    Isn’t that just asking for trouble? From the Real-Debrid TOS:

    The User acknowledges not to use our service to download copyright infringement digital files punishable by a suspension of his account and reporting to competent organizations and authorities

    Logging policy is not great:

    Files links that Users download are stored in a database for legal concerns and our internal use. All saved links are erased within 1 month for security reasons and service needs. However all requests made on our site are stored for 1 year, the legal retention period.

    Doesn’t look like you can sign up anonymously (unless you consider bitcoin and email anonymous, which they’re generally not).

    How long until they get raided?

      I suppose it depends on your jurisdiction. Uploading is what’s (potentially) illegal in Canada. Downloading is (probably) legal.

      And neither have been tried by courts because mass John Doe suits have been shut down by our courts.

      Regardless, the legal risk of downloading here is basically zero, so there’s effectively no risk to using a debrid service.
