Something is fishy about this. Netflix's infrastructure is massive, and their bandwidth usage is a big chunk of the entire internet. How could this possibly go unnoticed for any amount of time?

I think it is in an error in the reporting. The press release from the FBI only mentions content, not subscribers.

I actually remember JetFlix and wondering how they had so much content. They were acting like a real company, IIRC.

More content than any of the silos seems plausible, since all they have to do is aggregate.

More paying subscribers would be a huge.

I'd imagine the "more subscribers than Netflix" is an inflated number
What if they were using something like webtorrent to reduce their bandwidth costs?
It's just a software in front of existing torrents.
