Goodbye to free movies, series and football. One of the biggest internet piracy empires falls

The pirate content streaming landscape suffered a major setback with the announced closure of Cineby. This platform, which operated in the illegal distribution of films, series and sporting events, including football matches, recorded more than 160 million monthly visits on its main domain, making it one of the largest internet piracy empires. The announcement of the end of operations represents a significant victory for copyright holders and for the legitimate entertainment industry, which had long been fighting against this type of platform. The size of Cineby's audience demonstrates the massive demand for freely obtained illegally obtained content, highlighting the ongoing challenges that the streaming industry faces in combating digital piracy. This closure comes at a time when authorities and legal platforms are intensifying efforts to combat the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted content.
