High-quality 1080p or 4K streaming requires approximately 8-15 Mbps per user. A single pirate server might have a 1 Gbps uplink. That server can only support roughly 80-100 simultaneous users before choking. When a free code is posted on a public forum with 50,000 members, the server is overwhelmed in minutes. Result? Endless buffering, freezes, and the infamous "404 Not Found."
