minecraft-mod-manager VS Illegal-Mod-Sites

Found this.. Will update if it works, hopefully.

There are a couple of sites hosting mods without authors permissions etc, sometimes claiming to have mods that don't even exist. Make sure to avoid all sites listed here: https://stopmodreposts.org/

See https://stopmodreposts.org/

Im aware of this site (https://stopmodreposts.org/) but I was wondering if any sites in the past had actually been taken down/removed, or removed specific mods upon authors requests.

Where to get mods? Most important bit first - https://stopmodreposts.org/ There's a lot of websites that claim to be hosting mods but are actually full of shit. They are lying about the mod, or worse, tricking people into downloading malware/viruses.

According to https://stopmodreposts.org/ - it is not safe.

Fighting them is kind of pointless since the owner is often in a country that doesn't care about copyright, and if they get removed from Google they'll just spin up a new site within a few hours. The best way to fight them is by teaching new members of the community to avoid them. https://stopmodreposts.org/

Yeah... stay away from whatever website that is. You should generally only get your mods from CurseForge or Modrinth. The overwhelming vast majority of other sites are illegal reposts (https://stopmodreposts.org/).
