movie-web always seemed like such a sitting duck for takedowns like this. Any form of piracy that’s grabbing from a few centralized streaming servers is bound to be shut down.
P2P torrents over a VPN is the most resilient way to do piracy.
Is there an alternative way to register a domain that cannot be seized? It seems like domain seizure is the one thing that enables internet censorship. Is there some sort of block chain base registrars out there? I'm genuinely curious.
yah i forgor about that
but technically you can, but with a self signed certificate only (ehich are less secure; or by asking people to set up the dns manually)
with self signed certs you don't lose encryption, but the client won't be able to make sure that it's connecting to your server specifically
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.
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) or donate a few bucks to support them.
When they can afford to get sued by content owners and feel like coming off with that kind of money and/or bump their heads, I would imagine. Unless it goes to dark web.
I mean, the hosting company would be the likely target then and they'd probably lock your account and switch off the server. Depending on your nationality and that of the hoster, at least.
The hosting company would refer LEO to the person renting the server. The hosting company would be a target of LEO in such a case only if they refused to cooperate.
But dont a lot of ISPs assign you a dynamic IP which makes hosting something that can access the Internet, and be accessed from the Internet, difficult?
my isp doesn't assign me an ipv4 and i have a dynamic ipv6 prefix, I'm hosting stuff over ipv6 just fine with dynamic prefix (i even have a ipv4 proxy set up, but it doesn't see much use), just need to update it like every week in dns records (automatically of course)
Host it in Iran or Cuba or Venezuela or something. Copyright law for western products don't really exist in my country Iran. We have entire streaming service companies that provide you pirated content like Netflix here lmfao
How so? Contrary to popular belief, that the 14-eyes countries can't do shit about civil-level stuff on other countries. Sure, but they can push and try fear mongering, but that's as far as they can go.
No government is stupid enough to go to war over some DMCA bullshit.
