U.S. and Bulgarian authorities, with Europol support, seized three major piracy domains—zamunda.net, arenabg.com, and zelka.org—disrupting services that offered thousands of unauthorized movies, shows, games, and software. The operation, supported by the IPR Center and ICHIP, underscores growing international cooperation against commercial online piracy and remains under active investigation. #zamunda_net #IPRCenter

Keypoints

Three U.S.-registered domains allegedly operated from Bulgaria were seized: zamunda.net, arenabg.com, and zelka.org.
Authorities linked the sites to tens of millions of annual visits and millions of illegal downloads.
The platforms reportedly generated substantial ad revenue and caused multimillion-dollar retail losses.
Bulgarian agencies, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, HSI, Europol, and CBP coordinated the takedown.
The IPR Center and ICHIP will continue supporting investigations and international enforcement.
