There was a dark time when staying up to date with our favorite TV shows and movies wasn’t as easy as opening Netflix<\/a> or HBO Max and pressing a button: piracy was an intrinsic part of every internet user’s life during the 2000s. In fact, it’s likely that you still have DVDs and CDs filled with downloaded content that you’ll never have time to watch. But all good things must come to an end, and this past week marked the final nail in the coffin of one of the most essential websites on the internet<\/strong>. RARBG is dead, long live RARBG.<\/p>\n\n\n

It is easy to summarize a torrent<\/a> website like RARBG in one phrase: “A site for piracy.” Yes, that’s what it was. And yes, perhaps it would have eventually suffered the blow from the industry that sank The Pirate Bay, among many others. But it was much more than that: it was the only place to find many series or movies<\/strong> that would never be released on DVD, let alone uploaded to any of the streaming platforms we can think of. Fifteen years of massive uploads is a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be thinking, “Well, who cares if a hundred Hungarian movies from the 1940s are lost if they have no value to the general public?” We live in a world where the discovery of a lost silent film is an event: Do you really think it doesn’t matter to let hundreds of them vanish into thin air in the face of an industry that is not willing to give them fair treatment? RARBG also served as an encyclopedic library of lost films and series<\/strong>, the last bastion to find some gems that, in another world that rewards speed and novelty, would be buried under a heap of audiovisual mediocrity<\/a>. In 4K, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
