I'd like to say I was half-joking but some of the games and movies I've pirated have directly affected the performance of my CPU (like 100% CPU usage under light loads)

Edit: I was wrong about movies having mining software packed in but I'm leaving the original comment up

You have never downloaded a movie that negatively affected your CPU performance. A movie (i.e. mkv file) cannot do this.
