Just a reminder that there are tons more options like this (and this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to movie piracy).

Bookmark and forget. Thanks
this link puts c/piracy's megalist to shame, it's also a shame that it's only movies. I'm guessing from the url that it's not tho.
edit: oh hell yeah, there's a homepage! How well is it moderated?
It's moderated very well, they change things every month.
The hell is movie-web
It was a streaming site that pulled from a large amount of other sources automatically.
Funnily enough it didn't have any discovery features whatsoever (no front page, popular, latest etc), it was just a search bar that took you right into the video so you needed an idea what it is you wanted to see. And I don't think it was nearly as popular as other sites (like you probably weren't finding it from search results, as I don't think it even had the info that'd be grabbed, and probably didn't even have SEO or anything like that)
It's available as a docker image isn't it? So we can just self host it
When are people going to start hosting their own git servers ? It can't seriously be that hard.
When they can afford to get sued by content owners and feel like coming off with that kind of money and/or bump their heads, I would imagine. Unless it goes to dark web.
What does it really change? If you're in legal troubles, the same request will come from your hosting or internet service provider.
Hosted on I2P, it can't be found. Cease and Desist will be sent to some anonymous party that can immediately ignore it.
My guess is Russia and China and other countries aren't giving a fuck about laws of the USA and the UK
Host it in Iran or Cuba or Venezuela or something. Copyright law for western products don't really exist in my country Iran. We have entire streaming service companies that provide you pirated content like Netflix here lmfao
"Host it in a country that your country has imposed sanctions on. What could possibly go wrong?"
How so? Contrary to popular belief, that the 14-eyes countries can't do shit about civil-level stuff on other countries. Sure, but they can push and try fear mongering, but that's as far as they can go.
No government is stupid enough to go to war over some DMCA bullshit.
Found the fed
It costs money
You can rent a vps for 4$ / month, Forgejo for server is open source.
I mean, the hosting company would be the likely target then and they'd probably lock your account and switch off the server. Depending on your nationality and that of the hoster, at least.
The hosting company would refer LEO to the person renting the server. The hosting company would be a target of LEO in such a case only if they refused to cooperate.
Hydra effect pls
Shiiiit. I remember the site, movie-web.app, getting taken down months ago, I was meaning to self-host it. This year is a dark year for open source piracy repos.
Also fuck github for taking down open source project they don’t like.
Just noting that Microsoft acquired Github back in 2018.
was just about to mention this, github literally has a vested interest in killing inconvenient open source projects whenever it sees fit
self hosted git ftw always
What a thicc article but it’s probably the best critique of github in the internet
It's from Software Freedom conservancy, they regularly publish such great articles. These guys do a whole bunch of great work in general, I highly recommend checking their other articles, maybe follow them on Mastodon (@[email protected]) or donate a few bucks to support them.
Is there an alternative way to register a domain that cannot be seized? It seems like domain seizure is the one thing that enables internet censorship. Is there some sort of block chain base registrars out there? I'm genuinely curious.
i2p or tor addresses. Which aren't popular because it's hard for both admin & user.
I think one way is to use a domain host that is located in some country that doesn't care at all.
just don't use one?
host shit on bare ips
You can't have valid HTTPS on bare IPs.
yah i forgor about that
but technically you can, but with a self signed certificate only (ehich are less secure; or by asking people to set up the dns manually)
with self signed certs you don't lose encryption, but the client won't be able to make sure that it's connecting to your server specifically
Technically they could by manually verifying the cert from somewhere offline.
From what I know, the for network fits this
- They need to have access to the private key to seize (and even then, the site can be taken back to warn others)
- Lack of centralised link buying service
(My knowledge comes from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ua8HrgZsAg)
They're axing certain adblockers on youtube / Spotify. AND they just took down one of the largest paywall bypass extensions for Firefox.
The billionaire class is scared as fuck this one last quarter of "profits" won't he enough to satisfy wallstreet
As long as someone backed up the repository, it can still be forked, right?
There are so many forks though right? Hopefully they all keep going. I only found out about movie-web a couple months ago and it's pretty cool.
streaming site
Oh well
We need to get more stuff into darknet.
sad yarr
As I don't see it here mentioned enough: sudo-flix is a fork
It is hosted at https://sudo-flix.lol/ for now :)
Does anyone have a mirror of the repository?? I want to self host it
I think they have a mirror at https://docs.sudo-flix.lol/ Also https://erynith.github.io/movie-web-instances/
