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

+1 for cs.rin.ru, if I can't find a crack on there I don't bother looking anywhere else.

If you have trouble finding the right forum from the landing page just go to any game on fitgirl's site and it'll have a link back.

If you RTFM, they're just matching the style of the linked comment.

What about filecr.com?

I’ve downloaded 7 windows applications from them 3 years ago. No issues or weird behavior so far.

I haven't heard of filecr, I wouldn't know
