MPA says no more “Whac-a-Mole” with pirate sites, claims it took down “mothership”

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.
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
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.
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
So the MPA will shut down now, right?
Mission accomplished!
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).
Tomorrow: a new mothership!
Sure thing, bro. 👍
Oh shit, they know about the mothership. /s
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?
If that's what you want to believe then I will not be the one to stop you :)
The mothership is down? I didn't even notice.
Damnit guys, they beat us!
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.
so called mothership being taken down meanwhile I am about to watch a newly downloaded show once my breakfast is done
Who? Oh, didn't even notice.
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.
Eh, Aniwave was a pretty big one for the anime community. From what I understand, it's the one most people fled to after KissAnime was taken down. Aside from that, I've never heard of any of the other sites they mentioned.
Private tracker I've been using for like 17 years still works.
I've head about private tackers forever, is it that much better than public? I have never really had an issue with public trackers ,but also never had an invite to a private one
IMO, yes. Just for the consistency of quality and absence of fuckery. Damn near any TV show/movie/documentary is on there in at least 1080p, usually in 4K for newer stuff. For music I use SoulSeek and for eBooks I use LibGen.
In general, yeah. Private torrent trackers tend to focus on specific types of content. Some might focus on cartoons. Some might focus on anime. Some focus on books. Some focus on video games. Public trackers, on the other hand, generally focus on everything, which, of course, means they won't have a lot of the older or more niche stuff, and they might be lacking in one or more categories (music, anime, books, TV, etc.).
It's also much less likely that a torrent on a private tracker will die because most private trackers enforce certain rules about seeding and because the people there are generally much more into seeding than most people on a public tracker. (Probably most people on public trackers simply download what they need and stop before seeding anything back.)
Private trackers are also typically the first (and sometimes only) places to get scene releases. Scene releases, which are done by private groups, are usually higher quality than stuff on public trackers. Sometimes, they leak onto a public tracker, but not usually.
Ditto.
17 years is a pretty good record. Site must have been built with some damn good fake doors.
Let me just say.... LOL
eyup. mission accomplished and no worries going forward.
I think I2P will get a new wave of users willing to pirate stuff
I never considered I2P as a source, is it good for PC games?
I think they think that Fmovies was actually relevant.
Eat shit clown
Me waiting for the next "mothership" to pop up so I can use it:
Make MoviePass Great Again!
Look how smug and happy he is! Anyone wanna tell him?
mpa(a?) heard of medusas head? coz thats how this works.
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
Yeah, aniwave hurt... really easy UI, looked nice.
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.
