I have been a user of Real Debrid for some time now and looking how easy it is to watch whatever the heck you want with light apps such as Stremio a sudden doubt came to me, how does these Debrid services even get to be that stable and copyright free?

I mean are they playing that “we offer a cloud service” flag? Because even old school services such as MediaFire and Mega who I guess say they are personal cloud services get some files flagged too…

Or is it only that their user base ain’t as big as the aforementioned services? I don’t even know if this is true yet, I am a RD user more nowadays.

        So since Real Debris just like YouTube its a legal service , if you upload a movie to YouTube and a company send them a notice to take down that movie , YouTube will take it takedown and company happy :) the same is with Real Debrid.

          But man, the scale should be way lesser then, I mean, that have never impacted me to watch stuff, either if it is old or new content.

    This is what I found from a Reddit comment: Debrid services literally are just like if you downloaded from the share website directly, as if you had signed up for an account with them. And/or the debrid service downloads the torrent on their server, and you stream from it.

    This is already protecting you from any potential legal issue.

    Some people may get warnings/potential legal trouble for torrenting directly, but this is only because when using torrent you also become a hoster of the content yourself. This doesn’t happen with these.

      Think you’ve missed the point a bit of OP’s comment. They’re asking not how the end-user is protected from copyright claims, but how the debrid service itself is.
