How do “free” movie/tv streaming websites work?

265 viewsOther

If you type “watch online” after any movie title in google, you can find a tonne of free streaming sites.

But i’v always wanted to know how it operates. If a movie is just released, there is usually a cam version of the film where someone is recording the screen. Then after a while they get a HD version. Usually before I ever see it advertised on a legit streaming service. How do they get the HD copy so quick?

And how do they keep the websites running? Shouldn’t they be getting shut down every time for illegal streaming?

They do get shutdown. They just pop up on a different provider. Sometimes with a different URL though it is clearly the exactly same site. How they get paid is selling ad space and hosting malware.
