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 is very unfortunate, it was the best for streaming anime. Haven't heard of the others though.
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.
I guess you weren't in the ring.
and from the sound of it, i never will be
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.
Thank you. I have now added "poop-nosed loser" to my insult repitour.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
So the MPA will shut down now, right?
Mission accomplished!
Alt headline: Crusty old worthless white dude justifies himself to other crusty worthless white dudes.
The gereatric clowns are fucking annoying.
Makes me want to torrent harder but there is but so much content one person can consume lol
Dont fund your oppressors folks!
Oh shit, they know about the mothership. /s
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).
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 :)
so called mothership being taken down meanwhile I am about to watch a newly downloaded show once my breakfast is done
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.
Let me just say.... LOL
Who? Oh, didn't even notice.
Copium
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.
Winnin piracy just like they winnin the war on drugs
My go to site which has most of what I'm looking for is still up. So much for that lmao.
lol
I think they think that Fmovies was actually relevant.
