movie-web always seemed like such a sitting duck for takedowns like this. Any form of piracy that’s grabbing from a few centralized streaming servers is bound to be shut down.

P2P torrents over a VPN is the most resilient way to do piracy.

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

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.

Hydra effect pls

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

From what I know, the for network fits this

  1. They need to have access to the private key to seize (and even then, the site can be taken back to warn others)
  2. Lack of centralised link buying service

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

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

i2p or tor addresses. Which aren't popular because it's hard for both admin & user.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months 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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago

They're axing certain adblockers on youtube / Spotify. AND they just took down one of the largest paywall bypass extensions for Firefox.

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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

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

We need to get more stuff into darknet.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months 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.
