As the title says. do you guys know any pirate sites which have released their logistics, like cost of the servers, video servers etc. how much it costs to run them.

I have bee looking into a few offshore DMCA ignored hosts and wanted to compare.

I think the pirate bay did did that, but I'm not sure. I do know that they're very open about stuff like that, so there's a good chance there. I'm sure I've seen a couple revealing "we got this dmca and this is what we did" posts from them. That was years ago thoigh.

If I remember correctly it was something as follows"

TPB's tactic was to tell them to essentially fuck off we're not in your country nor are we hosting anything more than a search engine. At least till they finally got dragged into court in their country where they got some prison time and fines and moved to a .to domain in lieu of .org.
