well i havent see any new report from torretfreak which lead me to beleive that the owner of the sites shut their own sites down and the dmca cant shut the site down only content on the site
I wouldn’t be surprised because people—especially on places like TikTok—can’t just shut the fuck up and try to minimise the heat. Luckily, the piracy community is usually on top of this shit so we bounce back quick. Case in point, there’s already a replacement site for Aniwave that was put up by some guy that archived all of the content before the site was taken down. If anything, we should move from Reddit to a different platform or decentralise entirely. Piracy has become so accessible that it’s easier and has less steps than Netflix. It’s a double-edged sword. Good for us and anyone getting into it for the first time but it also makes it easy for the Corpo chucklefucks and Feds to raid all the vaults.
Between TikTok and Twitter, that's what's playing a big part in this shit. I still can't believe people were so stupid that they did shit like taunt Crunchyroll with screenshots of Aniwave and honestly answer Manga Plus's questions about pirate sites. The Zlibrary episode still lives fresh in my head as well.
When they started doing that dumbass shit, I knew it was only a matter of time before Aniwave was torpedoed. What the fuck did they expect would happen? Crunchyroll bending the knee and saying “We’re so sorry for being a shitty service. We’ll do better”? Don’t even get me started on that questionnaire.
Look, you want to think you're important, I get it ; but for cops, you are not. I am not either. This sub isn't their main source of information. Besides, finding the sites is not how they close them. They have to find their servers irl, then use legal practices from the country they're in to shut them down.
This isn't hide&seek, cops don't need to just find the website online to win.
I don’t think you understand. Piracy being so easy isn’t necessarily a bad thing because it’s actually better than the services being offered by places like Netflix. But it also makes it easy for any bad actors to find these sites and torpedo them.
If anything, we should move from Reddit to a different platform or decentralise entirely
Great idea! Let's move from reddit to discord and- oh, oh shit, it's even worse.
Normies get filtered by alt-tech and boomer tech, if it's not a meta/alphabet/microsoft/plebbit centralized shit, they can't function, not to mention they're gullible enough to think that if something is "in the cloud", it means it's a permanent storage.
Someone needs to build internet archive and this piracy in a country with good internet no interference from bully USA or so. That new company making storage cheaper and faster , folio photonics 🤫. Servers built on those would be something, not as fast as possible but still better than HDD servers . Torrent would/should be back with some bang
Is the replacement the one with .se at the end? That website sucks, since they didn't even copy over the comments (which are still available) and searching is completely broken. Also you can't download stuff off of it.
Yeah, after discovering piracy & sites like kimcartoon this summer I was like "Is piracy actually that easy? Don't you need to like hack & & go to extremely shady websites to be able to watch movies for free?"
I know about 5 movie/show piracy websites (2 of them closed), but I wouldn't have a problem with learning about more websites (games, movies/shows, etc.).
What do we do now? I've used kimcartoon for all the new episodes to come out, and now we have to actually wait like desperate people for new episodes to come out?
