Why do warez sites use subdomains like www5.domain.com?

[Ruriko]

Is there any reason why some warez sites using subdomains like www3.domain.com, www4.domain.com, www5.domain.com etc... is there any SEO beneficial for using www1 as the subdomain over a domain?

This is done solely for load balancing (add one server per subdomain) or geolocation (www1. for American visitors, www2 for European, etc.) purposes.

There's no benefit at all; it's probably even harming you. Since the subdomain is recognized as a separate website, your root domain won't benefit from it.

Today, this is quite a funny system of load distribution, how many should you have after www, for example, Google?

They bypass DMCA site delists by Google.

The lesson here is, don't do anything illegal and you won't have to think about those kinds of things.
