Can we consolidate identical streaming sites under the same group?

The streaming sites listed on https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv#streaming have plenty of duplicates. Essentially, they're the same sites with different names/skins but the exact same content.

It would be beneficial to the community if we could consolidate these down into groups according to which ones are the same.

We can still list all of them, but perhaps do it together so people don't waste their time trying out the same site under a different name.

It would also be beneficial to the copyright enforcement, as they could just take it all down in one move.
- So are you saying we shouldn’t group them together?
  
  Correct. Never put all your eggs in one basket
As the other person sarcastically implied, these sites are intentionally split to make it more difficult to take them all down at once. When one goes down another can pop up, and in the mean time the others are there, on and on forever.

  Do you know enough about copyright law to know whether or not an online list grouping them together will make it significantly easier for law enforcement to take them down?
  
  I feel like this is attempt of an "akswually" moment.
  
  No. We don't know about copyright law (and I'm sure you don't either) but based on previous precedent, it's not wise to put a everything in one since if something "happens" there will be no alternatives since..the sole source will be gone due to everything being grouped into the sole source.
  
  It's not a question of law. It's a question of logistics.
Isnt that basically what a number of kodi and stremio addons do?
