Shiiiit. I remember the site, movie-web.app, getting taken down months ago, I was meaning to self-host it. This year is a dark year for open source piracy repos.

Also fuck github for taking down open source project they don’t like.

Just noting that Microsoft acquired Github back in 2018.

was just about to mention this, github literally has a vested interest in killing inconvenient open source projects whenever it sees fit

It's from Software Freedom conservancy, they regularly publish such great articles. These guys do a whole bunch of great work in general, I highly recommend checking their other articles, maybe follow them on Mastodon (@conservancy@social.sfconservancy.org) or donate a few bucks to support them.
