RARBG Has Been Shut Down

RARBG recently announced that they are shutting down, they gave a number of reasons on their website such as increased hosting fees, the war in Ukraine, and losing employees to the pandemic, but I think the recent pressure from the US on Bulgaria to stop internet copyright infringement and online piracy also plays a significant role in the site shutting down.

It's ironic they shut down as Hollywood came up with the ultimate DRM. Make movies so bad no one wants to watch them even if it's free.

RARBG originated in Bulgaria, and here the economic issues are hitting hard. I just wanted to add that as a proud Bulgarian we had something global giving people free stuff.

RIP 💀 props to them for running a nice site for so long

[MaJetiGizzle]

RIP RARBG. You will eventually be forgotten, but P2P file sharing will not. So your sacrifice will not be in vain.

Shame to see RARBG disappear. Their low file size encodes weren't too bad, and had many high quality encodes too

[seankennedy]

While this is definitely sad I'm happy to see that it wasn't shut down by some sort of government authority and by the owners of the site themselves.

Whenever the Federal government whines about the abuses of foreign governments, I just think about how Julian Assange is still in prison and therefore I can’t take anything they say seriously.

The internet I grew up with is slowly dying off. It was good times while it all lasted, within 15 years we might perhaps only have our archives and memories left.

Be careful about mock sites popping up to give you malware etc

As an American, our government is WAY too involved in how people in other countries live their lives.

Thank you for always providing fuel for my borderline dangerous obsession with Linux and equally pervasive hatred of Windows

[incremental_failure]

The irony is that if you tell any American about their problems. Most just say "mind your own problems, you're not American". But America is in everyone's business, even on minor issues like this.

It was my favourite torrent site, i came across this yesterday and just wanna thank the entire team for all those years

[MrHack-zmyt]

As a Bulgarian, this will be a very sad moment

[alexanderwoolley]

This will have a drastic effect on the economy

[baremetaltechtv]

damn dude loosing zippyshare and now this, RARBG was a fuggin legend. I wish we could have saved both of them. My heart breaks every time we lose a pillar in the community like this. see you fuggers in pirate heaven my dudes.

[wlockuz]

Damn man, this one actually hurts.
Not only the site shutting down, but hearing about the situation of the members.

[muramasa]

They will be missed greatly. Thank you to everyone involved with RARBG.

Man, this year has been full of blunders

[loganmedia]

I look at the corruption in the US, a country where corporations and the wealthy are effectively the government, and buy laws, like copyright extension, lower taxes for the rich, etc and just shake my head when they want to lecture other countries about fighting corruption.
