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.

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…

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.

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.
- YeetPics ( @YeetPics@mander.xyz ) English51•20 days ago
Cool,so we can defund the MPA now that their job is done.
It is done, right?
Right?
- dwemthy ( @dwemthy@lemdro.id ) English24•20 days ago
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

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?

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.
