@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 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.
