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.
Hey what were those two sites so I can avoid them, don’t wanna accidentally pirate something yar har fiddly dee ifyouknowwhatimsayin
Yeah, aniwave hurt… really easy UI, looked nice.
Removed by mod
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 guess you weren’t in the ring.
and from the sound of it, i never will be
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 (formerly known as 9anime) was, from what I understand, the site most people fled to after KissAnime bit the dust.
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.
Fwiw, it’s répertoire.
Yeah, can’t blame autocucumber for that one. However, I’ve had a bitch of a time remembering English words since moving to a Spanish speaking country…
Don’t know if I “missed the joke” but it’s not an English word…
I mean, it is now.
it’s nice to see I’ve never had an original thought in my life
This made me genuinely laugh out loud. Thank you.
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.
F
Movies
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.
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
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?
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!
You could always seed
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).
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.
yeah, stunning victory
[is torrenting as she writes this]
Unrelated, but I fucking love Cross Code.
@WhyEssEff@hexbear.net is a big fan
Yes… Harder plz
MPA says no more “Whac-a-Mole” with pirate sites
Why would you say something you know you’ll regret having said?
Casting illusions works on some people, usually those with defeatist or “not worth the trouble” mindset?
