Jack Sparrow?
No, Davy Jones and his motley crew.
Anyway, safe or not, what matters is the legality of the content
in question. If its legal (A mod for a game, a map) then it's fine.
But if its illegal (Cracks, songs etc.), then its piracy. And you
know what happens.
I'm not trying to say things like "Piracy is wrong, it's a sin,
REPENT!" or shit like that. I do d/l stuff as well. But remember,
it's a public forum, not a warez site. Encourage FOSS (Free and
open Source Software) instead of downloading the pay-to-use
'cracked' version of a similar product.
