*gets malware
Much more ethical and safe to get blurays
From a movie?
Lmao. Show me an exploit that allows you to run arbitrary code from encoded video files, then we'll talk
CVE-2018-11529. Not that it's a common thing, but it has happened
Not bad, although this only seems to affect VLC and not a specific video decoder
all of the jellyfin apps embed vlc as a player though, so the meme would have been vulnerable
I'm antsy about pirating software and games because of malware, but movies and shows? Just go to a reputable site and choose a torrent with a lot of seeds and it's pretty safe. Personally I have an old laptop dedicated to running a jellyfin server streaming torrents, so even if I did download malware there's nothing of value on the drive
