Look I know a lot of you are torenting and have lots of technical knowledge. But the objectively easiest thing is to just google “(name) free movie online “ and it used to just work with lots of websites.
But now thanks to AI integration those sites are checked and “disposed of”. I had to come on here to find a pirating site that still worked. It was just pages and pages of random ass articles no mater what I googled.
And before anyone say, just torrent it. Let’s be objective here, you are downloading random ass software on your computer. That is something most casual pirates don’t want to do anymore. Hell a lot of us just wanna watch it on a tablet or something so stuff like that requires even more technical knowledge.
”The best anti piracy measure is to have a service more convenient” well that cuts both ways. In this case they can’t make streaming better, so they made piracy harder.
It will be interesting how the piracy sites fight this, and how the engine fights back. Demand for piracy will be as high as the price of streaming so this will probably never end.
