One of the most important illegal streaming sites in the world has just closed its doors without warning. Yes, we are talking about Soap2day!
Despite the growing popularity of online subscription video sites, illegal streaming remains significant, with large platforms persisting on the net. And today, it is one of them, namely Soap2day, which suddenly announces the end of its activity!
A little message and farewell
Some departures are made with great fanfare, and others through the back door. In general, in the world of pirates, it is this kind of resignation that is privileged, as the end of Soap2day shows again. Platform widely used in the United States and the United Kingdom to watch films and TV series, it has just ended its existence, leaving behind only a small message.
” Hello everyone: We have decided to close Soap2day forever. We are very sorry 🙂 Bye. It is with these few words that the website and most of the domain names affiliated with it come to an end. As a reminder, Soap2day had 110 million monthly visitors.
The consequence of the fight against illegal streaming?
What could be the reason for what looks very much like a hasty departure? If we are only here in the field of hypotheses, it seems clear that the fight against the posting of content whose copyrights are protected is surely the main reason for this withdrawal. The owners of the domain certainly had to face actions from the authorities, and preferred to leave before being seriously put in difficulty.
In France also the problem is the object of rigorous decisions. Even recently, the founders of the Zone-Téléchargement site were finally sentenced, after seven years of legal tribulations, while Dstorage has just lost its case against Nintendo and must now pay nearly half a million euros in damages and interests.
