The US Department of Commerce published a new version of the
Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets report with a list of the largest pirate points in the world, online and offline. Two years ago, this list featured the Gorbushka market and the AllOfMP3 store. Now there are new characters, but a significant part of the list is still occupied by Russian and Chinese sites.
With them, the United States will wage war at the political level, as was the case with Allofmp3, because they directly threaten the American economy. The closure of Allofmp3 five years ago was one of the prerequisites for Russia's accession to the WTO. True, Russia still has not entered there, but that is another question.
Here are the selected places from the report.
