Some warez groups take the precaution of using two copies of the video obtained from separate accounts/connections to make sure their sources aren't detectable via watermarks (like compromised hardware SKU for decrypting the high res streams). Some don't though, or just use compromised accounts for the service which don't tie back to them.
Depending on how much effort people invest, these copies on torrent sites will likely have some random users' product placement unless they bother doing the diff on two copies to remove the product placement. Might get weird if the different product placement affects the total number of frames in the video stream and stuff like that... I assume they'll just be pre-rendered (automated to a large extent) segments sitting on the CDN that get compiled into the M3U playlist of chunks sent to the client based on their ad profile when they initiate the stream. I'm surprised this wasn't done like 8 years ago, nothing's fundamentally changed technologically.
