    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.

    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.

    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.

      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

    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).

          Maybe. I know several technotards who think they’ve discovered black magic because of an Ebaums World quality site where they have to watch 20 ads per shitty 720p movie and they run around telling everyone they meet about the site. These sites spring up, spread like fire, and get merkd fast af. Meanwhile torrent sites last YEARS by being a little more underground.

      Casting illusions works on some people, usually those with defeatist or “not worth the trouble” mindset?
