One head gets chopped off, two new ones spawn.
It's always an issue of service. Make it more available. Adjust the price. Increase content availability. It's not a rocket science problem, it's just a problem of corporate greed, and law abuse
Yup Gaben called it, just look at Steam.
Except if you're Nintendo. They somehow managed to kill the emulating sphere.
But that doesn’t please the shareholders or appease the apparently ever more concerning necessity for infinitely growing profits.
It was a sad period to see one thing that worked so great fragment like this
You are welcome
I thought they were talking about nyaa.si for a second but thankfully not.
50's gangster nyan cat.
As they continue to make life harder for paying customers more people will stop paying
I don’t disagree, but these weren’t paying customers
My point was that making life harder for non paying customers doesn't negate the fact that they make life harder for paying customers.
A bootlicker wouldn't understand this
Yeah. I legally owned most of the seasons of South Park. Then their parent company was sold to whoever owns Paramount+ and I can't legally buy seasons anymore. I have to subscribe to Paramount+ instead. I'm just gonna pirate that shit.
Not to mention some episodes ended up banned. I don't remember the season, but there was an episode where Kyle joined a cult and the super rescue team was composed of Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed and some other religious figures.
Correct they were non paying customer who were dissatisfied with the quality of service
They voted with their feet!
Instead of being an idiot and funding your enemy, they took direct action.
They deserve our respect and support
I never said anything critical of the users, I just thought the OP might have missed that detail. I pirate stuff sometimes when it’s not easy or reasonably priced to buy.
Meanwhile, I just search "watch anime online" on ddg or yandex and check around, while ublock origins does its job and ensures I don't get harassed by ads and shit clickjack javascript (the ones where clicking anywhere opens the ad). A good pirate never makes a single port his home
EDIT: Ok, something that really caught my attention in the article: In April, (...) Japanese authorities arrested and prosecuted China-based owners of "one of the biggest illegal anime websites," B9GOOD. - Now THAT is unexpected. China complying with Japanese copyright for a change?
Good. Even one less person watching anime is a win for humanity
I don't watch anime, but let everyone watch what they want. Even if they like to watch the "most degenerate" versions of Hentai. I don't fucking care.
While you hate anime for no reason whatsoever, I hate you for hating something for no reason whatsoever. My hate still makes more sense.
I've been using the same anime/manga torrenting site since the mid 2000s and I can't believe it's still up. Gonna be a sad day when it finally closes down.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Thousands of anime fans were shocked Thursday when the popular piracy site Animeflix voluntarily shut down without explaining why, TorrentFreak reported.
"It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Animeflix," the site's operators told users in a Discord with 35,000 members.
Although Animeflix operators did not connect the dots for users, TorrentFreak suggested that the piracy site chose to shut down after facing "considerable legal pressure in recent months."
Then in mid-May, rightsholders—including Netflix, Disney, Universal, Paramount, and Warner Bros.—won an injunction through the High Court of India against several piracy sites, including Animeflix.
On Reddit, some fans also complained after relying exclusively on Animeflix to keep track of where they left off on anime shows that often span hundreds of episodes.
“We hope the joy and excitement of anime continue to brighten your days through other wonderful platforms," Animeflix's Discord message said.
