PeripheralVision said: Yes, because streaming is cancer. OT: I really don't know. |
 |
| At the moment it is completely legal. The page is down. |
| no, the legal one is in nyaa.se. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Not illegal for the individual user on the site, not in the same way the government could "in theory" arrest you for uploading or seeding an anime. Those in charge of the site are subject to law though, since they profit from ads without providing pay to the publishers. |
 |
| Yes, Kissanime is an illegal streaming website. A legal website with a huge catalogue like Kissanime is too good to be true. Not that much could happen to you though. There are people that got DMCAs for torrenting but I'm not sure if the same has happened with streaming. |
 |
| Yes. But nobody gives a shit at this point. |

PeripheralVision said: In some places it is legal to own marijuana yet illegal to grow it. Legality is weird.ChuckBronze said: Not for people visiting the site but the people who own the site yes since they make money from ads and don't pay the official companies. Sounds like BS reasoning. If you ban the production of a certain product, you might as well ban the distribution of it. Child pornography works in such a way. |

| Would categorize it around the same level of illegal of downloading music. Nobodies gonna give a fuck. |
absentminded said: no, the legal one is in nyaa.se. nyaa~ |
| You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/. The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish. Show your support to your favorite artist if you can! ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name. For those who want to learn Japanese through anime Resources for learning the language |

| I don't know if Kissanime has legal rights to the merchandise but look at this “When it comes to catching those involved in piracy, it is not our strategy to prosecute the end user [people streaming films at home]. Our interest lies in identifying, disrupting and if necessary prosecuting the individuals who defraud the creative industries by knowingly stealing content – and who then make that content available through illegitimate means for their own financial benefit or kudos.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/household-bills/11649188/Could-you-be-fined-for-illegally-streaming-movies-or-TV-shows.html I wouldn't advise streaming from an illegal website. And I am not encouraging such behavior. I am merely answering the question |

XxChidoriXx said: If it was so illegal the law would've done something about it a long time ago. The law was meant to be broken anyways... It's Japan's product so other countries won't really bother doing anything and Japan had started some project to stop these illegal streaming and torrenting sites like a year ago but didn't really achieve that much. They released a list full of a shitton of illegal websites but only a few were taken down so far. |

IIRC Kissanime was on that list Anyways just torrent, kissanime compression and anti adblock is cancer |
| Full time redditor and fedora owner, gg |
| Yes KissAnime is Illegal. I figured that would fairly obvious scoffs ;P |
 |
| Illegal for them, not for you. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |

| Yeah just typing it into Google can get you arrested. |
 |
| Seriously just watch the anime. |
| I am the scales of justice, conductor of the choir of death! |
| Well when your streaming something your technically downloading it onto your computer as you watch it... Nobody is going to do anything about it though so pirate away. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Yes but nobody cares. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Kissanime was my go-to for anime that aren't available to stream legally and dvds that are wicked expensive. |
| Drop an anime recommendation on my page or inbox. |
| Any streaming site, including the currently-downed site in question, that does not pay licensing fees to the Japanese creators of the shows they stream is illegal (whether anybody cares or enforces it or not). In short, pretty much any site not listed here is illegal, with possible exceptions including Viewster and the stuff re-streamed on MAL and Anime-Planet.

The selection is the same if not better, the quality's better, and you're not letting 3rd-party parasites profit off the industry's work.****anime was my go-to for anime that aren't available to stream legally and dvds that are wicked expensive. |
Clefairiess said: Yes but nobody cares. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Is it illegal for you to use the site: No Is it illegal for the site to exist: Yes It also depends on what country you are from. In Canada, it is illegal to upload anything copyrighted, but downloading is perfectly legal. Use the site... provided it ever comes back. It's my go to. |
 I love Christine "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau |
| Why pay and stream when you can just stream illegally for free, and no one would pull you up for it. |

Yaoi-sensei said: Yes it's illegal. Tho, I don't understand why people won't support Crunchyroll and FUNimation but they support Kissanime. I remember I asked them in FB and they said there are more than 25k users purchased an account there. XD Probably because if you sub to CR you won't have access to Funi's content and the other way around. People (who aren't gullible) are not going to subscribe to more than 1 service for 1 type of entertainment. Kissanime has everything. That said, using Kissanime is not illegal in any jurisdiction I know of. Only the distributor of illegal content is breaking the law (which is why torrenting is illegal, because you upload - aka. distribute - while you download) |
 |
| Yes, but you dont have to give a fuck about that. |
 |
| all is legal without legal action |
| Yes, but nobody cares about it |
