Yeah but aren’t those clones? Before, it was something like fmoviesz.to

a lot of the people making these posts don’t realise they are going to fake clone sites with a lesser library that could even be potentially dangerous. even outside of this space people are fooling themselves, I saw someone on discord post a fake 9anime link yesterday.

If you’re watching the things you want to watch, the “That’s not the right site so it doesn’t count!” argument doesn’t make much sense.

There’s no such thing as “fake” or “real” in this context.

It is, however, an issue if the website you’re watching your movie on is doing other things in the background; like using the HTTPS connection to rip info about your device

There is “harmful” and “less harmful” tho

when the og dies the clone sites are fixed in time, eventually the things you want to watch will catch up and overtake that point.

either way you’re on the wrong site because realheads use torrents

This is not rocket science. You want to watch telly: you find the site, hit play, it plays.

The MP4 does not concern itself with where it is, only with where it is going. It is a highly calibrated series of movement vectors with frame by frame calculations being rendered by highly sophisticated…

It isn’t, .to was the official site. If you look at the about page, they even call themselves .to a couple times where I assume they forgot to change their copy and paste

how do you know they are fmovies?

But either way, I thought it was sus how they were able to flip all of them together. Sounds like a propaganda more than anything ?

I’m disappointed so many people give credence to the Guardian. They have abysmal track record in reporting on topics they don’t have expertise in or subjects they ideologically disagree with.

I’ll grant you that their tech column is dismal, but I happen to agree a fair bit with their ideology so I’m pretty much fine with their (so far) unpaywalled news site…

You’re just posting fake clones of the official websites again. The original website was taken down. The ones you linked are just other pirate streaming websites using the same name for recognition.

PSA: make sure you use a VPN and a good adblocker like ublock origin before visiting any of the listed links. We have not verified whether these are legitimate fmovie mirrors or scammy clone sites.

Question from a dummy: why should you use a VPN when visiting?

Some western countries have very strict copyright laws (e.g. Germany and the U.S.) where if an ISP sees you accessing pirated content, your internet access might be cut off or you might even get arrested.

IMO it’s a good idea to use a VPN when accessing any pirated content, as a general rule. While there are exceptions (e.g. usenet, specific countries with piracy-friendly laws/enforcement) and it’s arguably unlikely end-users of pirated streams would be prosecuted, why take the risk? It’s cheap insurance and there are few downsides. In some countries ISPs will act on reported piracy at your IP address and you could have your internet cut off or suspended, and/or be fined. So, better safe than sorry.
