Soap2Day was a movie and TV series streaming website on the internet that gave people free access to a vast collection of movies and shows, mostly without the proper licenses. It gained popularity because it allowed users to watch the latest films and TV series without having to subscribe. However, the site operated within an illegal area and was taken down by authorities on several occasions. How Soap2Day operated was by either hosting the videos or linking videos to third-party servers. Therefore, visitors could check out the titles available, choose a streaming link, and watch it right away through a browser without having to download the video. On average, the platform made money by showing commercials, displaying pop-up ads, and redirecting users to other pages, which, besides being annoying, could also lead to security and privacy issues for users.
