U.S. and Bulgarian Law Enforcement Take Down Three of Europe's Largest Piracy Sites

U.S. authorities have executed seizure warrants against three domains allegedly involved in large-scale copyright infringement: zamunda[.]net, arenabg[.]com, and zelka[.]org.

The coordinated operation with Bulgarian law enforcement targeted sites that distributed pirated movies, TV shows, video games, software, e-books, and other content much of it owned by U.S. companies and individuals.

Court documents indicate the domains collectively received tens of millions of annual visits, hosted thousands of infringing works, and facilitated millions of downloads worth millions in retail value. The sites ranked among Bulgaria's most trafficked domains, with one consistently appearing in the country's top 10, generating substantial advertising revenue.

All three domains are now under U.S. government custody
