In Q2 2025, anti-piracy coalition Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment continued to 'seize' domains in bulk, adding to the world's largest collection of former pirate domains maintained by the MPA.

With all these domains they are continuing to seize and then need to continue to renew, at what point does a bean counter tell them it's unsustainable? I also wonder how many sites just don't get renewed because they slipped through the cracks like certs sometimes do.
