French Filehost UpToBox shutdown by ACE

Post by goku33 »   2 likes

UpToBox has been basically the main filehost for the entire French Piracy Scene (torrents & Usenet aside).

So now "experiencing technical difficulties" actually means "being raided by the police"?

It was noted that while StudioCanal (French) was part of this ACE action, the vast majority of members are definitely NOT French ... but they were apparently directing the efforts of the French judiciary and French police. Well, I guess this is good news for international cooperation. We CAN at least protect global corporate media, right?
The current governing board members for ACE are Amazon, Apple TV+, NBCUniversal, Netflix Studios LLC, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Paramount, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, and Warner Bros.
(None of these are French-owned.)

Quoi ! ces cohortes étrangères
Feraient la loi dans nos foyers !


Seriously now ... I have encountered uptobox links but I THINK they required me to login to their service, so I was never motivated to try them out.
