It is a sad day and year for Piracy. Soap2Day was the best of the best. So was RARBG.

Why are all these piracy sites dropping like flies? There was no warning/explanation for why they went down. Higher running/maintenance cost doesn’t explain it, because why not just temporarily shut down until the bills come down? Plus, the timing is bang in the middle of the reddit protest too, which is setting my conspiracy alarms off.

      thanks man. Unforunately torrents are a no go for my ISP need VPNs. I must have grabbed thousands of movies via F12/ inspect element for years with soap. I guess no one is serving content like that any more. :( super sad

        You install addons which search various sources for what you’re looking to watch.

          Maybe I’m just missing something but I’ve yet to find an addon that isn’t torrenting. Although many of the addons are not really labeled.

              That’s what I thought. I didn’t know about it till mentioned (thank you) and went looking but am hesitant to torrent without a vpn. I’ll have to keep messing with it and hopefully find an https stream that works.

                It primarily depends on what country you live in if you need a VPN. Where do you live?
