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.

      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. 😓

          For more storage space yes. We have 2x2TB HDDs in raid atm and a few years ago that cost more than $100 (although I forget the exact amount). I have no doubt they will last long long time (I have a 1TB HDD in my PC that is about 10 years old and still going strong). But we can’t even store all our favourites let alone movies/shows we watch as one offs. So we would need to ‘upgrade’ what we have which we can’t remotely afford because in this country even 2nd hand storage adds up to expensive.

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

      Sad to see them go.

    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.

    I know I’m late to the parrrty here, but for dumm-dumms like me, anybody care to explain what the cause behind this was?

    From what I can tell Real Debrid was based out of France… but what made them change their tune all of a sudden? Did the owners get threatened similar to what people think happened to the guy running rarbg?

    Or did France just suddenly start enforcing copyrights or something? If so, then does that mean any other things non-debrid related that are based out of France are likely to run into issues too? Like, I know some open-source stuff also uses (used) France as a copyright-haven so that they could basically host patented media codecs in a separate repo (I think Fedora nd OpenSuse both have unofficial repos that do that). Wondering if that kinda thing would also be affected too or just the *debrid stuff?

      No

      Edit: why the down votes? It has absolutely no impact on the arr-stack, I just answered their question…
