I have a friend in an abusive situation who uses movies as an escape. How can I set them up to watch pirated movies without anyone in their house knowing? (lemm.ee)

First, child services has been called on multiple occasions and has done nothing. The police don't care either. They're disabled so they can't just leave.

They have a laptop that they can use whenever they want but their patent is extremely opposed to piracy and won't pay for my friend to buy movies or a streaming service. They watch DVDs from the library on their laptop.

They're also not tech savvy so I need a plug and play solution that will allow them to pirate media without anyone else in the household being aware of it.

In the US, watching a pirated stream isn't illegal. It's illegal to share it, but not to view it. IANAL, so don't quote me on that, but thayd what I understand.
