Recently came across this project called movie-web, it's a site that allows you to stream free movies. They host their own public instance of movie-web though, which is strange as most people with piracy related projects don't host it for the public, then I came across their disclaimer:
movie-web does not host any files, it merely links to 3rd party services. Legal issues should be taken up with the file hosts and providers.
As I looked into the site, all it does is aggregates different sources for streaming video, and embeds it, which allows for them to avoid having any legal issues.
They have a list of sources that they use/considered/used in case you don't want to spend years finding a good source. Anything that's green shouldn't have issues with CORS or ads.

The idea isn't to use this project, but take inspiration from it to watch our BIPOC-led films in peace.

Yeah afaik it is still completely legal to be on the receiving end of a pirate media stream;
the only problem with the way we did it here previously was that the media was hosted on rdrama servers and not at some other intermediary. Nevermind our domain is registered in the US.Jump in the discussion.

popcorn time torrented the movie instead of streaming it, which would be considered piracy
