I have never heard of Primewire but there were a bunch of movie/tv show streaming websites about a decade ago with direct streaming (like movie2k/movie4k) but they got busted HARD and IIRC the people behind them got long prison sentences.
Just this week I read the authorities had confiscated cryptocurrency valued at around 2 billion (!) euros from one of them currently still in jail.
Probably someone outside of Europe, that was Commodores main market. Especially the Amiga generation.
