I hope you registered that domain anonymously. And the hosting too. Also related: Popcorn Time

I'll just wait for the indictment and story to pop up on ARS.

OT: Guess I am missing something but who is actually watching torrents (or has the time) in times of Netflix, Twitch, Youtube, Fortnite?

Not all good shows and movies are legally available around the world, so even if you had the money to pay you can't. Youtube and twitch are limited, you can;t watch a good SciFi movie on youtube .

Probably people who don't want to watch the same movies/shows over and over.

Obviously do not do anything with US based companies. Find registrars and hosts that accept bitcoin. Find hosts that do not have to comply with DMCA and do not do so voluntarily.

Have a backup plan ready for when you get taken down.
