The Motion Pictures Association has recently succeeded in getting several websites that were dedicated to pirating online content and accumulating millions of visits blocked in Europe.

In the United Kingdom, there are six operators that control 90% of the network connections (BT, EE, Plusnet, Sky, TalkTalk and Virgin Media) and to the complaints presented by Columbia Pictures, Disney Enterprises, Netflix Studios, Paramount Pictures, Universal City Studios and Warner Bros, five web portals will be blocked for transmitting illegal content from movies and series.

At the top of the list is Tinyzonetv.to., Which receives a total of 16.5 million visitors per month, of which 13.5% come from the United States and 13% from the United Kingdom. More than 250,000 films and subtitled chapters in dozens of languages ​​are available on this portal. Although this page had already received claims for its closure at the beginning of the year, it was still in operation.

In second place we have Watchserieshd.tv, which accumulates 10 million visits per month, of which 18% of its traffic comes from the United Kingdom. This page since 2020 has been monitored by the authorities after they will request information from Cloudflare to identify their operators.

In third place is Levidia.ch, which adds 4.5 million visitors per month and began operating in June 2021. This portal was the new domain of the Levidia.to web.

In fourth place on the list is 123movies.online and 123moviesfun.ch, which link to the same domain and have a million visits per month, most of which come from the United States (30%), with 16% from United Kingdom.

Finally at number five stands out Europixhd.net, which currently receives 750,000 visits, and previously had 2.3 million in April, which shows that blocking pirated websites has brought good results.

It is important to note that web page blocking is the most widely used method par excellence today to prevent users from accessing pirated web pages. With these blocks, the anti-piracy associations do not have to sue the managers of the portals, speeding up the process and reducing the spread of pirated content.
