I’m seeing thepiratebay org is discouraged because it has lots of viruses due to lack of moderation. I was wondering how could an mp4 or an mkv etc. could be harmful? Are people talking about executable stuff?

    mkv is not a file archive format.

    It’s a media container format. Like mp4.

    Both can include [file] resources, but that’s different from a file archive having and extracting to files.
