Fmovies you say? Hadn't heard of it before today but I guess I'll need to do some research now...

Pandoras box was opened a long time ago. Block one site and another will inevitably replace it. Piracy isn't going anywhere.

Why do you think all this legislation is floating around about protecting our children?

Hint, it's motivated by protecting someone's profits.

Anything in the name of protection or security tends to lead to invasion of privacy and/or censorship of information
