      The U.S government pressured the Swedish government into prosecuting them and changing the laws, leading to them finally going to prison/receiving absurd fines. The circumstances around the whole saga were quite shady, to be honest

        Sort of, afaik the original people aren’t involved anymore and the current site is notorious for being undermoderated and full of malware.

            I find 1337x is generally safe as an open tracker for older movies. Nowhere near the quality of RARBG (RIP, never forgotten), but still.

            But yeah, private trackers are definitely the way to go, generally. Especially TV show full season box sets. Love to binge. Ain’t nobody got time to wait a week between episodes bruh.
