Real-Debrid Implements Extreme Anti-Piracy Filters to Appease Film Companies
Real-Debrid, a popular tool among pirates, says it's implementing far-reaching anti-piracy measures including hash and keyword filters.
Real-Debrid, a popular streaming and download service, says it's implementing far-reaching anti-piracy measures, including hash and keyword filters, in response to a notice from the French Federation of Film Distributors. The API and instantAvailability feature are set for deactivation too, while content from "notorious" pirate sites will be blocked.
...well shit. What now?
Edit - I just saw some kodi devs suggesting torbox. Looks like accounts can be shared and the top offering has Usenet built in. No add-ons support yet... But eventually it looks like umbrella will support it.
I still have 2 months left on my account. I'll wait and see what happens in the next few weeks.
We are experiencing an influx of new subscribers
Torbox website atm
After seeing this post, I tried streaming the newest episode of Silo and found it wasn't working in my addon (which uses a4kscrapers).
My mother tried streaming Slow Horses (using same addon) after I told her and she said it worked fine. I guess it had already been cached and was therefore unaffected since the file I streamed was only released today.
Anyway I luckily only had 8 days left of RD, so I subscribed to Premiumize and it only took a minute to reconfigure the addon to use that instead.
And just as I started considering one of their plans. Well, I guess this reduces the time I must consider it to zero.
Here are some other options to consider: https://slrpnk.net/post/15456722
Well, back to Usenet and Jellyfin for me I guess.
What stops Usenet from being attacked legally in the same way, aren't they straight up hosting copyrighted content? I've always stuck to torrents because it seemed more decentralized, especially if you use DHT instead of an indexer.
Usenet often uses obfuscation to hide the contents of the files, which defeats most of the bots which are only matching filenames to their protected content.
I also prefer Usenet since I can encrypt my connection, whereas torrents require a bit more faith in your VPN provider than I'm comfortable with.
How would one get onto Usenet? Asking for a faaarrrrriend
I ask for another one as well
I subbed for 6 months, FUCKKKKKK!
For sketchy services in grey or illegal area, I've started paying month to month for exactly this reason.
Chargeback?
I asked for a refund. They refund, only to cancel it just after. Now I have no subscription nor money ...
ah shit, it's been my best friend with Jdownloader2 (i guess this affects DDL too?) for a while now :( good that my premium is close to ending I guess
Zurg seems to still work. So people who use this for Plex or Jellyfin shouldn't be to affected.
Stremio users on the other hand either have to switch services or wait and see what the dev from Debrid Media Manager comes up with.
Personally, I'll probably switch to AllDebrid until TorBox proves it can handle the influx of new customers and grows it's cache.
I know some of these words
I've been using AllDebrid for years and I'd recommend it. Hopefully they won't come after them soon too
At $4/month I'm willing to risk it. Honestly I'd like to use TorBox but they need to get a bit more established.
Fuck. I still have 149 days. I contacted support asking to cancel and get a prorated refund.
I will do the same...
Shit. I still have 21 days. I had some scripts made with the api that i'm going to have to remake now.
