Demon Slayer anime has gained so much popularity among the anime community since its release in 2019. However, its popularity also led to the series being pirated by torrent websites.
Demon Slayer torrent leaked on websites, apps, and telegram channels
The Kimetsu no Yaiba manga and anime is so popular that it raked in an estimated ¥1 trillion in 2020 alone. This success inevitably led a lot of pirating sites to upload the episodes for free on their websites and apps. Sites like AniRena and torrent apps like stremio have all the seasons of the anime in HD and 1080p. All of which are free to download. It can easily be accessed with a VPN and a torrent downloader like Utorrent.
Demon Slayer anime is made and produced by the studio Ufotable. The anime is praised for its epic animations and outstanding character design. It has been praised for its seamless transitions in the animation of breathing techniques and action sequences. As a result of the wonderful quality control in animation and an already exciting storyline, it has been praised as the best anime series of the 2010s.

It takes hundreds of thousands of dollars to make and produce a single episode of such good quality. Pirating such an anime will not only lead to a lot of financial losses but is also an insult to the effort of everyone involved in the process of animation and production.
Dangers of Pirating
It isn’t the first anime to be pirated and probably won’t be the last. Famous animes such as Attack on Titan, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, and so many others have been a victim of pirating. Some of them are now available for free on YouTube from official sources such as Viz Media. Hopefully, this will reduce the pirating of some anime.
Downloading from third-party servers and websites can come with a lot of dangers. If you are not careful, it could lead to you downloading malware that can harm your computer. Sometimes it can expose your personal information for hackers to access without your knowledge. Torrent websites are also notorious for their inappropriate advertising content. Clicking on such ads can lead to downloading harmful viruses and completely ruining your computer.

One must be very careful while pirating. Some pirating sites are also used as a front for other crimes by criminals. Organized crime gangs will use these sites as a forefront for money laundering and use the money gained from them for other malicious crimes. You might be indirectly funding crimes and you won’t even be aware of it.
If only people knew the dangers of pirating content on the internet. Some of y'all even talk openly about it on social media. #LastRT
