  • Well, movie streaming services are maybe the most expencive to run as they require CDN infrastructure. CDN is server network where films are hosted and from where films are streamed by end users. CDN consist of servers with a lot of webspace and with fast connection, also those servers are spread across the globe: for example, if three different users from Melbourne, London and New York stream same movie in same quality from some top pirate streaming website, they might be connected to three different servers (each of this servers would have fastest speed for corresponding end user). Needless to say, running a full scale CDN for popular movie streaming website is not possible for random enthusiast. So such websites are owned by pirate enterpises which convert seo traffic to money through advertising of services which are impossible to promote using legal channels (primarly illegal gambling operators, but also forex, hyip and another types of scams). You can try to rent CDN api access (or even whitelabel with some codebase), as CDN owners sometimes offer that on blackhat boards. But you should keep in mind that renting CDN/whitelabel is illegal deal paid in cryptocurrency: you have a chance to get a proper service to built your own website and you have a chance to be scammed. What i’ve said above is only related to all-genres libraries. If you have some very limited project (like South Park fansite and only want to stream this show episodes and nothing more) then everything is by far easier.




  • Why the hell this comment has no upvotes? It’s the only reasonable advice in entire thread. If you wanna run piracy related project you need special paid hosting, any free hosting would close your account after the first copyright abuse complaint. I have my own very small torrent tracker as pet project that i happily host at vdsina service and their terms clearly says that they would ignore any copyright complaint which is not backed by Russian police/court (meaning all DMCAs are going directly to recycle bin). There’s plenty of alternatives which offer the same, some of them would also allow you to pay their services in cryptocurrency and you won’t have to use your credit card.







  • Piracy movie streaming websites rely on CDN servers to exist. This are servers where films are hosted and from where films are streamed. This is very big infrastructure investment (by far bigger than is required to run popular torrent tracker) which is not possible for random pirate enthusiast with web develolment skills. This means that most of those sites are run by pirate enterprises (it’s known fact that most of those CDNs are sponsored by illegal gambling operators that’s why many of pirate streaming cinema is spammed with casino advertising). So most of similiar looking streaming sites are whitelabels: this means they have same owners, common CDN, same backend and only differ with domains, frontend skins and also they could have a bit different films in database. Such sites are created to get most of free traffic from search engines (so if positions of one site would drop, other site from same owners could raise and compensate this drop).
