It is a sad day and year for Piracy. Soap2Day was the best of the best. So was RARBG.

Why are all these piracy sites dropping like flies? There was no warning/explanation for why they went down. Higher running/maintenance cost doesn't explain it, because why not just temporarily shut down until the bills come down? Plus, the timing is bang in the middle of the reddit protest too, which is setting my conspiracy alarms off.

No need to panic mateys, try these great alternatives:

You can also visit Movies & TV section in the Megathread for way more options.

Wait, lookmovie is a soap2day clone?

[–] NM156@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a different site... I put up 2 examples of Soa2Day clones...

Stremio is the best app for movies and series. I've never seen anything like it.

goku.sx works great for me

[–] minimar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I misread the URL as "goku sux"

They have gone? I barely used it, but when I was about to use it always helped me out. I miss especially rarbg R.I.P.

Jesus christ. Cant even post it to reddit and it feels wrong. But jesus christ. It was like gods library of content in there. great service, high quality, little to no scummy ads. I remember it from day one. Fucking christ.

I think it was a dominoe effect. it all started when biohazard went down. then they started dropping like dominoes. I still dont know what settings rarbg used for their encodes.

Alot of pirate communities are disappearing without much explanation as of late.... Is there something going on here 🤔

For not so smart people like me- can someone explain how/what role AI plays in all of this?

[–] LlamaSutra@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

AI can search multiple things at the same time really fast. It can also detect patterns super quick. It probably is doing something like looking for multiple users accessing high bandwidth or something. I dunno. This might not even be happening. Just a guess 😆

This was my goto. Anyone have an alternative they want to recommend?

https://fmovies.llc/home the fmovie site uses the main streaming sources that all the movies and tv shows comes from and offers all available streaming of each server available has the best quality in my opinion and nicely organized site as well

damn a lot of services are dropping out of the game lately. I'm worried about the future of piracy

[–] unknownmd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any of these sites allow f12/ inspect elements? Or anyone know ways around that inspect element block? I used to grab all the 720p from soap.... So sad!

[–] minimar@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're just interested in having a download button, try Stremio.

[–] unknownmd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

thanks man. Unforunately torrents are a no go for my ISP need VPNs. I must have grabbed thousands of movies via F12/ inspect element for years with soap. I guess no one is serving content like that any more. :( super sad

It is a very sad day indeed. I have been using Soap2day for years. Does anybody know a good site that allows downloads or a good browser add-on that helps you to download? Obviously these sites make it difficult for a reason and I understand that. But there has got to be a way to download them for offline viewing, right?

[–] NM156@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Try web.stremio.com There is also a client app that works a little better than the web version... Just install the add-ons to maximize your viewing and download options...
