It's literally on the unsafe sites list...

But this t-shirt is looking dope af, I want it so bad

I have the tshirt, to remember the glory days, but I would never use TPB in its current form...

I made it about 10 years ago. It's still up there on teepublic if you want it. https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/22282710-the-pirate-bay-official-logo I was inspired by a photo of a guy wearing one in front of the motion picture association of America building. It's seriously Cracked me up, and I couldn't find one, so I just made it for myself.

Uhm, question.

Using Stremio I rarely pay attention to the origin of the stuff I'm streaming.

I operate on the assumption that Real Debrid already do all the security job for me.

Should I avoid using sources that are from Pirate Bay?

u/LZ129Hindenburg avatar

Streaming torrents from TPB through Stremio is safe. In general, you don't need to worry about viruses from media files. The main exception would be if you downloaded what was supposed to be a media file and it was actually an exe or some sort of compressed file. But since Stremio would not be able to do anything with an incorrect file type in the first place, there is practically zero risk.

The Pirate Bay is not trusted.

the pirate bay has not been trusted for a rather long time

And that is a shame as they are a very important symbol and piece of history.

Movies and stuff you can easily scan for viruses but large games or in general games would recommend Fitgirl repacks

"The Official site for fitgirl repacks not the fake ones

Appreciate the detailed response. 👍This really helps. As a long time user of it, I always wondered if the trusted links meant anything.

No they do
