    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.

        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.

      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.

          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

          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

    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.
