This behavior is very concerning, especially since it’s not a one-off, their other replies on that account aren’t much better.
I was on the subreddit for real-debrid and theres so many ppl praising them still and expecting the service to function like normal after removing their endpoint. Then ppl complaining because they cant add their pirated media, like wtf what did you expect they got busted. Theyre still there but the reason theyre still alive has been burned so, time to jump ship. Off to another place to get my files
Holy shit, this company is based in France and they’re publicly doxxing their users in the replies.
I don’t even know what to say, under GDPR they’re extra fucked now.
Because they’ve been so keen on being law-abiding do-gooders this whole time, right.
I mean they should be aware that criminal charges stack up right? They’re not going to get anything good from making their own situation worse by doxxing customers (multiple comments on their profile giving out the email addresses of their customers). That isn’t going to help them and is just going to make it so much worse for them.
I have to imagine that the person or people behind Real Debrid are quite likely slightly delusional. You kinda have to be if you want to start up a piracy business. People who set up these sorts of operations generally go through life under the impression that they’re invincible, that they’ll never get caught, that whatever legal loophole they’ve devised using SovCit logic is going to save them, etc. I very much doubt he cares about stacking up charges, because in his mind he’ll never face them.
I know I’m late to the parrrty here, but for dumm-dumms like me, anybody care to explain what the cause behind this was?
From what I can tell Real Debrid was based out of France… but what made them change their tune all of a sudden? Did the owners get threatened similar to what people think happened to the guy running rarbg?
Or did France just suddenly start enforcing copyrights or something? If so, then does that mean any other things non-debrid related that are based out of France are likely to run into issues too? Like, I know some open-source stuff also uses (or at least used?) France as a soemthing of a copyright-haven so that they could basically host patented media codecs etc in a separate repo (I think Fedora nd OpenSuse both have unofficial repos that do that). Wondering if that kinda thing would also be affected too or just the *debrid stuff?
I find it hilarious, that anyone in their right mind (commenters in this thread included), is expecting professional accountability from a sites employees whose only function is to enable illegal piracy, and attempt to thwart any public admission which would get in the way of raking in revenue. I mean cmon people, read the room, lol. You pay for your ticket, and you take the ride, and that’s it.
It astounds me that people are expecting professionalism from somebody whose entire business is built around facilitating a crime. What are their other reviews like? “The staff at the underground dogfighting arena were so rude and have no customer service skills. 2/5, would not visit again.”
