Using browsers for this sort of thing is a bad idea. These sites are the easiest (and most important) to target by copyright holders. Sophisticated users use Kodi plugins, torrents over VPN, or private share servers / services. These users are nearly impossible to stop. Keeping easily accessible websites offline and off search engines is how you stop Joe Shmoe from piracy, plus there's a centralized single point of failure to take down.
- Gunax 5y agoWhy is it harder to stop because it's a plugin? I understand torrents (they are distributed) but do the plugins also use distributed content sources?
- zinekeller 5y ago... but they do use a more hybrid model (some for example combine P2P and DCMA-proof servers in eastern Europe).
- londons_explore 5y agoThe plugin will usually have triple redundant update mechanisms, so when the server is taken down or the domain siezed it can be put back up in a few hours, with the user not even noticing.
