123Movies, GoMovies, GoStream, MeMovies or 123movieshub was a network of file streaming websites operating from Vietnam which allowed users to watch films for free. It was called the world's "most popular illegal site" by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) in March 2018,[3][6] before being shut down a few weeks later on foot of a criminal investigation by the Vietnamese authorities.[7] As of August 2024, websites imitating the brand remain active.

  5. ^ Ernsto (28 October 2016). "UK Piracy Blocklist Expands With 123movies and Other Streaming Sites". Retrieved 22 February 2019. The 123movies.to website is by far the largest target on the list. The site is currently the most used pirate site in the UK, and attracts millions of daily visitors around the globe. While the looming blockade will result in a temporary reduction in traffic, 123movies is already anticipating such measures. The streaming portal currently features a message alerting people that they have an alternative .ru domain available that may help to bypass blockades.
