Russian missile strikes knock out popular piracy websites
Original: Russian missile strikes take out popular piracy websites
Russian missile strikes on Kyiv disrupted major torrent trackers and piracy sites, taking large portions of them offline. The strikes hit hosting infrastructure in the Ukrainian capital, and the outages are described as temporary. Commenters noted the irony that the war briefly accomplished what years of anti-piracy legislation and enforcement could not: silencing widely used file-sharing sites.
Why now: The irony that a military strike achieved what anti-piracy laws never could is striking and widely shared.
