As the title says. do you guys know any pirate sites which have released their logistics, like cost of the servers, video servers etc. how much it costs to run them.

I have bee looking into a few offshore DMCA ignored hosts and wanted to compare.

If you go off of the streaming services (like 123movies or something), they upload the downloaded files to 2+ video hosting websites, then display the links. They also have a shit ton of ads, so I guess they do get profit by how long they seem to last.
