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^[update], websites imitating the brand remain active.
