs is legal and piracy is not :)

Piracy is legal if you're big enough

I think that's called being a privateer, you just need the right papers from the king!

It's even in the Urban Dictionary [1]:

> Linux ISO: A codeword for copyrighted material shared without permission, usually over P2P networks.
