Don't believe what you read. Fmovies is absolutely fine.

The Guardian and other liars are reporting Fmovies is "shut down"

PSA: make sure you use a VPN and a good adblocker like ublock origin before visiting any of the listed links. We have not verified whether these are legitimate fmovie mirrors or scammy clone sites.
- Question from a dummy: why should you use a VPN when visiting?
  
  IMO it's a good idea to use a VPN when accessing any pirated content, as a general rule. While there are exceptions (e.g. usenet, specific countries with piracy-friendly laws/enforcement) and it's arguably unlikely end-users of pirated streams would be prosecuted, why take the risk? It's cheap insurance and there are few downsides. In some countries ISPs will act on reported piracy at your IP address and you could have your internet cut off or suspended, and/or be fined. So, better safe than sorry.
  
  Some western countries have very strict copyright laws (e.g. Germany and the U.S.) where if an ISP sees you accessing pirated content, your internet access might be cut off or you might even get arrested.
  
  Plausible deniability
how do you know they are fmovies?
- the proof of the pudding is in the eating
  
  That's how you get a bug online my man...
  
  But either way, I thought it was sus how they were able to flip all of them together. Sounds like a propaganda more than anything ?
Like a Hydra; You cut one head off; and two grow in it's place.
You're just posting fake clones of the official websites again. The original website was taken down. The ones you linked are just other pirate streaming websites using the same name for recognition.
Yeah but aren't those clones? Before, it was something like fmoviesz.to
- a lot of the people making these posts don't realise they are going to fake clone sites with a lesser library that could even be potentially dangerous. even outside of this space people are fooling themselves, I saw someone on discord post a fake 9anime link yesterday.
  
  Yeah, for now, I'm trusting the clone posted on fmhy.net
  
  If you're watching the things you want to watch, the "That's not the right site so it doesn't count!" argument doesn't make much sense.
  
  There's no such thing as "fake" or "real" in this context.
- Seems they don't care, as long as the f is in the title lmao
damn mirrors are awesome
Uh oh didn't you read whyesseffs rant yesterday you rascal? She coming for ya
Aniwave my poor boy :(
- Hahahaha
  
  Imagine believing a website is down because a paper says so.
  
  Takes five seconds to find.
  
  Aniwave is down though...?
  
  send
I'm disappointed so many people give credence to the Guardian. They have abysmal track record in reporting on topics they don't have expertise in or subjects they ideologically disagree with.
- I'll grant you that their tech column is dismal, but I happen to agree a fair bit with their ideology so I'm pretty much fine with their (so far) unpaywalled news site...
don't disrespect the mission accomplished banner!
The video doesn't play though (?) Only the website is working
- I tried the .ps one and it worked for me
  
  palestinian pirates pulling through for you
