Sure, but each case has to be tried on its own merits. It’s a cat and mouse game, not a certainty of enforcement. I wouldn’t be surprised to see that behavior of pirate streaming sites such as clones and (modified) limited hangouts as aspects of strategies to combat enforcement while segmenting the market to increase profits and/or limit exposure to downside risks. Debrid services act as a shared cache of requested torrents/magnet links as well as digital locker services sold as upsells on a premium tier. It’s facilitated as a WebDAV API and/or direct HTTPS downloads generated via unique hashlists that encode magnet links. It can be incorporated into search addons for things like Stremio or Kodi or Jellyfin or Plex so it’s basically just-in-time streaming from a cache that just-in-time downloads a torrent or digital locker file, backed by a time-based cache that usually is provided by the debrid provider, similar to how paid newsgroup providers advertise retention, but also with downward pressure to avoid long-lived links to avoid DMCA takedowns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_hangout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_segmentation |
