Does Fmovies provide pirated content?
Well, kind of, but not really. Fmovies does not really host the pirated content on their servers. Instead, they provide their visitors with links to other servers that are hosting the pirated movies or tv shows. By redirecting the user to different servers they protect themselves from any kind of legal action. But still one can say that they are promoting piracy and copyright infringement.
The government has finally started shutting down sites like 1movies, primwire, Showbox app that are using similar tactics. Sites like Fmovies are hosted offshore so even when the website is taken down the owner remains safe from any kind of legal action.

Those ad networks can contain links to explicit content, malicious content, and adware. So, it is highly advisable to have a good antivirus installed in your system before you visit these websites. Having a VPN with an additional firewall will protect you from most kinds of threats. You can also try ad blocker plugins that will block all kinds of fishy ads and popups.
