The gray area where I live is that streaming is not piracy. I didn't pay for it, but I also didn't retain a copy.

Putlocker and Wootly were my go-to spots in college because I wouldn't get a piracy warning from my internet provider.

If there are better places these days, please let me know. I miss seeing new movies the same day they hit the digital marketplace

I've been using lookmovie2.to for a while and that seems to be pretty good.

If you're looking for everything piracy related then hit up the Free Media Heck Yeah wiki:

Or for movies particularly:

Yeah once internet speeds got good enough, I stopped pirating movies and shows and started just watching them on streaming sites. The quality is usually slightly worse, but not enough for me to care that much. Stops your ISP from threatening you about piracy and makes it so you don't have to fill up your hard drive space.

Putlocker was my go to years back as well. But in recent years I've been using movies7 dot to. I don't know if Putlocker has changed at all, but I remember long ago it was a bit difficult to search for the content you wanted. More modern dedicated streaming sites like the one I mentioned are much easier to search.

There was another site that I had run into a recommendation for recently that might be better than the one I mentioned....but unfortunately I can't remember what that one is.
