It was the new big project of the Motion Picture Association and theAlliance of Creativity and Entertainment. A few months after the closure of FMovies, which mobilized the resources of the giants of the film and television industry, another pirate streaming site falls. Braflix closes its doors from this Monday, November 4, one year after its launch. The announcement was made via Discord to some users before the site was officially taken down. At the time of writing, a message replaces the interface. We can read there:
“Braflix is officially closed. Thank you to everyone who participated in this incredible story, who helped us create a strong community”. After a minute, the site links to the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment homepage and legally accessible platforms. The administrators of the site, which had reached one million monthly visitors, explain that it was a formal notice sent by the London Police and the Motion Picture Association which led to this closure. In the message spotted by Torrent Freakthe site which obviously operates from Brazil explains: “We're sorry we can't continue to fight for free entertainment, but we have too much to lose.
The owners of Braflix add that no other site will see the light of day. They even invite their followers to exercise the greatest caution. Clone sites, less scrupulous about respecting the privacy of visitors, could emerge in the coming days. Braflix explains: “We know that, just like what happened to FMovies and Aniwav, many fake sites will appear to imitate our brand and with the same style as us. Be careful, there is and will not be another Braflix. Braflix, it’s over”. According to information from TorrentFreakmany users of the Discord channel are already looking for a new alternative.
Piracy is on the rise
Piracy is making a comeback. While until very recently the trend seemed to be towards using legal offers, piracy figures around the world have started to rise again. Attendance is up 12% in four years. In 2024, there will be no less than 385 million daily connections to pirate tools and services. Every day, many sites are springing up to meet this demand. In France, it is Arcom which is responsible for the fight against illegal streaming sites and pirate downloading. In May 2023, the organization congratulated itself on the effectiveness of these measures. From December 2022 to May 2023, 38% of Internet users with illicit audiovisual uses have been faced with blocking of sites. Arcom added that collaboration with audiovisual rights holders could promote the detection and decommissioning of mirror sites. However, faced with the multiplication of services, the explosion of supply and the rise in prices, the trend does not seem ready to reverse.
