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.

Bummer, I renewed my subscription for 6 months just two days ago.

I guess this'll finally be an excuse for me to setup Jellyfin and the arr-stack. I really don't mind too much (honestly I'd be fine just downloading torrents manually for whatever I want to watch) but my roommates really appreciated how easy to use Stremio is.

Don't you have to pay for arr services?

[–] ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 1 points 9 minutes ago

They're not services per se, but are a stack of software that you can kinda "clump" together for the lack of a better word.

For instance I started using qbittorrent client recently instead of Transmission that I was using before as my torrent client because I can't find a way for Transmission to not download malware, and you can also do the very same with the indexer clients such as Jackett or Prowlarr which then talk to other software such as Radarr/Sonarr via API keys and is usually where most get caught out.

Read the docs, get thoroughly confused, and probably do it in docker too as everyone says if your hardware is sufficient.

No, they directly download the files via torrents on your pc

Me too, last Friday

Glad I never subscribed to it.

Me too, I kind of always saw this coming and it really pissed me off when elitist pirates would try and bully people into buying it. Now I can and will rub their faces in it.

[–] Bitflip@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Just in time for Usenet Black Friday sales :)

And what country are they located, pray tell?

[–] MaggotInfested@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

What is the USTR blacklist? how do we preserve this data before its lost?

[–] Imprint9816@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (3 children)

It looks like in terms of torrent sites

  • 1337x
  • rutracker
  • the pirate bay
  • torrentgalaxy (replaced RARBG)
  • yts

Are all on the list. seems like torrentio is gonna be a big victim of this.

More info here

Apologies for being clueless but how does streamio/torrentio get affected by this?

[–] NewOldGuard@hexbear.net 2 points 4 hours ago

I am so glad I didn’t renew my subscription in September sheesh

[–] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

What are peoples preferred alternatives to use with stemio?

As others in this thread I literally just paid for 6 months on Realdebrid Woop!

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 minutes ago

Do a chargeback, get your money back for it, assuming you can and it hasn't been too long. What are they gonna do? Ban you? Ha that's rich their service is about to become darn near worthless, that's an empty threat that doesn't have any teeth. Download your existing files and get your money back from them.

AllDebrid or Premiumize are both popular alternatives. AD is considerably cheaper, even with Premiumize's Black Friday sale in right now. However, Premiumize allows multiple connections, so if you can split the cost with someone, it becomes the cheaper option.

[–] Pyro@programming.dev 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I would hold off on switching to AllDebrid for a bit, because they are also based in France and may be hit with a similar order.

[–] SmokeFree@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 hours ago

there is also torbox and debrid-link fr
