igg-games has been caught bundling malware and miners before, 1337x isn't moderated for shit, torrentfreak is a news site, jesus christ don't use pirate bay what the fuck is wrong with you, but otherwise solid points.
soulseek is lit, nyaa is legit, and for all else [email protected] and the megathread @ https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/10901
That’s not even the right url for 1337x
the right URL btw is 1337x.to
it's one of the mirrors, but yeah.
1337x is compromised, nobody should use them at all anymore
Yes, films should be fine.
Games would be fine too if they are Scene/Topsite cracks. You should be able to verify the files integrity with the hash, referenced to a Pre site like scnsrc.net
Y no piratebay tho?
not moderated, so people often post malware there iirc
I don't know exactly how defederation works, but the megathread is currently hosted on Rentry in case you cannot view the piracy community link in app/website while signed in.
rentry(dot)com(slash)negathread
Be warned, though, that it could change if any government or corporation or whatever decides to go after it just because there are links to piracy sites.
