How to forever convert people to pirating 101. There are so many anime streaming sites out there, and word goes out pretty quickly when one gets killed and two others get up. Copyrights holders are losing the whack-a-mole game, they know it and are doubling down. Quite funny to observe how short-sighted and denying-reality [supposed] adult people can be.

I mean, they have to fight. If they shut down, everyone except the most dedicated anime watchers lose out. And I'm sure anime streaming is nowhere near as prolific as TV (some of which also serve some anime). I guess if people are fine reverting back to the 90's where they can barely share new shows with potential new friends, it's a better future. Sounds like a good way to ruin a lot of the respect slowly gained over the decades though.

  Who has to fight? Sony? You seem to be implying somebody else. Sony is fine though, more than fine even, since they figure they'll just do their very best to be scummy. Obviously no business wants to roll over and just die, but if they fight super dirty and when their word is obviously not worth a dime then the consumers' reaction is predictable, no?

    No one has the fight. But someone mad and rich enough could potentially fight. Or the right lawyer who cares enough to whip up a class action. Will it happen here? Probably not. Anime isn't that respected. But there's also a lot of rich and very invested anime fans so I wouldn't be completely surprised if someone was bored and angry enough to sue on their own.

Absolutely. I don't know how these people can think like that (including netflix). I was so happy just to pay for something so I don't have to have the horrible UX of piracy. But they fucked it up so bad, removing movies I wanted to watch, pushing ads etc. that I'm back to a seed box. Weird stuff.

  Sonarr makes it easier than ever.

    Yeah, I have sonarr and radar and stuff, but still, I have missing episodes quite often. Even with usenet and torrents :(
