I suppose it depends on your jurisdiction. Uploading is what's (potentially) illegal in Canada. Downloading is (probably) legal.

And neither have been tried by courts because mass John Doe suits have been shut down by our courts.

Regardless, the legal risk of downloading here is basically zero, so there's effectively no risk to using a debrid service.
