For those of us hit by the recent announcement here is a graph I found with some other services worth checking for your next voyages. I have crossed out All-Debrid too as that is also hosted in France and is bound to be hit by the same hammer as Real-Debrid was.
Feel free to share your alternative solutions in the comments below, but always do you research carefully!
The graph shows which Debrid services are supported by each addon for Stremio. Torbox seems to be a new popular and modern alternative. If anyone has any experience with any of the listed services then feel free to share your experiences in the comments.
Kind of misleading as all debrid works fine and there is no guarantee it will be “hit by the same hammer” anytime soon or ever. The reasoning your using is an appeal to probability which is a logical fallacy.
France has extremely powerful copyright trolls, restrictive laws, and a culture of oppression by bureaucrats. There’s even a tax on storage mediums that goes to the MAFIAA. what.cd got nuked, RealDebrid got threatened hard enough that they gave in. I wouldn’t spend any money on anything illegal hosted in France.
Do as you wish, pay for what you want to pay for - its your money.
That being said; these services will have to comply with French law. Real-Debrid probably didn’t have much choice to do what they did as they were hit with a formal notice from the French Federation of Film Distributors (FNEF). The french have been for a long while now been trying very hard to remove as many of these services as possible. First it was Hadopi agency, now merged with the Higher Audiovisual Council to form the more powerful regulator Arcom. Here’s a SS from this article about their anti-piracy efforts in 2022.
Similar services that are hosted in France will have to comply the second they get a notice from Arcom. France is obviously way more committed to removing piracy I’d say its a good call to not pay into french services… Personally, I wont be paying for services hosted in France as I believe its only a matter of time before more are struck down.
They where “hit” by the Federation of Film Distributors, not by any French court.
We can’t assume any legal consequences just yet and certainly not outside French jurisdiction. People should keep their head together before jumping to conclusions of being hit by hammers, or by announcements or worse…possible hangings and guillotines.

Why is AllDebrid crossed out? Just cause its French based as well?

I’m not sure why there is so much push back. You made a post showing alternatives to real debrid but you crossed out all debrid even though it works.
Are you not feeling the hammer of being hit by an announcement?
