■■■■□ Free media links website.
A guy named nbatman on Reddit accidentally built the most useful website on the internet.
It’s called FMHY (Free Media Heck Yeah).
This is the website Google delisted from search for DMCA violations, Reddit shadow-banned for promoting piracy, the Motion Picture Association flagged as a top piracy threat, and the RIAA pressured hosting providers to drop. It is still online. It is still updated every month.
Here’s how it works.
FMHY is the index. The wiki itself hosts nothing. It just tells you where every free thing on the internet actually lives, organized into 14 categories with safety ratings on every single link.
→ Movies and shows in 4K from 50+ streaming sites
→ Music at Spotify and Apple Music quality
→ Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, JetBrains
→ Every paid course on every major learning platform
→ 100 million books and papers through Anna’s Archive
→ Free alternatives to every paid AI tool
→ A SafeGuard browser extension that flags unsafe sites in real time
It started as a single Google Doc maintained by one Reddit moderator in 2018. Google killed it with a DMCA takedown in 2023.
The community rebuilt the wiki on its own domain, mirrored it to GitHub and IPFS, and now runs it across 12 backup domains simultaneously.
There is no company. No CEO. No central server. Six anonymous volunteers maintain the entire thing in their spare time. Donations through Ko-fi pay for the hosting. Nobody profits.
Hollywood can’t shut this down. Spotify can’t shut this down. Adobe can’t shut this down.
The entire subscription economy is held together by you not knowing this wiki exists.
