Most of the time, the tools I use to pirate are open source themselves so that isn't really a problem for me.

I don't mean the distribution tools like bittorrent etc have malware. If you pirate games or software, you run binaries provided by the people that cracked it, which don't tend to be open source. At least they weren't back when I was consuming them.

I mean I used tools like UltimMC to get around having to make a minecraft account. UltimMC doesn't provide the games themselves, that is downloaded from mojang's website, UltimMC simply provides a way to get around basic DRM.
