Popular piracy "brands"‽ 😐🤣 You trying to set precedent for infringement by insinuating that scene groups are corporations and therefore legit and direct competition? Aww, that's adorable. How fucked are your handlers in the grand scheme of things if this is the new tactic? 🤗

Downloading any of those apps will give you malware so just go to the megathread and use what site you like there

People trying out these kind of apps aren't pirates. This is like dipping your feet in the inflatable kids pool with diapers in it because you don't know the way to the sea and even if you did you don't have any sort of ship or even raft and also haven't gotten over the fear of being wet. Maybe someone with the intention of pirating would be doing this in costume.

The threats are what keep us alert, circumspect and fleet-footed in our use of web technology. Always have done.

Those determined to find a Kimi alternative still don’t have to look far. In less than a minute, we were able to spot another pirate streaming app that’s not concealed at all. The app in question uses popular piracy brands such as “Gomovies” and “123movies” in its name, and lives up to expectations. Users who manage to crawl through a web of advertisements eventually have access to a wide range of popular movies and TV-shows. This includes blockbuster movies, Disney shows, and Apple exclusives. The app we found has been around since May last year and has more than 1,600 reviews.
