Right now, dozens of domains linked to live football piracy sites are redirecting to the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment. Domains began displaying the ACE seizure banner on Saturday and the list has been growing ever since.
And here i thought my local hardware store had defeated some huge piracy ring…
Maybe they pissed off an ex CIA agent who now works there.
And he knows how many seconds it’ll take to kill a room of armed thugs
my same exact thought lmao
It’s real to me, dammit!
Mrow
Carrot and stick - no loss.
Stop watching this crap
There should be an open source p2p application kind of like torrent, but for live streaming things
AceStream?
The performance wasn’t good.
Seizing domains is HUGE blow but never a “Total Destruction”. Such ring is not operated by single enthusiast, it’s runned by a team of professional pirate siteops who do this for pretty comfortable living and who foresee such risks and have a plan for this type of incident. And i’m sure they have another bunch of domains already registered and fed to google. There’s no significant difference between getting domain banned in the country from where 95% of traffic is coming (and this is frequent issue) and loosing this domain at all. Your traffic is gone, your money is gone. So seizing domains without busting servers and siteops is far from winning final battle.
