    Takedowns are the bane of piracy. Russian domain owners don’t get as much legal pressure by the state to act on takedown notices, therefore Russian domains bring a little bit of resistance.

    Sidenote, .su used to belong to the ussr but it was never really released and it’s assignment is in a geopolitical limbo, so that domain is even more shady. It’s an interesting story.

    P.s. If I got any of this wrong please correct me.

    Russia pirating everything is why the R5 DVD was a thing. Usually rushed out before any other region to try and stop them pirating a movie.

    All of a sudden? I’ve always known Russia to be a common source for torrent content, especially repacks.
