I have crossed out All-Debrid too as that is also hosted in France and is bound to be hit by the same hammer as Real-Debrid was.

Not sure myself, just went with one month of Premiumize to test that first. Will then try the rest too see which service suits me better.
Ah NVM… Debrid Link is also French… https://debrid-link.com/legal
Not sure tbh. Guess it depends what you are downloading and if you are using their service directly and not through their API. They will not block and ban people downloading stuff from their banned lists and their API can no longer be used.
It’s better to switch Debrid Service to support someone willing to host a better service imo.
In short: it’s gone “full legal” mode. Blocking most used streaming sites and removed their API access. So it’s literally unusable for folks sailing the high seas.
Do as you wish, pay for what you want to pay for - its your money.
That being said; these services will have to comply with French law. Real-Debrid probably didn’t have much choice to do what they did as they were hit with a formal notice from the French Federation of Film Distributors (FNEF). The french have been for a long while now been trying very hard to remove as many of these services as possible. First it was Hadopi agency, now merged with the Higher Audiovisual Council to form the more powerful regulator Arcom. Here’s a SS from this article about their anti-piracy efforts in 2022.
Similar services that are hosted in France will have to comply the second they get a notice from Arcom. France is obviously way more committed to removing piracy I’d say its a good call to not pay into french services… Personally, I wont be paying for services hosted in France as I believe its only a matter of time before more are struck down.
