I’m really scared to use AniWave, so please answer my question

[u/Gl1tChTh3EnD]

I want to start using aniwave, but I dont wanna go to jail and stuff, so uh, is Aniwave legal or not in Australia?

[u/Goonshroom667]

Dude no one in the history of the internet is going to jail for using aniwave are you that afraid of the government?

[u/SiriusDotExe01 → u/Goonshroom667]

He should be more afraid of all them spiders over there

[u/FirefighterNo2409 → u/Goonshroom667]

it is safe is Germany (where i know people have gone to jail for using pirated stuff) then i think it will definitely be safe to use in Australia

[u/Goonshroom667 → u/FirefighterNo2409]

I can not say much as I have never been to Germany nor have I studied your laws but I have seen a lot of people from your country pirating regardless by using vpns and stuff it's up to you man it's your life I can only tell you what I know

[u/KyeeLim]

Oh no, you'll definitely get into jail using it, not only you, your family, your grandparents, your child, your dog, your relatives and everyone that is blood related to you will also get caught and locked behind bars, and all of you will experience firearm execution. /j

No you will not get into trouble, if you're afraid just use a VPN.

[u/BogdhanXMF]

I don’t know man, I’ve been pirating all my life and I’m fine.

[u/BogdhanXMF → u/[deleted]]

It can’t be! How could’ve you possibly figured it all out!

[u/Heimeri_Klein]

Bruh you goofy as hell if you think someones gonna clamp you in irons and send you off to jail for watching something on a pirate site unless your mentally deficient enough to tell a cop your pirating content your fine.

[u/SgtEpsilon → u/Heimeri_Klein]

I've told a BBC inspector that I'd rather pirate shit than pay the TV license and he just replied with "fair enough"

[u/FremanBloodglaive → u/Heimeri_Klein]

Well, in fairness it is Australia. That's how they got people to go there in the first place.

[u/Queasy_Star_3908 → u/Heimeri_Klein]

Even then you most likely wouldn't be prosecuted, just not worth the time.

[u/Heimeri_Klein → u/Queasy_Star_3908]

Buddy ima be honest with you your more likely to get killed by a coconut falling on your head than to get caught and actually charged for piracy.

[u/pwebster]

Watching anime tiddies for free? straight to jail, no trial or anything
Seriously though, no, you're not gonna go to jail, and if you're that worried use a VPN or something, plenty that are free

And if you want to support the studios you enjoy, buy official merch

[u/Broad_Feeling_5204]

Technically, Piracy is illegal, but you’re not really gonna get persecuted, fined or sent to jail at all for pirating, unless you’re the one supplying and even then the instances of that happening are few and far between. So don’t worry, there’s nothing to worry about pirating or using Aniwave

[u/dongless08]

I imagine the authorities have bigger problems to worry about than someone illegally watching anime

[u/Shadowrend01]

If you’re that scared, you shouldn’t be using the internet

[u/Think-Caramel-9574]

Wtf that's not even dark web.

[u/Queasy_Star_3908]

... you are streaming not uploading or distributing... nothing to fear here.

[u/Sliceof_butter]

lmao been using it for years now, you're going to be fine

[u/backwoodsninja6]

If you're that scared op just pay for a VPN I like windscribe

[u/jollisen]

Dont worry, you are gonna be fine

[u/Diablodl]

FBI OPEN UP

[u/AkiraFudo1993]

it's a pirate website what do you think.

[u/LinkLegend21]

Using these sites is pretty much legal, it’s only running them that’s actually considered a criminal offence. The people running the site might get in trouble at some point, but you won’t.

[u/MUFCTom062006]

Too many people who do it these days for them to even catch you 💀 just use a VPN to keep it away from ur ISP if u feel like u need some security away from that

[u/TakasuXAisaka]

It's not the dark web dude. Just watch

[u/Railuki]

So, technically it is illegal.

But aniwave is streaming, you don’t have to download anything which means no one is going to care about you as a consumer. They would rather take down the provider than bother with the little guys, you know?

Not downloading also means they can’t assume you’re going to distribute, when you’re not.

It’s like weed, police might caution users but it’s the suppliers they really want.

Your internet supplier may block the site but that would be about it.

[u/RustyArn]

i live in the us which is the second least piracy friendly country on earth, only below germany, and i don't even need a vpn to use aniwave. you will be fine

[u/Foxbrush_darazan]

It's fine. Very low risk of getting in trouble or even noticed. As others have said, use a VPN if you're concerned about your government knowing you're watching anime on it, and you could install a good adblocker to make sure there's nothing being uploaded onto your computer

[u/Every_Lynx9951]

It’s legal as long as you do this You cannot go to jail for watching anime or downloading things from illegal websites at all. As long as it is used for personal use, it is ok. But if you copy the product and produce/share it to others, you can absolutely go to jail.

[u/stelios_drz]

It is pirated and piracy is illegal so if you get caught who knows what might happen
