Hacking of Popular Movie Streaming Sites - LetMeWatchThis, 1Channel.ch & PrimeWire

It’s not unusual for file-sharing sites to undergo a change of leadership following momentous events, but just how easy is it to take control of one by force? Today TorrentFreak speaks with the admin of PrimeWire, the new name for LetMeWatch this and 1Channel, who has had an astonishing three domains hijacked from three separate registrars during the last two years.

From the owner of primewire.ag

LetMeWatchThis.com – Hijacked in 2012, still hijacked – AVOID
LetMeWatchThis.ch – Hijacked in 2013, now retrieved – BACK IN SAFE HANDS
1Channel.ch – Hijacked in 2013, now frozen – FROZEN
Vodly.to – Owned by hijackers – AVOID
PrimeWire.ag – Hijacked in 2013, now retrieved – BACK IN SAFE HANDS (Official site)

Sounds to me like a sale occurred at some point or another.

You simply don't have this many domains "hijacked". There are too many elements at play here for this to simply be the case.
 
If it's true, how to protect it? And why would they change the domain name when they can just change the personal details? Seems like I don't get the point here.
