null them yourself and you wont have a problem or get them from a trusted source like @Festinger vault.But yeah usually it is because people download from shady sources.

First of all, why do people null plugins? Just to distribute them for free??
Nope.
Nulled plugins are profitable. How? Think about it before you use one.

Don’t use nulled plugins if you don’t know what you’re doing. Most of them will probably have some additional code i.e. for backlinking, data collection or hacking your site. Trusted sources are debatable too because you can’t trust strangers on the internet no matter how reputable they are.
My solution if you want premium plugin for cheap is to look people on fiverr who sell their infinite license for €5 or so.

Nulled themes are illegal, simply because they are a good that has been stolen by removing the license key and other copyrighted materials.

Generally, on BHW, you won't find malicious plugins/scripts but please respect the developer by not using nulled plugins/themes.

It’s false. The vast majority of WP themes and plugins are under GPL license. It means that is not illegal to edit, change or share it. Basically the license is for support.

Never use these. Just get them yourself from the actual devs.

Yap, in 99.99% cases you will be hacked. When I was solo affilaite in Amazon, i give up because I was on hostagator and nulled plugins, i drop all websites, even if they made $500 monthly passive, i just give up. So from now I build my personal code, no using plugins at all, or if something is to complicated i just purchased it. And never use shared hosting servers, Hatzner and Digital Ocean are solutions. From then i don’t have any problems.

Nulled WordPress themes are a very serious security risk. WordPress themes are generally safe when kept up-to-date. Pirated WordPress themes, however, pose a dual security threat: Pirated WordPress themes/nulled WordPress themes can include compromised or malicious code.

A lot of plugins does not need to be "nulled"
Using "pirated/nulled" or non-nulled/original plugins and themes for WordPress is totally up to you, since they are all GPL licensed, since the authors have issued the GPL license on their work, as it is a must for selling and giving out WordPress plugins and themes to the public.
So use ANY publicly available WordPress plugin or theme as much as you want, authors can not do anything about it, you pay for upgrades and support, thats it.
Just make sure your not downloading plugins/themes from shady suppliers, download from trusted members here on the forum or buy them from @Festinger if you do not know who is trusted here in the forum, normal members are as trusted as premium members, there are scumbags in both categories .. Just a reminder .. =)
