Question from a dummy: why should you use a VPN when visiting?
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.
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.
Plausible deniability
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.
Aniwave my poor boy :(
Hahahaha
Imagine believing a website is down because a paper says so.
Takes five seconds to find.
Aniwave is down though...?
Nah, search for 'aniwave' and you can find it easily
You clearly don't know what you're talking about
This is not rocket science. You want to watch telly: you find the site, hit play, it plays.
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.
Yeah, for now, I'm trusting the clone posted on fmhy.net
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.
Lmao are you a literal child
That’s not how online risk management works at all
In fact mods should take this down for spreading malware
Seems they don't care, as long as the f is in the title lmao
how do you know they are fmovies?
the proof of the pudding is in the eating
That's how you get a bug online my man...
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 ?
Like a Hydra; You cut one head off; and two grow in it's place.
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.
