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.
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.
Make MoviePass Great Again!
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.
Winnin piracy just like they winnin the war on drugs
mpa(a?) heard of medusas head? coz thats how this works.
My go to site which has most of what I’m looking for is still up. So much for that lmao.
Literally every site in my regular rotation is completely unaffected lol.
Sure thing, bro. 👍
Copium
Let me just say… LOL
This made me genuinely laugh out loud. Thank you.
it’s nice to see I’ve never had an original thought in my life
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
The MPA is so out of touch. Let’s not tell them.
Aniwave (formerly known as 9anime) was, from what I understand, the site most people fled to after KissAnime bit the dust.
Aniwave was probably the best anime streaming site, mainly because its the only one with a functional watch together feature. I also haven’t heard of any of the others though.
Aniwave is very unfortunate, it was the best for streaming anime. Haven’t heard of the others though.
Yeah, aniwave hurt… really easy UI, looked nice.
🤦♂️Imagine believing what you read🤦♂️
Those are fake mirrors completely missing aniwave’s core features: account watchlists, auto skip intro/outro, auto next, watch together, and the comments don’t even work.
Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re missing the majority of Aniwave’s library too
Edit: The search is horrifically basic too. No filters at all, seriously? The clones don’t even try to compete 🤦♂️
🤡
That’s a fake clone…
The original site was this.🤦♂️Imagine being so smug about being wrong🤦♂️
i’d put my money on there being another “aniwave” soon, rather than streaming anime is gone forever
the fact that these morons think that piracy depends on some singular centralized “mothership” that controls everything just demonstrates how clueless they are
doing a search just now, I saw two pop up. super functional as well.
these fellas ain’t too bright. let’s continue to allow them to think they are.
Hey what were those two sites so I can avoid them, don’t wanna accidentally pirate something yar har fiddly dee ifyouknowwhatimsayin
I guess you weren’t in the ring.
and from the sound of it, i never will be
Oh shit, they know about the mothership. /s
Damnit guys, they beat us!
Look how smug and happy he is! Anyone wanna tell him?
