So the MPA will shut down now, right?
Mission accomplished!
This sounds a bit like declaring victory in the war on drugs after shutting down one (1) cocaine operation
Yes, I literally laughed aloud. The sheer arrogance in certainty projected is a dead giveaway.
so called mothership being taken down meanwhile I am about to watch a newly downloaded show once my breakfast is done
Private tracker I’ve been using for like 17 years still works.
I’ve head about private tackers forever, is it that much better than public? I have never really had an issue with public trackers ,but also never had an invite to a private one
IMO, yes. Just for the consistency of quality and absence of fuckery. Damn near any TV show/movie/documentary is on there in at least 1080p, usually in 4K for newer stuff. For music I use SoulSeek and for eBooks I use LibGen.
Ditto.
17 years is a pretty good record. Site must have been built with some damn good fake doors.
The mothership is down? I didn’t even notice.
Winnin piracy just like they winnin the war on drugs
Cool,so we can defund the MPA now that their job is done.
It is done, right?
Right?
It’s not like it’s a government agency, it’s a film company group. Defund it by never paying for a movie and getting everyone everywhere to never pay for a movie
If that’s what you want to believe then I will not be the one to stop you :)
My go to site is still up and has most of what I’m looking for. So much for that lmao.
Literally every site in my regular rotation is completely unaffected lol.
Fmovies? Never heard of… wait, sorry, what I meant to say was OH NO!!! Not Fmovies!!! Guess I’m going to have to buy everything now!!!11!1
Arr.
F
Movies
pirates just need to for a while pretend to post in a way that piracy is really no more so they stop doing anything about it.
Make MoviePass Great Again!
I think I2P will get a new wave of users willing to pirate stuff
I doubt it. Streaming sites like Fmovies are used almost entirely by technologically illiterate users. It’s for people who want to pirate, but don’t want to learn anything.
These users are going to remain helpless until the next malware-laden streaming website enters their lives.
They’re not about to install additional software to try to access anything, or at least not software like I2P or BitTorrent, because that would require effort and some amount of technical understanding to accomplish.
This is like wondering why so many people still use Twitter two years into Elon’s hostile takeover. People will resign themselves to defeat if it saves them from having to learn anything new.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know about fmovies until everyone started talking about it here recently. I’ve just used Torrent sites for downloading, and Stremio for streaming and I have not noticed much hiccups.
What they took down is an easily accessible public server that hosts content itself and is accessed by tens of thousands of technologically illiterate people via their phones - with no VPN - constantly. These folks are streaming movie after movie, 720p cam jobs, making these sites light up like the 4th of July (or like a Christmas tree, whatever reference works for you).
Makes sense, though that just gives the impression that this site isn’t anything special. I swear there’s a million and a half streaming sites by now, and I would bet everyone using FMovies has found clones or alternatives (if they didn’t already know of some).
Maybe. I know several technotards who think they’ve discovered black magic because of an Ebaums World quality site where they have to watch 20 ads per shitty 720p movie and they run around telling everyone they meet about the site. These sites spring up, spread like fire, and get merkd fast af. Meanwhile torrent sites last YEARS by being a little more underground.
Fighting piracy is like a caveman with a pointy stick trying to fight a 3 headed hydra from Greek mythology. The only way for them to truly defeat the hydra is an idea they would never accept because they aren’t allowed to treat customers/consumers as people.
Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Disney, Fox, HBO, Hulu, MGM, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount, Sony, and Warner Bros.
Joke’s on you MPA, I don’t watch any modern trash produced by these “entertainment” companies.
