linux isnt immune to viruses even though its not as bad as windows

what should i do to be safe if i have a safe browser, vm, but pirate and download risky things? i know its a vm but i still dont want to have to delete everything in the vm if something happens. also the malware doesnt go to the router and spread rigt????

What they could see is the transmission over the internet to the tablet. If they detect torrent activity to the tablet, it wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out where the files went, and it wouldn’t even matter because the crime is in the transmission. They wouldn’t even have to raid your house or anything, they would just sue you and show IP logs.
