@catsalad
since I do not longer have to block fmovies, I had few sites to block, but blocking yesmovies[.]ag seems to be a decent idea.

@catsalad also block uflix[.]cc and don't get fooled by the Christmas specials. Pls block all of it.

@catsalad
> Movie piracy is bad.

@catsalad geesh.. some of these sites REALLY need to be blocked!

@catsalad

You could move to France! :

Automated Real-Time Pirate IPTV Blocking in France “Within Six Months”

https://torrentfreak.com/automated-real-time-pirate-iptv-blocking-in-france-within-six-months-251214/

@catsalad bookmarking this one!

I need a good block list for my P̵y̵L̵o̵a̵d̵ PiHole 😁

@catsalad it's always pleasure to meet person with strong moral compass

@catsalad popcorn time is still going as far as I know.

You should block it right away!

@catsalad I had to bookmark this in order to view the contents later.

@catsalad here's a website that has a whole list of websites for you to block! (free media: heck yeah you should keep your computer safe from these!) https://fmhy.net/

@catsalad Yes, a clear no to heresy! Good to see there is still a lot of good people on the internet. 🙏🏼

@catsalad the previous websites i actively avoided got shut down so right now i'm blocking uindex.org – no idea who's running it, but they're so bad at their job they haven't even put in any pretty banners, and despite numerous attempts i haven't found any malware either. Will keep looking.

@catsalad broco.flix

@catsalad https://unblockit.pages.dev/

@catsalad i always make sure to have both everything.moe and fmhy.net blocked as they’re the door to so much of the evil it physically lift a weight off of the earth :3

@catsalad blockade time for gay-torrents.net; this once holesome pornography market is positively filthy with queer arthouse piracy. It's practically as bad as archive.org.

@catsalad
you're all doomed ;)
I am old school - so just found via search engine simply by looking for streaming the community with the same name.. they change their address every 3 days only holding streamingcommunity dot whatsoever
(is this called a torrent ? really old school...)

@catsalad Honestly the comments hit like a parade of awesome. God I love you all. 🤩

@catsalad

An unscrupulous individual could find lots of #StarTrek movies & episodes on https://dailymotion.com & watch without even having the basic corporate decency to log in. They would only rack up ad impressions. Very sad.

Or so I've heard.

@catsalad And just incase definitely do not install tor browser and then go to URL : https://tpb.party/

It may work in non tor browser too so be sure to block the most popular torrent site url.

Tor is required in some countries as they responsiblely block that pirate torrent.

I mean you would not want to see all those brand new pirate movies, tv shows, audio books, text book, anime.

@catsalad as a european, be sure to keep peer connections enabled in your browser so should you accidentally land on a streaming site, rights holders can track your IP and send you a costly C&D. this will keep you honest.

@catsalad definitely Block fmhy.net and all its out going links.

@catsalad I don't pirate movies. I'm just training an AI.

@catsalad i‘m partial to the old ways, if you want to make sure you are wholly safe from IRC, you may want to block aggregators such as https://skullxdcc.com

@catsalad I feel your pain!

@catsalad make sure your computer does not have qbittorrent installed, it comes with a search function that indexes a large number of known piracy sites, making it very easy to accidentally download copyrighted material

@catsalad @lashman take a look at @piracy Lemmy community. They have an extensive curated up-to-date wiki with stuff to block

@catsalad this is public service indeed! Gonna get myself rid of them all

@catsalad luckily you don't have to do all that work. There are github ripos that collect all the sites that are still up and give you an up to date list. They give them weird sarcastic names like 'awesome-piracy'

@catsalad you need to block hdtodayz.to and 123moviesfree.net and soap2day.day. thank you for saying no into the face of pirates.

@catsalad

yts.lt (movies)
eztv.ag (shows)
1337x.to (everything)

@catsalad i have heard of people adding torrenting dot com to their blocklist. I know I have.

@catsalad
I don't trust the lists. They could be full of punitive links that aren't really bad. So, I have an automated system that searches these sites and downloads files so I can manually evaluate their sins.

I've been having really great results for years.

@catsalad

Piracy really hits Hollywood where it hurts, so if you’re committed to staying pure, make sure to block these “data preservation” domains:

- https://thepiratebay.org / http://piratebayo3klnzokct3wt5yyxb2vpebbuyjl7m623iaxmqhsd52coid.onion
- https://fitgirl-repacks.site
- https://1337x.to
- https://yts.lt
- https://bs.to

@catsalad For sure stay away from anything on this list https://yarrlist.com/movies-and-tv-shows

@catsalad
If you do not like to read books or newspapers you must black-hole an org called mobilism

@catsalad Stremio is a terrible app that pirates use often, even worse when paired with a debrid service. Criminals can even load it on to smart tvs. Just awful

@catsalad

I would definitely avoid The Pirate Bay:

https://thepiratebay.org

@catsalad have a look at this list that Big Content wants you to block: https://mstdn.io/@jomo/105285472563166570

@catsalad

Stremio is by far the most optimized and stable experience. In many ways, it's actually more seamless than the streaming platforms.

Apps available for all platforms

Here's a tutorial from Reddit:

@catsalad I don't know about sites, but definitely don't use Soulseek. I once accidently installed Nicotine+ which as it turns out is a Soulseek client, and I had to report myself for it.

@catsalad stay away from the pirate bay and vpns!

@catsalad Wouldn't it be more apt to say it no longer works the way you don't want?

@catsalad i love you for being the shitposting glue that makes this federated mess feel like a community. thank you for your service 🫡

@catsalad animepahe needs to be added

@catsalad I would add this to the list: https://pirates.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page

Literally a website all about movie piracy.

@catsalad not movies, but for old games, you can block romsgames.net

@catsalad Definetely DO NOT subscribe to the Lemmy comunity @piracy, it's so full of sin, I feel like I need to go to church just by thinking about it.

@catsalad Unrelated, but wearing a Very Pretty Necklace is super helpful in keeping yourself sin free.

@catsalad Thankyou, I was needing to refresh my blocklist as well

@catsalad I'm not interested in streaming sites, but which torrent sites are there to, er, avoid? Other than 1337x, YTS, TPB, EZTV, or Nyaa for anime?

Oh, and ebooks, of course. Are there any mirrors or alternative domains for LibGen, BookFi, Anna's Archive, etc., that I need to be aware of?

@catsalad and this one

https://bflix.sh/home/

@catsalad you should really block this site

http://186.2.175.5/

@catsalad s.to or bs.to

is useful to overcome series addiction. i think it is german but you can change dub to english, thats why it must be blocked at all costs

@catsalad I came here to collect all of the sites I should block.
Thanks for the entries.

@catsalad

You might want to block https://www.gomovies.tw/

It's really quite naughty and should be blocked 😜

@catsalad

2012, streaming services (Netflix) have converted me from a pirate to subscriber.

2022, Streaming services have converted from me from a subscriber....

@catsalad You might find something for Your filter list here
https://www.reddit.com/r/torrents/

@catsalad
It's touching how much help you've received, how your followers have advised you to block all that. I think I'm going to make a list of all THOSE MALICIOUS SITES so I can block them too and not end up with MY COMPUTER FULL OF PIRATED MOVIES that will take me months to watch and make me feel EVIL AND GUILTY. 😐 🐈‍⬛

@catsalad 1337x, btdigg and qbittorrent's built in search.

@catsalad why do I feel this is a psyops to collect a list of piracy sites...... because it's like if you don't believe in pirating movies and don't know where to go anyways why do you need a collective list from the community?

@catsalad

I've had xspeeds.eu blocked for a few years now although you're safe from that one unless someone rudely sends you an invite

@catsalad Yarrlist.com has a solid list of sites that you would probably want to keep yourself safe from.

@catsalad
The list would not be complete w/o limetorrents.lol

@catsalad I’m old school, i just block PLEX

@catsalad my favorite site to block for movies is 1337x dot to. make sure to also block this official mirror, x1337x dot eu!

@catsalad i feel safer already. thank you all for this excellent blocklist 👌

Thank you everyone, for keeping my streaming devices safe from accessing movies and TV shows without paying for them.
