Following a formal notice from the FNEF (https://fnef.fr/les-adherents/), Real-Debrid is strengthening its anti-piracy measures. As you already know, we actively comply with DMCA and are already blocking a certain number of infringing torrents. In the coming hours: - audiovisual files available on a number of cyberlockers listed on the USTR blacklist or listed in the European "CCounterfeit and Piracy Watch List" will all be blocked. - a filtering by file name will also be applied, in accordance with the request of the FNEF, this may unfortunately lead to false positives that we will process manually. - a blocking of all torrents hashes of private torrent trackers mentioned in cases at the Paris judicial court - a complete purge of files potentially cached on the previously mentioned criteria - the deactivation of the API endpoint /instantAvaibility - a blocking of counterfeit Kodi / Stremio applications to the extent that they are identifiable

Been using traditional methods to get my isos and store them locally, and on arrs/Plex for well over a decade.

Honestly the debris stuff never ever interested me, unless the data is in your control locally the rug pull is always on the horizon.

I do wish we could make it easier for non-technical folk, not everyone is wrong in the head like I am to be happy enough building and maintaining a NAS and the software stack required.

My friend just hooks his laptop up to his TV, connects to his VPN, and plays popcorntime (streaming torrents). He used to use streaming sites, but those have been getting taken down left and right.

Real debrid helped me download torrents that had 0 seeds when I tried in any. More than once.

Sad to see them go.

Also great for those files that can only be found in premium sites, even scribd.

Unfortunately not everyone has access to cheap storage so for us a few bucks a month is more cost effective than having to upgrade expensive storage regularly. 😓

Upgrading? Regularly? stares at 25x2TB ancient array

Still more up front than a few dollars.

True. But you can save photos and videos under self-healing filesystem like zfs. Is far more cheaper than a year of multiple premium subscriptions (google, netflix, spotify). And it's not recurring monthly other than electricity bill..
