My advise if you want to work on a personal project which can be tied to piracy or copyright infringement is to avoid associating your real identity to it. I heard too many stories about experienced devs not getting any job offers or otherwise shafted due to past involvements with these kind of projects. For example, people suspect that Microsoft's decision cancel AppGet acquisition (and create WinGet instead) and shafted its developer (forcing him to kill AppGet) was due to his past contribution to Sonarr (a popular tool than can be used for piracy mentioned by others in this thread).
