The information was shared by lawyer Vo Trung Tin at the launch event of the Institute of Copyright Technology and Digital Assets, held in Ho Chi Minh City on the morning of March 20.

According to Tin, although the platform previously announced it would cease operations, it remains active. Emerging in late 2024 and expanding rapidly throughout 2025, the site has accumulated 103.3 million visits, with an average of 34.46 million monthly visits and 2.9 million unique users. It currently ranks 1,367 globally and 19th in Vietnam.

The total number of films infringing copyright on the platform has reached 18,077 titles. Most of these are feature films from the US, China, the UK, South Korea and Japan, accounting for 14,594 titles, while television series make up 3,483 titles.

The forms of copyright infringement are extensive and highly damaging to individuals and organizations. These include simultaneous release of blockbuster films alongside official paid platforms, rapid distribution of theatrical releases through leaked cam or HD versions within just a few days to a week, and illegal livestreaming by capturing and rebroadcasting copyrighted signals.

The platform also distributes banned content, deliberately hosting films that have been prohibited by authorities, including those containing sensitive elements such as the “nine-dash line.”

To expand its reach, the platform leverages social media networks to attract users, including a Facebook fanpage with over 430,000 followers, a Threads account with more than 71,700 followers, as well as YouTube, TikTok and X. It also uses Discord, with more than 23,000 members, and Telegram, with over 3,300 members, to communicate with users, provide instructions on bypassing restrictions, offer VPN access and announce backup domains when blocked.

Tin noted that the platform employs a sophisticated distributed system to evade censorship. Its domain names change continuously, with new ones replacing those that are blocked. Meanwhile, subdomains route data through a central API domain that displays no content when accessed, making it extremely difficult for authorities to shut down.

The platform’s main sources of revenue come from gambling advertisements and VIP membership subscriptions.

By operating across websites and mobile applications, the platform has caused significant losses to international organizations such as Netflix, Disney and Sony Pictures, as well as domestic providers like FPT and MyTV.
