It would be fine if it wasn't for all the mining software that comes packaged with my downloads
I presume this is in jest, but to be honest I feel like there is less risk of bad operators consuming my computing power and data when pirating than using legit services these days (ads, marketing, poor software etc...). I actually pirate content that I pay for as it gets all my content into a single location, and easily tracks what I have watched, and is better for taking it offline.
I'd like to say I was half-joking but some of the games and movies I've pirated have directly affected the performance of my CPU (like 100% CPU usage under light loads)
Edit: I was wrong about movies having mining software packed in but I'm leaving the original comment up
You have never downloaded a movie that negatively affected your CPU performance. A movie (i.e. mkv file) cannot do this.
