They had extensions to enable the reading of the content, I'm surprised that they didn't strike earlier.

  Those extensions were just glorified api clients / web browsers. This is akin to a company threatening the developer of a torrent client.

    This. It's open source so I highly recommend people take this into their own hands and clone the repo. There's many forks people use anyway such as TachiyomiAz. Keeping this thing working is trivial. Anyone with basic html and css knowledge can edit plugins. Don't forget that forks on GH get deleted too so make sure to make a new repo.

    It’s more like a torrent client that has thepiratebay built into it. The main point of Tachiyomi is to have easy access to pirated content directly in the app. Tachiyomi without extensions is useless. Another analogy: An emulator that also displays all ROMs and lets you play them directly. It downloads ROM from various websites, similar to Tachiyomi.

  Did they enable reading of content that you couldn't already access with just a web browser? My perception was that if it was behind even a basic login, you wouldn't be able to use Tachiyomi to view it unless you had an actual login yourself.

    If the extensions are specifically intended for pirate sites, that could be construed as the Tachiyomi developers inducing their users' infringement. If Chrome stuck bookmarks to pirate sites in the default user profile they'd be liable, too.
