Real-Debrid, a popular streaming and download service, says it’s implementing far-reaching anti-piracy measures, including hash and keyword filters, in response to a notice from the French Federation of Film Distributors. The API and instantAvailability feature are set for deactivation too, while content from “notorious” pirate sites will be blocked.

    …well shit. What now?

    Edit - I just saw some kodi devs suggesting torbox. Looks like accounts can be shared and the top offering has Usenet built in. No add-ons support yet… But eventually it looks like umbrella will support it.

      I still have 2 months left on my account. I’ll wait and see what happens in the next few weeks.

        Yeah I’m curious if cocoscrapers with the torrent search enabled will make this a non issue… But the website scraper was kinda great to have. I’m a bit shocked but honestly am surprised we haven’t heard more scrutiny on them …

        Edit - or is it time to start paying for orionoid

      What stops Usenet from being attacked legally in the same way, aren’t they straight up hosting copyrighted content? I’ve always stuck to torrents because it seemed more decentralized, especially if you use DHT instead of an indexer.

    Zurg seems to still work. So people who use this for Plex or Jellyfin shouldn’t be to affected.

    Stremio users on the other hand either have to switch services or wait and see what the dev from Debrid Media Manager comes up with.

    Personally, I’ll probably switch to AllDebrid until TorBox proves it can handle the influx of new customers and grows it’s cache.
