I don't think it's expensive, once you've the software:
1- regularly pull the torrent IDs from the latest releases on most popular torrenting website
2- download and stream the movies
3- wait for German IPs to connect
4- filter out IPs behind a VPN
5- identify the IP provider
6- send the request, probably by Email
7- profit
Not sure how advanced the software, but I don't see much manual input needed, it must be actually very lucrative
> Can't believe the so called "privacy conscious" German public are okay with this invasiveness
Nothing against Germans but there is a lot of hypocrisy in their society:
- Energiewende vs. shutting down Nuclear Plants and turning on Coal
- Green cars vs. 300km/h on the Autobahn
- Go to a restaurant in a big German city, guys tell you they don't accept cards, then hand write the bill on a napkin (...) vs. Greece where restaurants are legally obliged to accept cards and if they don't, then you can just walk out without paying (!..) (all this since the EU driven by Germany bailed Greece out)
