movie-web always seemed like such a sitting duck for takedowns like this. Any form of piracy that’s grabbing from a few centralized streaming servers is bound to be shut down.

P2P torrents over a VPN is the most resilient way to do piracy.

As I don't see it here mentioned enough: sudo-flix is a fork

It is hosted at https://sudo-flix.lol/ for now :)

Is there an alternative way to register a domain that cannot be seized? It seems like domain seizure is the one thing that enables internet censorship. Is there some sort of block chain base registrars out there? I'm genuinely curious.

You can't have valid HTTPS on bare IPs.

When are people going to start hosting their own git servers ? It can't seriously be that hard.

It costs money

You can rent a vps for 4$ / month, Forgejo for server is open source.

I mean, the hosting company would be the likely target then and they'd probably lock your account and switch off the server. Depending on your nationality and that of the hoster, at least.

What does it really change? If you're in legal troubles, the same request will come from your hosting or internet service provider.

It was a streaming site that pulled from a large amount of other sources automatically.

Funnily enough it didn't have any discovery features whatsoever (no front page, popular, latest etc), it was just a search bar that took you right into the video so you needed an idea what it is you wanted to see. And I don't think it was nearly as popular as other sites (like you probably weren't finding it from search results, as I don't think it even had the info that'd be grabbed, and probably didn't even have SEO or anything like that)
