Real-Debrid, a popular streaming and download service, started returning copyright-infringement errors on a large slice of cached torrents.

Real-Debrid, a popular streaming and download service, has started returning copyright-infringement errors on many cached torrents. The renewed crackdown began days after a corporate restructuring. A third-party source says that long-time subscribers have lost 50 to 70 percent of their libraries overnight, with the filter targeting popular keywords such as WEB-DL, AMZN, and [RARBG].

      Update: Real-Debrid’s parent company, XT Network, responded shortly after we published this article. The company explained that the current situation is unrelated to the corporate restructuring. At the same time, it confirms that it indeed uses filters to block content. […]

      The filtering actions it has taken are a response to keyword lists provided by trusted flaggers, which is in accordance with Article 16 of the Digital Services Act (DSA).

      Nah it looks like they just caved to the copyright mafia.
