Do they think they’ll be the first people to actually stop piracy? Most people don’t even do it anymore because it’s easier to just pay $5-10 a month or whatever it is now.
Welp piracy is regaining momentum because now eveyone and their mother has a streaming service and asking 15-20$ each
Yeah it's not convenient at all. There's 11 of them. I didn't mind subscribing to Netflix for a while. I used to get the DVDs and watch them, and it beat going to Blockbuster. I found out that something is on FX, and even though I pay for "cable" which gets FX, I can't watch it.
Also the services are shitty.
I've yet to encounter a streaming service that matches the quality of ye olde fansubs of the early 2000s.
I’m happy it still exists as a safeguard then. Digital distribution practices are a little silly.
That is what it is meant on the surface, but at the root, it is meant to set precedent for more censorious bullshit.
They don't want to stop piracy, they failed to capture japan for the most part, so this is the best next thing.
If you want official anime/manga, you'll have to pay the lolcowlizers and the leech distributors
I think they imagine that they will be able to fucking do the internet version of american interventionism regarding pirate sites.
They can block access to VPNs, most people cant get around that.
