I'm betting half of those are the typical piratesite103.com domains; which after domain seizure moves to piratesite104.com within minutes.
even worse, they counted individual subdomains.
those numbers are a complete and utter nothingburger.
As in, piratesite.com/torrent1 and piratesite.com/torrent2?
close but not quite.
from the examples its more like:
Aig2ooCa.geeGhou9.piratesite.to
Aig2ooCa.baaSaic8r.piratesite.to
now i dont know much about iptv, which is aparently the bulk of this list,
so take this with a grain of salt.
but i would assume that one of those ids is a stream id,
while the other one is an id/timestamp for individual part of the stream.
so if my guess is right it might be even more meaningless.
namely a list of 10k individual pieces of streams instead of a list of 10k torrents
Those are urls, sobdomains are socker.piratesite.com and games.piraresite.com .
Hey don’t tell them our secret tricks!
It amazes me that the majority of sites taken down are just to watch live sports, mainly (actual) football. There's a lot of money to gain from pirating that stuff, huh.
TV rights for football are ridiculously expensive so it makes sense that they'd need to curb as much piracy as they can to make the most of that.
They demand >6-figure €s for broadcasting rights in Germany
