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.
🤦♂️Imagine believing what you read🤦♂️
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 🤦♂️
🤦♂️Imagine being so smug about being wrong🤦♂️
🤡
I guess you weren’t in the ring.
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.
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
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.
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…
The mothership is down? I didn’t even notice.
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.
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
yeah, stunning victory
[is torrenting as she writes this]
Unrelated, but I fucking love Cross Code.
Tomorrow: a new mothership!
Oh shit, they know about the mothership. /s
so called mothership being taken down meanwhile I am about to watch a newly downloaded show once my breakfast is done
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?
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).
