ELI5: How do the big torrent uploaders like Yify, EZTV, etc, not get caught?

There can be many reasons:

- hiding behind a VPN or TOR or another proxy, or all of those; remember that there still are countries where piracy is not regulated by law
- initial seeding from a remote server
- actually living in a country with no laws against piracy
- all of the above

I also doubt that they are *that* heavily hunted for. The authorities have much bigger Internet problems like hacking, fraud, drug trade.
