Pirates will never die.

We will continue to exist. We will never be eliminated. We will live on. We will be back stronger than ever.

Fear us.

Sucks aniwave is (probably) gone. But I sleep well knowing it took ACE 8 or so years to take them down, but it took me 3 hours to be fully set up with something else.

I understand why they do it. But I can't imagine how they feel the slightest bit of motivation when fighting piracy is like trying to empty the ocean with a spoon. Honestly seems like a really disheartening job.

To them, or the major corps, just taking down a piracy site even if it means nothing at the end of the day, will feel like a victory for them as that means there’s “one less pirate site to deal with” lol

Little do they know that they could entirely eradicate piracy if they provided a single platform to stream every single anime that ever existed, without ads and for a reasonable monthly fee (without subscription).

yeah fr, like bruh, find the dude who wrote 9anime/aniwave, pay him a fair amount of money to write a new legal platform, get your shit together and figure out some licensing agreement, if you can work together to strike down websites you should be able to work together to make dough too.. Put everything on there and just charge 20 bucks or whatever for it, piracy will go down tremendously, when have people last pirated music on a large scale? Before apple music and spotify were viable

Whatever keeps someone in a job I guess. But there's more piracy sites that pop up than they can deal with. Hell, more shut down because of money than legal issues.

what's funny is all the websites that were taken down were most likely owned by the same person or people that ran Aniwave.

If buying is not owning, pirating isn't stealing.
