PSA: make sure you use a VPN and a good adblocker like ublock origin before visiting any of the listed links. We have not verified whether these are legitimate fmovie mirrors or scammy clone sites.

Question from a dummy: why should you use a VPN when visiting?

[–] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

IMO it's a good idea to use a VPN when accessing any pirated content, as a general rule. While there are exceptions (e.g. usenet, specific countries with piracy-friendly laws/enforcement) and it's arguably unlikely end-users of pirated streams would be prosecuted, why take the risk? It's cheap insurance and there are few downsides. In some countries ISPs will act on reported piracy at your IP address and you could have your internet cut off or suspended, and/or be fined. So, better safe than sorry.

Some western countries have very strict copyright laws (e.g. Germany and the U.S.) where if an ISP sees you accessing pirated content, your internet access might be cut off or you might even get arrested.

Plausible deniability

the proof of the pudding is in the eating

That's how you get a bug online my man...

But either way, I thought it was sus how they were able to flip all of them together. Sounds like a propaganda more than anything ?

[–] fernlike3923@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago

You're just posting fake clones of the official websites again. The original website was taken down. The ones you linked are just other pirate streaming websites using the same name for recognition.

Like a Hydra; You cut one head off; and two grow in it's place.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah but aren't those clones? Before, it was something like fmoviesz.to

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 month ago (2 children)

a lot of the people making these posts don't realise they are going to fake clone sites with a lesser library that could even be potentially dangerous. even outside of this space people are fooling themselves, I saw someone on discord post a fake 9anime link yesterday.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Yeah, for now, I'm trusting the clone posted on fmhy.net

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

Seems they don't care, as long as the f is in the title lmao

Uh oh didn't you read whyesseffs rant yesterday you rascal? She coming for ya

[–] mods_mum@lemmy.today 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm disappointed so many people give credence to the Guardian. They have abysmal track record in reporting on topics they don't have expertise in or subjects they ideologically disagree with.

[–] halm@leminal.space 5 points 1 month ago

I'll grant you that their tech column is dismal, but I happen to agree a fair bit with their ideology so I'm pretty much fine with their (so far) unpaywalled news site...

[–] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml -5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hahahaha

Imagine believing a website is down because a paper says so.

Takes five seconds to find.

Aniwave is down though...?

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 11 points 1 month ago

don't disrespect the mission accomplished banner!

[–] rabbitissmall@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The video doesn't play though (?) Only the website is working
