I actually used to date someone who used piratebay, but he was like, a programmer, and he didn't get any malware or viruses from it because he knew what he was doing on a very highly intelligent, advanced level because of his knowledge as a programmer. He told me though that there's a high chance of getting infected files that could easily kill your computer. So how does someone like me, who's not a programmer, protect their laptop from viruses, malware and other garbage from that site? How do I recognize the safe-to-download files from infected ones? Also, I know I can use blank DVD-Rs for movies, but is it true that I can also download some movies onto a blank CD-R?
