Pelispedia was a group of pirate websites (including www.pelispedia.tv, www.pelisplus.tv, and www.pelispedia.org) from 2019. It was quite popular for being a free hub for TV and movie streaming. But, in an unfortunate significant turn of events, the Pelispedia’s group door was shut forever— and the site was no more. The owners were sentenced to three years and four months in prison due to hosting ‘illegal’ copyrighted content, according to a Uruguayan law enforcement report.
The closure shed light on the shadowy underbelly of such free services and the legal battles they constantly face. But this battle doesn’t end here. Authorities and copyright holders continue to intensify their efforts against online piracy. The shutdown of Pelispedia.tv simply helps to remind other similar site owners of the hidden costs associated with running these seemingly cost-free platforms.
Legal crackdown on piracy: Pelispedia.tv’s demise
There were numerous complaints from film and television production companies about copyright infringement from the Pelispedia group. Pelispedia.tv generated illicit revenue using copyrighted entertainment which attracted massive amounts of traffic. They leveraged form this traffic and made a profit by showing advertising.
In May 2019, Uruguayan authorities conducted a raid on the Pelispedia founders’ residence. Later the owners were subsequently detained for 90 days straight.
The shutdown, orchestrated by Montevideo’s authorities, highlighted the intensified global measures being taken against online piracy. It shows the high resolve of copyright agencies to take down the unlawful dissemination of copyrighted content. The shutdown also shows the growing cooperation between local law enforcement agencies and such copyright holders.
The shutdown of Pelispedia also helps to remind, not only the site’s admins but also its users to explore legitimate streaming options. This shift towards legal streaming is vital to the continued growth and sustainability of the entertainment industry.
Later reemergence of Pelisplus’s legacy.
Despite the clear message sent to pirate sites and users, Pelispedia’s legacy is still around. Although not the official sites, there are now lots of copycats using the same name. While the top-level domains from Pelisplus and Pelispedia (www.pelispedia.tv, www.pelisplus.tv, and www.pelispedia.org) were shut down four years ago, fast forward to 2023 and now there are a handful of Pelisplus and Pelispedia domains with different domain extensions.
The Pelisplus and Pelispedia of today (2023), are also online platforms to watch movies online for free with minimal advertising interruptions. They all offer a convenient space to stream series and some even provide the option to download in HD quality. Some of these sites are, www3.pelisplus3.com, pelisplus3.link, pelisplushd.mx, www14.pelisplushd.lat, pelisplus.lat, pelispedia.one, www16.pelisplushd.to, pelispedia.la, and more.
