The raids against pirate IPTV do not stop happening.These pirate services are the target of many security forces and entities that want to root them out, something that seems to be quite complicated, since when one of these services dies, others appear to take their place.In 2020, a very large raid took place against one of these services that ended with its alleged leader captured;however, this service is still working normally.We tell you more about this case.This raid resulted, as we will see later, with several arrests around the world and the seizure of a significant sum of money.Despite this, the service is currently operating with the same normality with which it operated before said raid.As we told you at the beginning of this article, in 2020 an international macro raid took place that occurred simultaneously in Spain, Denmark, Sweden and Germany.This raid resulted in 11 detainees who were allegedly behind a pirate IPTV platform with two million subscribers.As part of the operation, the police seized more than 4.8 million euros in property, jewelry and even cryptocurrencies.In a Europol statement, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation specified that "50 IP addresses and part of the criminal online infrastructure" had been removed.The most curious thing about this statement is that there was no mention of the IPTV platform in question that had been eliminated, simply references were made to one without any name.This raid, in fact, resulted in the arrest of the alleged leader of this organization, known as "Dash The Iranian".This ringleader, whose real name is Amir Zalaghi, is the central figure of the police investigation in our country.He would have been able to pocket at least 15 million euros in the two years before the police raid took place, an impressive figure.As we have said before, neither the police nor any police body involved in this raid revealed which service had been the one that had suffered this great blow, but according to Torrentfreak it is RapidIPTV, one of the most popular pirate IPTVs that exist in the landscape.This mega raid should have been able to take this root service down, but nothing could be further from the truth.To this day, the RapidIPTV service (whether in the .com or .net domain) continues to function in the same way as it has always done.It is true that the raid caused the service to go offline for a short period of time, but it was insignificant considering the magnitude of the international raid.This service is also well known because it also resells its services to other platforms.According to the Spanish prosecutor's office, the movie services offered through the main domain and the other domains were available on approximately 1,000 other websites.In 2020, 50 servers on this platform were attacked, something that would mean death for other platforms, but not for RapidIPTV.Torrentfreak points out that the service would have 40 server farms spread across 14 different countries, ready to go in case a server goes down.The Spanish justice refers to this service as a pirate "franchise", since it allows resellers to create their own branded service as a subsidiary of the main platform.People who resell subscriptions to this pirate IPTV have access to a series of tools that allow them to manage it as if it were their own business, but without having to worry about the content.This shows that the blow suffered by this pirate platform did nothing more than scratch the surface of everything behind it, a clear example of what we mean when we say that it is very difficult to end this type of service.
