    “Please use legal paid services” yeah I would if

    1. They actually had the content I’d like to buy available for purchase
    2. I actually get a copy to keep and not rent for an indefinite period of time until the rights holder and / or vendor forgets to renew and it gets automatically removed.

      Netflix had Attack on Titan and Death Note at one point (first time I watched both was on Netflix) but now they only have the awful Death Note movie, which I hate with a passion

    The King is dead. Long live the King. The people going after these sites are just playing a game of whack-a-mole. New sites will always sprout up to fill in the gap.

    Half the shit i want to watch isn’t available on Crunchyroll, but was readily available on Anix.

    Somehow a piracy platform had integration with Anilist, but something you pay for doesn’t. Plus the price only continues to rise, but the service continues to get worse too.

    It’s always a service issue. People will just find different ways to achieve the same result

    I would use legal alternatives… Had they the content I want…

    Right now, if I want to follow an anime in Europe? Maybe first season is in netflix, but second could be in crunchyroll (maybe), then half of the third is in an obscure and unknown service… And the other half is in Amazon prime.

    I want to pay the legal alternative, what I won’t do is subscribe to 6 different streaming services a month, that won’t guarantee the availability of a show even after the first month and watching ads forcedly.

    Piracy is a service problem. And with streaming, we have a huge service problem.

      it’s so funny too, Netflix was the service solution. Netflix and Spotify being good for a while there was the biggest hit to piracy since it’s inception.
