Following a formal notice from the FNEF (https://fnef.fr/les-adherents/), Real-Debrid is strengthening its anti-piracy measures. As you already know, we actively comply with DMCA and are already blocking a certain number of infringing torrents. In the coming hours: - audiovisual files available on a number of cyberlockers listed on the USTR blacklist or listed in the European “CCounterfeit and Piracy Watch List” will all be blocked. - a filtering by file name will also be applied, in accordance with the request of the FNEF, this may unfortunately lead to false positives that we will process manually. - a blocking of all torrents hashes of private torrent trackers mentioned in cases at the Paris judicial court - a complete purge of files potentially cached on the previously mentioned criteria - the deactivation of the API endpoint /instantAvaibility - a blocking of counterfeit Kodi / Stremio applications to the extent that they are identifiable
You should probably try to get your money back via chargeback. This service is basically useless at this point, so might as well get money back better spent on something else if you still can. Worst they do is ban you from the service, a service they have already made not worth it anymore.

Eh, I won’t die over 20$, it’s due to something out of their control that anyone could have seen coming, and I’ve been quite the satisfied customer since I’ve been using Real-Debrid. I wouldn’t judge anyone for doing a chargeback, but I personally don’t really feel the urge to do so.
That is true, $20 isn’t much in this day and age. It’s not something you’re going to die over or be in trouble without. I would still do it mainly out of principle since I’d rather not help them along with one more payment like that. Of course I haven’t ever signed up for them, and I obviously never intend to now.
