As for me I love to download files with crack license, sometimes I also think of the risk that my laptop might be compromise but when I tried one time and nothing happens to my files, I then continue to download more files/programs from different forums, what's important here is to always read the review and download only those files with good reviews.
Never put downloading/accessing files in a relationship of equality with file destruction/ransomware. Downloading a cracked game or software does not necessarily mean your computer will go crazy.
You are accessing
modified executable files that in most cases are not open-source. Bots exist, just visit YouTube for a minute and check how many fake Bitcoin giveaways there are out there. Does that make the giveaways legit? If you have used YT often before, have you ever seen suspicious videos with a lot of positive comments but if you wanted to comment it wouldn't allow you? You can call that fake positive reviews.
It could be a very sneaky virus that slowly downloads your data into a computer, but undetectable yet by an AV. Next thing you know, a few months/years later you create a BTC wallet and your money vanishes like magic. Thank those 'good reviews' you followed.
