Russian missile strikes knock out popular piracy websites
Original: Russian missile strikes take out popular piracy websites
Russian missile strikes on Kyiv disrupted hosting providers, temporarily taking several popular torrent and piracy sites offline. Commenters are noting the irony that the war has achieved what copyright lobbyists and lawmakers have pursued for years but could not accomplish. Access to the affected trackers is expected to return once hosting is restored or mirrored.
Why now: The irony of military strikes accomplishing what anti-piracy legislation never could is drawing wide attention and debate online.
