World’s largest piracy network [serving over 22 million users in Europe] taken down after 100 homes raided across 10 countries

It's unfair, they only wanted to train their new dataset to make a new GenAI competitor.

Wait how did this work? They were selling modified firetv sticks and set top boxes to access it and they ran their own infra to supply the streams? That much traffic should be pretty costly and not easy to hide, right?

Does anyone have more details?


Link doesn’t work if you have an ad block.

Works fine for me on both desktop and Android Firefox with Ublock Origin.
