Imagine wasting your life on taking down these websites in service to corporations and billionaires.
Makes me feel better about my job.

Cut off one head, two more will take its place.

But that hasn’t happened with Fmovies, right? There hasn’t been a replacement since it went off
I may know someone who used an fmovies site to watch something last night, so some are still up.

I haven’t found a true replacement yet but there are enough decent other ones :)
Thanks!!
Take away the pirates and they’ll have to pay!
Or people will just not watch movies… Which is far far worse than the pirates as there will be no drive to watch new movies. Having viewers, even if they don’t pay immediately doesn’t mean those people won’t eventually become paying viewers. A non-viewer will never pay.
I should also probably mention the last movie at a theater I went to see was ‘the boy and the heron’, and that was the last piece of movie media I’ve watched.
@Coskii @True “home taping is killing music”. They’ve been on the same short sighted, cutting their nose off to spite their face, thing for decades.
Every study shows that piracy increases demand for “legitimate” consumption too, but they will literally drive themselves into bankruptcy rather than have one single pirated copy in existence. Muppets.
@goatsarah @Coskii @True is there a particular case about the muppets I am unaware of?
Dude, it’s not even just people who pirate might go and watch something. They’re more likely to buy merch which they make more money off of. I’ve bought plenty of merch for stuff I pirate.
I get that dude! That’s why I left it very ambiguous on what the viewer might be paying for, simply that they would be more likely to spent after having seen the thing than not!

Enforcement is social control and protection of property.
they don’t realize that the only reason the entertainment industry “killed piracy” ten years ago was because you could get netflix and hulu for about $14 and it included dvds… and it was all you needed.
Yeah the golden age of streaming has long passed. Now it’s an expensive, ad-ridden fragmented mess of data harvesting.
