Just for the uninformed, i.e. me, what is the advantage of reclaiming these domain names? I would assume that they can somewhat be considered tainted in terms of the piracy world now anyways, and getting new domain names should be fairly easy as well, shouldn't it?

Brand recognition. Existing web links and references to it.

While the site swiftly moved to new domains, the old ones were pointing to a seizure banner.

Streameast ‘Reclaims’ Streameast.xyz

Their name is still the same as before. So it makes sense to reclaim it.
