Finally, the term "link" signifies the method of delivery. Once a file is ripped, translated, and compressed, it must be hosted. In the economy of piracy, "link protectors" or "link shorteners" (often referred to as "min" or minimized links) are used. These services obscure the actual destination URL (such as a Mega.nz, Google Drive, or cyberlocker link). This is done to prevent the link from being taken down by automated copyright bots. The "min link" is the final barrier between the user and the content, often bypassed by navigating through layers of advertisements and captchas.
