    Imagine generating ad revenue for sketchy sites serving stolen content

    I feel conflicted about sites like those vs things like torrenting and other p2p. Torrenting is individuals sharing things directly.but aren’t those sites hosting the pirated content and serving their own ads along side? That feels closer to theft for me than piracy.

        Yeah I’m glad that these pirate streaming sites are taking a lot of heat off us

      I’ll admit I prefer fmovies and the like when I don’t want to wait for a download and want to watch it now.

      Last Week Tonight is often in that category.

      But shows like Parks and Rec, Lower Decks, that shit gets torrented.

      Besides, I think Fmovies has a much lower barrier to entry than torrenting.
