"The group used “sophisticated computer scripts” and software to scour piracy services"
They used the basic tools that most(?) pirates use today like sonarr and radar??
I don't mind people pirating...i do mind people pirating and profiting from redistribution.
Oh I don't care that the IP owner don't get money.
IDK, I just don't like the ethics of pirating media for profit, the entire idea is that it should be accessible to everyone, not just those with money. Cover your operational cost? Sure....Making millions in subscriptions? That is an asshole move IMO. If you're paying, you might as well pay the people who are making the media in the first place instead of some rando that had nothing to do with it.
