No. The piracy scene is infested with malware and spyware. Without a trusted, reputable source and personal safety habits, piracy will only yield cursed booty.
If you pirate movies and music, you really don't have to worry about malware. Yeah, those sites are quite shady, but you won't get a virus from a MP3.
Well, there is a Lemmy community dedicated to the topic which has info on the safety of websites, there is browser extension that shows if a site is considered safe and you can do the regular security stuff (Ublock, Virustotal). While I’m not saying you should pirate, you could definitely do so securely
