Most assuredly; that gentleman doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about.
What he IS doing— is justifying his expenditure.
It will come to nothing anyway.
What a poop-nosed loser.
Thank you. I have now added "poop-nosed loser" to my insult repitour.
This sounds a bit like declaring victory in the war on drugs after shutting down one (1) cocaine operation
Yes, I literally laughed aloud. The sheer arrogance in certainty projected is a dead giveaway.
Fmovies? Never heard of... wait, sorry, what I meant to say was OH NO!!! Not Fmovies!!! Guess I'm going to have to buy everything now!!!!!11!1
Arr.
pirates just need to for a while pretend to post in a way that piracy is really no more so they stop doing anything about it.
Cool,so we can defund the MPA now that their job is done.
It is done, right?
Right?
It's not like it's a government agency, it's a film company group. Defund it by never paying for a movie and getting everyone everywhere to never pay for a movie
That's it folks, they got the big boss. Wrap it up and let's go back to spending hundreds of dollars a month across dozens of platforms to not own any of the media we consume.
So the MPA will shut down now, right?
Mission accomplished!
Alt headline: Crusty old worthless white dude justifies himself to other crusty worthless white dudes.
I'll be honest, I didn't even know about fmovies until everyone started talking about it here recently. I've just used Torrent sites for downloading, and Stremio for streaming and I have not noticed much hiccups.
What they took down is an easily accessible public server that hosts content itself and is accessed by tens of thousands of technologically illiterate people via their phones - with no VPN - constantly. These folks are streaming movie after movie, 720p cam jobs, making these sites light up like the 4th of July (or like a Christmas tree, whatever reference works for you).
Makes sense, though that just gives the impression that this site isn't anything special. I swear there's a million and a half streaming sites by now, and I would bet everyone using FMovies has found clones or alternatives (if they didn't already know of some).

Oh shit, they know about the mothership. /s
Tomorrow: a new mothership!
MPA says no more “Whac-a-Mole” with pirate sites
Why would you say something you know you'll regret having said?
Casting illusions works on some people, usually those with defeatist or "not worth the trouble" mindset?
Sure thing, bro. 👍
If that's what you want to believe then I will not be the one to stop you :)
The mothership is down? I didn't even notice.
Damnit guys, they beat us!
Fighting piracy is like a caveman with a pointy stick trying to fight a 3 headed hydra from Greek mythology. The only way for them to truly defeat the hydra is an idea they would never accept because they aren't allowed to treat customers/consumers as people.
so called mothership being taken down meanwhile I am about to watch a newly downloaded show once my breakfast is done
Who? Oh, didn't even notice.
Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Disney, Fox, HBO, Hulu, MGM, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount, Sony, and Warner Bros.
Joke's on you MPA, I don't watch any modern trash produced by these "entertainment" companies.
Let me just say.... LOL
My go to site which has most of what I'm looking for is still up. So much for that lmao.

I think they think that Fmovies was actually relevant.
