| Yeah, slowly... they will disappear, piracy sites of course. Money loss from those piracy sites is just too much. |

| I don't think so. First of all, piracy will always exist. Atm it's split between streaming and torrenting, with the latter getting less popular in recent years. Honestly, closing a sit means nothing. Setting new one isn't much work and there are many places that let you host pirate content without asking any questions. |
| Nopes, one goes down another comes up. And as long as Crunchyroll doesn't works in my country I am forced to watch it somewhere else. |

| No. I remember when Animecrazy shut down years back and people were claiming it was the end for all sites, yet here we are 5+ years later. There'll always be sites that will pop up and fill the void that other sites leave behind. Copyright law is a slow burn that kills piracy, and while it can take down sites, it takes a long time and very few at a time. Look at all of the live-action streaming sites that host all of the big movies and tv shows, where they have content from actual billion dollar corporations. If those sites are still going, anime ones will find a way as well. |
| HentaiHaven shutting down is more important. |
| I'm new. |
| All the big corporate ones deserve to die for charging money for a shit-tier service... My standard is a bit higher: I'll stick to torrents until someone starts officially offering DRM-free digital downloads of everything. (The music industry learned their lesson, and I actually buy music now. It's time the anime industry does the same.) _____________________________ |

| It's almost impossible to kill them off. When one dies another one 3 will just pop up |
| It seems that when one site shuts down, more pop up. Plus, there are alternatives. As controversial as it is, these sites provided access to many anime that aren't available due to age or licensing. It becomes somewhat of a hassle when you probably have to pay multiple sites to watch all your shows legally, or shows that aren't there or no longer available. This is one of these big dilemmas with getting content in general in the modern era. It is more of an accessibility issue rather than a financial one in my opinion. |
