    People thought hosting copyrighted content on someone’s cloud and making it available to others was a good idea? 🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

    This is why we can’t have nice things.

      It’s specifically people doing this and selling access to the servers en masse, like these servers have a hundred or more users each. The don’t care about the small fish that are doing this privately for no monetary gain.
