It's real to me, dammit!
Mrow
my same exact thought lmao
Maybe they pissed off an ex CIA agent who now works there.
And he knows how many seconds it'll take to kill a room of armed thugs
Seizing domains is HUGE blow but never a "Total Destruction". Such ring is not operated by single enthusiast, it's runned by a team of professional pirate siteops who do this for pretty comfortable living and who foresee such risks and have a plan for this type of incident. And i'm sure they have another bunch of domains already registered and fed to google. There's no significant difference between getting domain banned in the country from where 95% of traffic is coming (and this is frequent issue) and loosing this domain at all. Your traffic is gone, your money is gone. So seizing domains without busting servers and siteops is far from winning final battle.
There should be an open source p2p application kind of like torrent, but for live streaming things
It's here for ages and it's called sopcast. I was using it decade ago for soccer translations before moving to IPTV. After quick googling i see it's still a thing.
Do you have some IPTV recs? DM if you're not cool with posting here. Thanks!
Where's the source code?
AceStream?
The performance wasn't good.
If we had source code maybe I could fix the issue, but some adware piece of shit program that barely works is not the solution.
