Online streaming has become one of the more popular trends of late, brought about with the advent of Netflix, Hulu and HBO streaming services, just to name a few. However, this trend also has brought an increased wave of online piracy as well.

Pirating online content has been a problem in recent years, costing studios millions of dollars in lost ticket sales and media providers streaming revenue. In 2016, the Motion Picture Association of America said that nearly $1 billion worth of pirated movies and TV shows were downloaded.

One of the more popular mediums for downloading and watching content is BitTorrent, which operates as a peer-to-peer file-sharing service. It is capable of distributing a massive amount of data over the internet.

Although it is widely known that many files are shared and downloaded illegally over this service, it still manages to operate. Authorities use the site as well to track some users who don’t hide their IP addresses via a proxy and nab them for illegally distributing or downloading this content.
