I notice that IP/new editors are trying to embed links to active clones of 123Movies (and related sites) into this article. I have asked to indef semi-protection. Britishfinance (talk) 11:39, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Active clone sites are certainly relevant to the article, as a "website" is defined by its content at least as much as by the administration of it. I stand by my comments at that discussion, [1] and support a fairly conservative compromise position: because there is some question whether the main links might contain infringement (if only of the original pirate site), we can avoid putting a directly clickable URL (thereby avoiding any accusation of "contributory copyright infringement" based on our click directly causing an illicit download of any sort at all), but we definitely should report the clone links in text format, preferably in the infobox. In this way the reader's curiosity about whether the site content is online is directly addressed. Any protest that providing the URL might give someone "the wrong idea" is ridiculous in the context that having an article at all will surely be alleged to give people "the wrong idea". Wikipedia isn't about giving people the right ideas; it's about making the sum total of all human knowledge available to everyone on the planet. Note that Google offers no shortage of links under the same heading; but our list can be a framework potentially to provide any information we can come across about who runs the clones and any news stories that have come out about them.

These are links to other providers of streaming movies that have no connection with 123movies, but want to use the article for WP:SPAM objectives. Britishfinance (talk) 17:24, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This article is non-stop spamming of links to other unrelated illegal download sites (given its +10,000 views per day); not just IPs, but by new users. Britishfinance (talk) 19:50, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
