Right now, dozens of domains linked to live football piracy sites are redirecting to the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment. Domains began displaying the ACE seizure banner on Saturday and the list has been growing ever since.

Maybe they pissed off an ex CIA agent who now works there.

And he knows how many seconds it'll take to kill a room of armed thugs

Seizing domains is HUGE blow but never a "Total Destruction". Such ring is not operated by single enthusiast, it's runned by a team of professional pirate siteops who do this for pretty comfortable living and who foresee such risks and have a plan for this type of incident. And i'm sure they have another bunch of domains already registered and fed to google. There's no significant difference between getting domain banned in the country from where 95% of traffic is coming (and this is frequent issue) and loosing this domain at all. Your traffic is gone, your money is gone. So seizing domains without busting servers and siteops is far from winning final battle.

There should be an open source p2p application kind of like torrent, but for live streaming things

It's here for ages and it's called sopcast. I was using it decade ago for soccer translations before moving to IPTV. After quick googling i see it's still a thing.

Do you have some IPTV recs? DM if you're not cool with posting here. Thanks!

Where's the source code?

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

AceStream?

The performance wasn't good.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

If we had source code maybe I could fix the issue, but some adware piece of shit program that barely works is not the solution.

Carrot and stick - no loss.

Stop watching this crap
