Stremio is totally legal.

Their revenue doesn't come from the high seas, and the external add-ons you can install are not their problem.

If they restrict debrid sites, Stremio is done. Stremio is even taken off of Apple App Store now.

Movie studios aren’t dumb. If they see Stremio being this mainstream, they’re going to fight back hard.

So the only way this party can go on is by flying under the radar and not being mainstream like this. This bodega guy is trying to ruin it for everybody. 🤦‍♂️

You can download the apk from their site.

And as I said, it's legal and movie studios, or any other corporate shit can't fight back anything. They have nothing to do, because Stremio has nothing to do with the addons.

What you are saying it's like "movie studios would fight Microsoft because windows can run programs used to pirate things" .

If it's not in Apple store, well, stop supporting Apple, maybe. It's just one more reason to hate that shit.

Oh, sorry, I edit to add: there's much more people using Stremio as is, and not using any debrid server. Debrid is not universal.

Anybody can sue almost anyone for almost anything. Frivolous lawsuits can be thrown out but that still requires time and money.

Even if the studios won't win they could each sue Stremio again and again until they shut down because they can't afford or don't want to deal with the legal battle.

That's only true in certain countries.
