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.
I guess you weren’t in the ring.
and from the sound of it, i never will be
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
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.
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
Yes, I literally laughed aloud. The sheer arrogance in certainty projected is a dead giveaway.
Me waiting for the next “mothership” to pop up so I can use it:
Tomorrow: a new mothership!
This is like the time the MPAA declared “victory” when they had all of the original Pirate Bay founders arrested. But Pirate Bay still continued because it was no longer ran by them.
But you know, this is now the opportunity for people to let the MPA think they won. Just let them think so. If they think so, they’ll give a little less of a shit. If we keep screaming to the high heavens about piracy, this shit will just continue.
Look how smug and happy he is! Anyone wanna tell him?
Cool,so we can defund the MPA now that their job is done.
It is done, right?
Right?
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.
Who? Oh, didn’t even notice.
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).
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.
