It comes away with the same conclusions we've been speculating about legal (take down or seizure), technical (DNS, hosting, server crash), or ceased operations (money grab or ran out of money)
Then again, that seems to be the consensus. That until someone from Redfox comes out and shares what happened, plus proves they are really from Redfox (as they have no other official communication option besides their website and forum), we wont really know, and all we can do is guess and/or speculate.

someone on the reddit had mentioned that they saw on some other forum that they sold the keys to streamfab and thats how miraculously the day after they disappeared streamfab started working correctly. First of all, doubt, second of all if they did do this then does fab still have the ability moving forward to keep this a downloader and not a reencoder once the keys change. This would essentially mean that the companies would need to combine so that AS devs could continue to break through drm hurdles and fab devs could work on software side. I dont see a world where AS devs do this. Will we be down and out once drm changes if this is the case, i sure hope not.

I mean i agree which means that fab is temporarily alive as a downloader unless they also inherited the devs that know how to crack the drm. The only other thing could be that fox will regroup and reopen under a new name and no longer offer lifetime since they ended that anyway. Here's hoping because fab was DOA prior to june 7

but since nothing is working, i'd say they were forced to close their doors.

Originally posted by phelings View PostSeems pretty obvious that Anystream sold the DRM solution to SF when they realised that for whatever reason they were closing down. Really hope they get new site sorted and honour existing subscribers.

If they aren't back up by now, it's over for them. Interpol can find and shut them down, but China doesn't care about USA-made movies. The Motion picture association has a very long reach but not as far as China.Programmer in Python, Java, JavaScript, Swift, PHP, SQL, C#, C++, Go, R

I can guess until the cows come home but until I see concrete evidence supporting any of the conspiracy theories I'm going to go with "I don't know."
