    Remember when they found out the dudes behind piratebay were like 3-5 hacktivist friends who made it in their free time lol?

    Also what illegal subscriptions. Do they really think people pirate content for it to be sold and not shared?

      People who pirate content don’t do it for free. It might be news to you, but piracy is a huge business.

        Not for every average Hollywood movie ever.

        There’s so many acronyms for the source because of how many people independently rip, not even including cam rips.

        Now if it’s some big gun software like cobalt strike, then sure yeah people definitely charge.

        But Movie and TV pirating is so easy, people regularly make their own rips and torrents.
