Hello BHW,

sorry if this is in wrong section, but couldn't find any that would fit my question.

Recently I stumbled upon movie/anime streaming sites and looked how they provide the videos. Many of those sites are using Google Cloud Storage to host their videos (example: https://storage.googleapis.com/careful-shadow-311510/4FZCW6R6O3Q/22m_1621987890343320.mp4). Now my question is - how do they do it? I think it that they don't pay for it themselves because it's copyrighted content. They somehow get free storage in there and don't get videos removed.

Does anyone have any knowledge about this? I thought about these possibilities:
1) they create many accounts that get like 50gb free storage, and store videos on different accounts (10 videos per account or so) - this should be hard as creating many accounts on google in itself is hard
2) they pay with stolen CC
3) they exploit some student/business account

If anyone knows something about this please let me know. If this is a well kept secret - I'm willing to pay accordingly.

And btw, if anyone knows about good exploit on google drive/photos etc to store videos with unlimited bandwidth, please reply too.

Thank you for your input!
 
I know of a way to get unlimited google drive storage space, if that's what you're looking for.

Clario :)

I know about edu, shared drives and business accounts on Google Drive for unlimited storage, but I'm looking for Google Cloud Platform (https://cloud.google.com/storage).
Google Drive is unreliable, you can't use unlimited bandwidth anymore, you need a proxy server and you need to deal with video converting downtime after upload + many errors.
Google Cloud Storage is just upload raw file and play without limits (that's what I'm thinking - they get around storage and bandwidth pricing)
 
Ohh, I totally thought you were talking about google drive storages lol. My bad!
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Clario :)
