very famous and was always in headlines whenever it came to its rise, fall,
privacy-related issues, shut down and many more. It was featured throughout its
existence in TorrentFreak.
It was TorrentFreak that reported in 2017 that Ted
Osius, the Us – Vietnam Ambassador, was linked with the local ministers to shut
down the illegal sites that provide videos and movies streaming illegally for
free of cost and that too worldwide to such a larger audience without the
acknowledgement of the Vietnamese Government. In this list, he mentioned
123movies. In 2018 alone, it was estimated that the site received around 98
million users per month.
Then finally, in 2019, the site announced from its
official platform that it would shut down itself and urged People to pay
respect to the Film Industry and the art of Filmmaking and the struggle behind
it. Furthermore, it urged the users to pay the fees for tickets and watch
movies legally.
This is a very big step to stop the illegal access of
movies and videos that had no safeguard and were being screened to such a large
audience so easily. 123movie
