  Online video piracy (OVP) is a contentious topic, with strong proponents on
both sides of the argument. Recently, a number of illegal websites, called
streaming cyberlockers, have begun to dominate OVP. These websites specialise
in distributing pirated content, underpinned by third party indexing services
offering easy-to-access directories of content. This paper performs the first
exploration of this new ecosystem. It characterises the content, as well the
streaming cyberlockers' individual attributes. We find a remarkably centralised
system with just a few networks, countries and cyberlockers underpinning most
provisioning. We also investigate the actions of copyright enforcers. We find
they tend to target small subsets of the ecosystem, although they appear quite
successful. 84% of copyright notices see content removed.
