Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Fmovies, which the film industry group also called the "world's largest piracy ring," is said to have drawn more than 6.7 billion visits between January 2023 and June 2024. Launched in 2016, the Hanoi-based outfit included pirate sites bflixz, flixtorz, movies7, myflixer, and aniwave.

i've never heard of a single one of those

Most assuredly; that gentleman doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about.

What he IS doing— is justifying his expenditure.

It will come to nothing anyway.

What a poop-nosed loser.

This sounds a bit like declaring victory in the war on drugs after shutting down one (1) cocaine operation

the thing about whack a mole is you, the player, do not get to decide if more moles pop up.

also, yeah, i've never heard of this and the fuckin piratebay is still up. i literally tell my students to use torrents and a vpn for anything they cant afford and might want to watch for class.

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.

Cool,so we can defund the MPA now that their job is done.

It is done, right?

Right?

That's it folks, they got the big boss. Wrap it up and let's go back to spending hundreds of dollars a month across dozens of platforms to not own any of the media we consume.

So the MPA will shut down now, right?

Alt headline: Crusty old worthless white dude justifies himself to other crusty worthless white dudes.

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.

Oh shit, they know about the mothership. /s

yeah, stunning victory

[is torrenting as she writes this]

MPA says no more “Whac-a-Mole” with pirate sites

Why would you say something you know you'll regret having said?

Tomorrow: a new mothership!

Sure thing, bro. 👍

Damnit guys, they beat us!

The mothership is down? I didn't even notice.

If that's what you want to believe then I will not be the one to stop you :)

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.

so called mothership being taken down meanwhile I am about to watch a newly downloaded show once my breakfast is done

Let me just say.... LOL

Copium

Who? Oh, didn't even notice.

eyup. mission accomplished and no worries going forward.

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.

My go to site which has most of what I'm looking for is still up. So much for that lmao.

Winnin piracy just like they winnin the war on drugs

Private tracker I've been using for like 17 years still works.

lol

I think I2P will get a new wave of users willing to pirate stuff

I think they think that Fmovies was actually relevant.
