Following a formal notice from the FNEF (https://fnef.fr/les-adherents/), Real-Debrid is strengthening its anti-piracy measures. As you already know, we actively comply with DMCA and are already blocking a certain number of infringing torrents. In the coming hours: - audiovisual files available on a number of cyberlockers listed on the USTR blacklist or listed in the European "CCounterfeit and Piracy Watch List" will all be blocked. - a filtering by file name will also be applied, in accordance with the request of the FNEF, this may unfortunately lead to false positives that we will process manually. - a blocking of all torrents hashes of private torrent trackers mentioned in cases at the Paris judicial court - a complete purge of files potentially cached on the previously mentioned criteria - the deactivation of the API endpoint /instantAvaibility - a blocking of counterfeit Kodi / Stremio applications to the extent that they are identifiable

Me too, I kind of always saw this coming and it really pissed me off when elitist pirates would try and bully people into buying it. Now I can and will rub their faces in it.

I wouldn't call anyone buying into a piracy service an elite pirate, they are the piracy equivalent of script kiddies.

I agree, it was the best way I could describe the behavior, since they think they are elites even though they absolutely are not.

I mean I'm just gonna go buy an identical service, so have fun with your face rubbing.

I was mainly taking a jab at the original Kodi addons community which had a lot of very toxic and elitist people in it which would bully people for not wanting to buy, specifically, RealDebrid to use for addons which only work with RealDebrid. These people are very much screwed now because many of those addons were RealDebrid exclusive and are effectively broken because of it. They were warned about this many times before and they laughed at the people who warned them about this happening.
