    You don’t have to use doublespeak, neither of these communities have rules against piracy.

    Here’s some of my personal list, in no particular order: (full list)

    • Steam Underground - cs.rin.ru - clean steam files, and the cracks to use them, - requires an account, my personal favorite
    • Library Genesis - libgen.rs - libgen.is - libgen.rs - exactly what it says on the tin
    • ZLibrary - https://zlibrary-global.se/ - exactly what it says on the tin
    • Fitgirl Repacks - fitgirl-repacks.site - video game repacks, need to be installed
    • Dodi Repacks - dodi-repacks.site - video game repacks, need to be installed
    • Vimm’s Lair - vimm.net - old games and the emulators to run them
    • WinWorldPC - winworldpc.com - old software and OSes
    • Good Old Downloads - gog-games.to - games, this site was temporarily taken down by IGGames a while back
    • The Index - theindex.moe - japanese media, mostly anime
    • LookMovie2 - lookmovie2.to - movies, use adblocker
    • Mobilism - forum.mobilism.org - modded android apps, requires account to use search

    Sites to actually avoid:

    • IGG-Games - has had many viruses (ex. cryptominers, RATs) and DRM in their cracked games, got the great GoodOldDownloads shut down (temporarily)
    • SteamUnlocked - it’s ad infested and has slow downloads, also takes some games from IGG and other sus sites
    • Torrenting (copyrighted content) without a VPN - depends on your country, but you can get sent cease and desist letters
    • The Pirate Bay - filled with malware (including from skulled users)
    • Kickass Torrents - the real site was shut down years ago, only copycats of dubious quality exist now
  • My Password Is 1234@lemmy.world

    I will avoid them. Thank you for the useful information! I will definitely add them to my bookmarks so I can check if I accidentally visit any of them. What a terrible world…
