Dumb question but why don’t the pirate sites all host on Azure if Cloudflare is blocked and Azure isn’t?

- tom1337 6mo agoi have no data to back this up but in the past cloudflare was much more lax with piracy sites and I can imagine that Azure is stricter with blocking them
- kjs3 6mo agoI would imagine they do. The people running the pirate sites know what they are doing. Noone who really wants to stream pirated games is stopped. Blocking CF is performative, not effective.
- fireant 6mo agoBesides the reasons already listed, Cloudflare is free, Azure is not. As a pirate site owner I imagine you don't want you payment information with your name associated with your pirate site. You can pay for hosting and dns with crypto.
