The Movie Basket has just closed, the Movie Basket suddenly appears, a trick or a new force?

The pirated film market has just experienced an "earthquake" when the Movie Basket suddenly closed. Thinking that it was the end, immediately, a brand new name – Film Basket – appeared. Is this a "cicada escape" trick or a new force challenging the law?

Vietnam's online entertainment market in recent days has been shocked by the news that one of the famous non-copyrighted film platforms – Film Basket – officially announced its closure. This decision was made at the right time when the entertainment demand of the audience increased the highest in the year, surprising the public and raising many big question marks. However, when the "earthquake" of the Movie Basket had not yet subsided, another piece of information continued to cause a stir: the appearance of the Movie Basket.

According to information recorded from the official announcement on the homepage, the administrator team of the Movie Basket website has decided to stop all operations from 05/02/2026. Instead of the usual technical reasons that are often "knocked down", the representative of this platform gave a rather long letter, revealing the journey from its inception to the time of realizing the negative consequences that the website brings to the country's cinema industry. The closure is explained as an action to show responsibility for digital content copyright issues.

Public opinion began to talk about the "implicit" principles that this website used to apply. Unlike many pirated websites despite profits, this unit affirmed that it has made every effort to say no to the posting of Vietnamese films and theatrical works too early. The original purpose was supposed to protect revenue for domestic manufacturers. However, the audience also frankly pointed out that, no matter how many rules are set, operating a platform without copyright is still a violation of the law and directly affects the mainstream digital content ecosystem.

The event also sheds light on a hidden corner in the operation of free entertainment websites. The management admitted that although they initially aspired to build a high-quality, ad-free and completely free movie space, economic realities forced them to compromise. Server maintenance and huge operating costs led to the appearance of commercials, which they initially wanted to avoid. This shows that the "free for users" model always comes with high prices in terms of stability and legality.

However, what surprised the online community even more was the fact that immediately after the Movie Basket announced its closure, another website called Movie Basket was immediately revealed, which is said to have the same interface and similar way of working. This information quickly spread, raising big questions about the veracity of the announcement of the closure of the Movie Basket. Many users question whether this is a "cicada escape" trick to avoid the pursuit of the authorities, or the birth of a new force, ready to continue the path of copyright infringement?

Authorities and copyright owners in Vietnam have also tightened the siege on websites that infringe on intellectual property in recent years. The closure of the Movie Basket, and then the Movie Basket was revealed, is considered a complicated development, requiring more drastic involvement to clarify the nature of the incident and strictly handle violations. Vietnamese audiences now need to re-examine their entertainment habits, towards legal platforms to ensure personal rights as well as promote the sustainable development of cinema, avoiding aiding and abetting activities that harm the digital content industry.
