Real-Debrid Implements Extreme Anti-Piracy Filters to Appease Film Companies * TorrentFreak
torrentfreak.com
Real-Debrid, a popular tool among pirates, says it's implementing far-reaching anti-piracy measures including hash and keyword filters.

In light of recent events regarding RealDebrid we do not recommend people use addons powered by RealDebrid for their Kodi library, and we strongly do not recommend that people pay for RealDebrid service.

You may still promote these addons in the community, there is no ban on promotion of usage of these addons. They are simply not recommended as they likely will not last or remain functional for very long.

What is forbidden is encouraging others to pay for RealDebrid without making this fact clear to people, as many people may not have heard the news and would waste their money on something that may not work for the next few months.

It should be noted that snarkiness or rude comments towards users who wish to not pay for RD due to this or any other concerns are considered uncivil behavior and violate rule 1 of the community rules.

    Interesting. I was having issues with Fen Light and RealDebrid, read that Fen Light is no longer recieving updates and figured that’s the issue, switched to Umbrella with RealDebrid and everything started working fine again. Maybe my experience will degrade again soon.

    I’ll look into this Torbox and if I remember right Premiumize didn’t allow a Privacy card.

    Link to what’s going on?

    Long time realdebrid user, currently using Fen lite, what’s a good alternative to realdebrid?

    Also just found out this community is on Lemmy now 😆😂

      There are a few posts on [email protected] but the gist of it is that RealDebrid is based in France and they got hit with an order to crack down on infringing content, they also ended up torching their API so the service is now useless for all Kodi addons which use it. Some of which are hardcoded to it.

        Not compatible with Fen light, I went with All debrid, seems to be working well.

        Side note, Just read that the fen light dev quit apparently.

      Alldebrid is also based in France, so will likely get the same notice as RD. It remains to be seen whether they’d comply like RD has, but FNEF has taken filehosts to court before. RD arent naive to the fact their actions have completely hamstrung their business

        Yep it’s down. Only paid for the week version, so no big loss. Going to investigate torbox and premiumize tonight

          I’m on premiumize, which is probably the most expensive option. But they don’t restrict the number of devices, simultaneous access etc, which made it worth it for me since I share access with family (side note: I’ve done the same with RD long-term without much issue, just got a temp warning once).

          I think Torbox will be the best option for most, but have only read into it without trying it. Premiumize torrenting seems faster than RD, but filehosters seem slower.
