    Its a really bad idea to link directly to such sites, especially ones as good as this. You’ll just accelerate their demise.

      Fortunately, it’s really hard to make lemmy comments shows up in search engine right now. Even if I search GP’s username and part of their comment, I could not get his comment to appear in google search. On reddit the comments usually searchable on google in mere hours.

      Possibly true, but what you’re theoretically looking at isn’t hosting pirated content. It’s a link aggregator that finds an available file to stream to you from servers that already have the full file, which may or may not have been assembled from a legitimate source or torrent. Legally, this gives them a layer of plausible deniability - disclaimer IANAL.

      So if this one goes down, as it probably will, someone else will just build another streaming link aggregator that does the exact same thing - there’s more than few out there. This is just basically round 238,592,394,321 of internet whack-a-mole.
