Welcome to the r/SoftwarePirates Megathread!
This megathread contains a list of tools, software, sites, etc. for Software Piracy. This will be updated every now and then so be sure to check once in a while.
INFO
What are scene releases or Cracks?
What are Torrents?
For Non-English sites, use Google Translate or MATE Translate to view them in English or another language.
Sometimes, your ISP can spy on your web browsing activity when going onto piracy sites (despite the chance of this being slim). To prevent this, use a DNS that your ISP doesn't use. We recommend AdGuard DNS and Quad9.
If a site is blocked or you can't access it, it can caused by your ISP or DNS Blocking the site. This can be fixed by using a DNS, Proxy, or a VPN.
Another tool you can use is Unblockit-PW. Just use the sites listed on the megathread there and stay away from unsafe or untrusted sites.

Its hard to recommend a VPN service, so here are some lists on VPN recommendations below. You can go to r/VPN and ask questions there or advice on VPNs.
UNSAFE / UNTRUSTED SITES
These are unsafe / untrusted sites that you should NEVER go to and do not download from there as these are malicious or bad.

- Kickass Torrents - Same as The Pirate Bay
- SadeemPC / SadeemAPK - High malware risk

- ANY VIDEO ON YOUTUBE or SITE YOU FIND ON GOOGLE that tells you how to get software for free. These are one of the many ways people get infected commonly with nasty things on their computer. Only stick to trusted sites listed here on the megathread.
- Any Torrent Aggregator or Search Engine site like SnowFL, Knaben, BTDigg, Torrents2eu, Zooqle, etc. for software because these sites can crawl for software torrents in unsafe areas like The Pirate Bay or Kickass Torrents. The people who own the site don't want to infect you with malware, but its best that you stay away from these sites when you go torrent software anyway to stay safe.
