I heard that it is possible to inject video containers with malware. I also heard malware is rampant on 1337x. And I don’t have an antivirus to scan files for the moment cuz I’m on Linux, also it would be too much for me to upload the movie to virustotal.

I found a release that suits my need for the movie I’m looking for, but I don’t know if I can trust this uploader (TGxGoodies). the number of seeders is over 120 for the movie.
the reason I’m reluctant is that a very active uploader on 1337x: IGGGAMESCOM is labeled “Vip Uploader” despite a simple search on reddit shows that there are victims for their malware-injected uploads.

    You are safe pirating either games or software, if you know what you are doing. Many apps require only a key, so, you just download an official app and find the key for it. Many games has gog versions, which are drm-free, or if it’s a steam version, you download clean steam files and use some steam emulators. That covers 99% of all the games. Game piracy has never been that easy and comfortable like it happens to be nowadays.
