Following a formal notice from the FNEF (https://fnef.fr/les-adherents/), Real-Debrid is strengthening its anti-piracy measures. As you already know, we actively comply with DMCA and are already blocking a certain number of infringing torrents. In the coming hours: - audiovisual files available on a number of cyberlockers listed on the USTR blacklist or listed in the European “CCounterfeit and Piracy Watch List” will all be blocked. - a filtering by file name will also be applied, in accordance with the request of the FNEF, this may unfortunately lead to false positives that we will process manually. - a blocking of all torrents hashes of private torrent trackers mentioned in cases at the Paris judicial court - a complete purge of files potentially cached on the previously mentioned criteria - the deactivation of the API endpoint /instantAvaibility - a blocking of counterfeit Kodi / Stremio applications to the extent that they are identifiable
I mean you can just swap to another provider.
Personally I use a *arr setup and just used RD as download, I’ll just swap to a different provider
That is true. You can switch to a new provider, and hopefully there are some that won’t become unstable in the future.
Although in some cases of RealDebrid addiction/dependency like with Kodi addons which stupidly hard-code or otherwise only utilize RealDebrid they’ll just end up broken and no longer functional. Thankfully most cases are flexible and don’t cause that to happen, and also hopefully this event teaches addon devs to not be so dependent on a single service.
