該網站從不同的域名關閉後經歷了數次更名,有時更名為「123Movies」,有時更名為「123movies」。最初的名稱和URL是123movies.to,後來更名為123movies.is,再後來更名為gomovies.to,後來又更名為gomovies.is。[1][8][9]後改為gostream.is,再改為memovies.to,最後改為123movieshub.to/is,直至關閉。[6][7]

2016年10月,美國電影協會將123Movies列入其向美國貿易代表辦公室提交的網絡惡名市場概述中,並指出:「根據SimilarWeb數據,該網站在全球Alexa排名為559,在美國本地排名為386。2016年8月,123movies.to的全球獨立訪客數為926萬」。[4]2016年10月,商業內幕報告稱,「123movies.to是英國"使用率最高的盜版網站」。[10]

123Movies包括高清、HD-RIP、藍光槍碟品質的影片。它使用的視頻主機和播放器包括 Openload、Streamango和MyCloud。在其存在和關閉期間,《洪流怪物》對該網站的功能、運行時間/關閉時間、關閉和關閉原因進行了報道。[6][7][11][8][9][12]

2017年12月,123movies的創建者推出了另一個專門播放日本動畫的流媒體網站AnimeHub.to,在123Movies關閉後的幾個月里,該網站一直保持在線狀態。[13]

關閉

2017年3月,《洪流怪物》報道稱,美國駐越南大使特德·奧修斯與越南信息通信部部長張明俊就關閉從越南運營的非法視頻流媒體網站進行了會談,並將123movies列為其中一個網站。[14][15][16]

2017年10月,美國電影協會將123Movies和GoStream.is列入其向美國貿易代表辦公室提交的《在線惡名市場概述》中,指出雖然該網站在技術上是由烏克蘭託管的,但「該網站採取了許多措施來隱藏運營者的身份,包括使用Cloudflare,但有充分理由相信運營者仍在越南,內容是使用網盤芹苴大學的許多電子郵件賬戶上傳的」。[1][11][6]

2018年3月,美國電影協會稱該網站是「世界上最受歡迎的非法網站」,稱其運營地在越南,並估計每月有9800萬訪問者。[3][6]2018年3月19日,該網站主頁上的一則說明宣佈其關閉,並呼籲用戶"通過付費觀看電影和電視節目來尊重電影製作人」。[7][16]

再現

2018年10月,美國電影協會在向美國貿易代表提交的《網絡惡名市場更新報告》中稱,在2018年越南的一次刑事調查之後,123movies、123movieshub、gostream和gomovies相繼關閉,這是打擊非法電影盜版服務的"重要進程"。不過,美國電影協會的報告也指出,至少在其他八個國家出現了許多山寨網站。[2][12]2018年11月,《洪流怪物》報告稱,與123Movies相關或類似的網站(如WatchAsap)也被聯邦調查局關閉,但重新指向其他文件共享網站。雖然該網站在印度被封鎖,但2018年在印度還是出現了大量克隆網站。[17]
