Following a formal notice from the FNEF (https://fnef.fr/les-adherents/), Real-Debrid is strengthening its anti-piracy measures. As you already know, we actively comply with DMCA and are already blocking a certain number of infringing torrents. In the coming hours: - audiovisual files available on a number of cyberlockers listed on the USTR blacklist or listed in the European "CCounterfeit and Piracy Watch List" will all be blocked. - a filtering by file name will also be applied, in accordance with the request of the FNEF, this may unfortunately lead to false positives that we will process manually. - a blocking of all torrents hashes of private torrent trackers mentioned in cases at the Paris judicial court - a complete purge of files potentially cached on the previously mentioned criteria - the deactivation of the API endpoint /instantAvaibility - a blocking of counterfeit Kodi / Stremio applications to the extent that they are identifiable

Eh, I won't die over 20$, it's due to something out of their control that anyone could have seen coming, and I've been quite the satisfied customer since I've been using Real-Debrid. I wouldn't judge anyone for doing a chargeback, but I personally don't really feel the urge to do so.

That is true, $20 isn't much in this day and age. It's not something you're going to die over or be in trouble without. I would still do it mainly out of principle since I'd rather not help them along with one more payment like that. Of course I haven't ever signed up for them, and I obviously never intend to now.
