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?

[-] Sebastrion@leminal.space 6 points 1 year ago

It's moderated very well, they change things every month.

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

[-] fluffyb@lemmy.fluffyb.net 39 points 1 year ago

When are people going to start hosting their own git servers ? It can't seriously be that hard.

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] summerof69@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

What does it really change? If you're in legal troubles, the same request will come from your hosting or internet service provider.

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago

Hosted on I2P, it can't be found. Cease and Desist will be sent to some anonymous party that can immediately ignore it.

[-] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 9 points 1 year ago

"Host it in a country that your country has imposed sanctions on. What could possibly go wrong?"

[-] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

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.

You can rent a vps for 4$ / month, Forgejo for server is open source.

[-] elvith@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago

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.

old laptop in you closet is free forever

[-] AVeryCleverName@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

But dont a lot of ISPs assign you a dynamic IP which makes hosting something that can access the Internet, and be accessed from the Internet, difficult?

[-] hjpoijnerflkjn@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

You just update DNS entry if your ip changes (automatically over api ofc)

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

my isp doesn't assign me an ipv4 and i have a dynamic ipv6 prefix, I'm hosting stuff over ipv6 just fine with dynamic prefix (i even have a ipv4 proxy set up, but it doesn't see much use), just need to update it like every week in dns records (automatically of course)

[-] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] tearsintherain@leminal.space 25 points 1 year ago

Just noting that Microsoft acquired Github back in 2018.

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

was just about to mention this, github literally has a vested interest in killing inconvenient open source projects whenever it sees fit

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 14 points 1 year ago

self hosted git ftw always

[-] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

What a thicc article but it’s probably the best critique of github in the internet

[-] impure9435@kbin.run 4 points 1 year ago

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 (@conservancy@social.sfconservancy.org) or donate a few bucks to support them.

[-] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 year ago

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

[-] randomaside@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] reddithalation@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago

I think one way is to use a domain host that is located in some country that doesn't care at all.

[-] hedgehog@ttrpg.network 10 points 1 year ago

Is there some sort of block chain base registrars out there?

There are handshake domains, which are distributed on a blockchain, but sites that use them won’t resolve in browsers by default

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

just don't use one?
host shit on bare ips

[-] matey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

You can't have valid HTTPS on bare IPs.

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] bitfucker@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Technically they could by manually verifying the cert from somewhere offline.

As long as someone backed up the repository, it can still be forked, right?

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] CatTrickery 12 points 1 year ago

There are still a few instances about such as https://mw.lonelil.ru/

[-] yuri@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

ayyyy that’s been my go to! sometimes when the normal hosts don’t resolve it’ll start auto-playing russian dubs, it’s so silly.

Fucken William H. Macy is all like “вот что ты пропустил на прошлой неделе в сериале Shameless” and I just lose it.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

streaming site

Oh well

[-] smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

We need to get more stuff into darknet.

[-] Pilgrim@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago
[-] eastp0le@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

As I don't see it here mentioned enough: sudo-flix is a fork

It is hosted at https://sudo-flix.lol/ for now :)
