Eli5 How are websites able to provide pirated content for free? Doesn’t it cost money to host the content, program and maintain the site etc?

Most content is not hosted on the site. It’s just a few pages with links. In the world of peer-to-peer sharing, the need for a single server housing all the pirated stuff is gone. Now, they just link you up with other users and you share things between yourselves. The cost of the site itself is minimal
