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 !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and the megathread @ https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/10901

    1337x is compromised, nobody should use them at all anymore

    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.

    Soulseek...

    Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time. Next you're gonna tell me Limewire still going or is it GNUtella now? I forgot I'm old and brain not worky right.

    Yep I remember that cuz I was getting into open source at the time and that's when I found out GNU had a Limewire client and that's how I used it in SuSE Linux (boxed distro, pre-Novell). I got my pirate copy of WineX from it lol

    I bet gnutella is just malware now. You had to double check file sizes cuz there was a lot of 18kb files with the same name as exes and popular MP3 tracks.

    You don't need hard drives though. You can just use Webtorrent or Stremio.
