naens said: It's not such a big problem for USA, because they have legal streaming sites for anime and an English official translation of weekly manga magazines. But the other parts of the world depend on piracy if they want to follow manga and anime... I hope it improves someday... But crunchyroll doesn't have every singe anime and manga out there. For people who really like anime/manga that isn't very popular will have a hard time if they want to buy or watch it legally (which it probably won't have a great effect anyway). |
| Ha. Ha. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. I'm laughing because you got hurt. |
| End of online streaming/pirating anime era? Try. |

Drunk_Samurai said: GodlyKyon said: Yes, even hollywood movies are being pirated. Even the American goverment can't stop piracy but if it can be pretty serious to Japan losing alot of money because of all the anime and manga piracy but still thats how most anime's and manga's turn famous to countries who have plenty of otaku's (except Japan) Also it doesn't completely erase anime and manga piracy because of the sites that do not have headquarters who are set in Japan example crunchyroll i think is based in the USA so it does not affect them unless it turns to a global matter. "American movie industry claim that 20 billion is lost yearly to pirating, this is false. The money are still there, but spent on stuff like clothing, food, housing, etc. The Movie INDUSTRY may have lost 20 billion dollars, but the people are still using it" What is up with these awful arguments for supporting piracy?[/quote] We're not supporting piracy were just sharing what we think. Also that new law is only bad to us who watch pirated anime and manga's but the new law is good to the authors who should be RICH right now... |

Also you're ridiculous if you think they would be rich. Most of the money would be taken by greedy people. |

Yep, most of the profits go to publishing conglomerates like Kadokawa and studios like Aniplex not the creators. |

| I'm on already on alert right now for anime watching. But it has been more than a month already, anyone know any sites that have actually been hit hard? |
| I love anime and manga with all my heart, but as long as they don't target websites with english translations. Don't care. I already buy a shit load of manga (I have a library with over 400 of them, just sayin'), and until specific a manga/titles comes out in english, I won't buy any and I already pay for netflix. I'll keep torrenting and downloading, especially if they aren't released in english. If you think I'm a cunt, well sorry! |
| I ship things I want! Why? Because it's fun! I post retarded shit at times, sorry-- my dumbness might infect you!Please be cautious of me! I don't come with a security label! My anime list hasn't been updated for a really long time, so it's not accurate! |

| If they're behind the widespread ddos attacks, it's merely an exercise in futility. Torrents are just migrating to sites like pirate bay, and if they hit those too, it'll live on via the massive network of forums and IRC, which are much harder to take down. |

You are fine man, no need to apologize geeeezzz [b];-)[/b Hehe xP Well, some people just think torrenting is So bad. I think Japan benefits by the fact that they get to see who watches what. If I like a show or a manga I will definitely get it, unless I didn't do any cash like when I was younger or unless it doesn't get an translation =X But like ErwinJA stated, I'd just go on forums and IRC like when I was a teenagers, like 6-7 years ago if the piratebay and Co. shuts down. |

Oyukimaru said: I bet they will try to close down Pirate Bay lol No, the Pirate Bay MOVES, like a real ship!  If one of the ports it is staying at closes, another one will be open!!! Long live the great ship! |
| Still streaming illegally Japan. Still streaming... |

| It seems they are shipping magazines out late to combat scanslations, but that just means we have to wait a couple days longer. Now its FT Mondays and Magi Tuesdays instead of getting them on Friday. I'm guessing this will spread to other magazines as well in the near future cause the only ones I know of that are affected is Shounen Sunday and whatever Fairy Tail is in. |

It does seem a bit too weirdly timed to be a coincidence, and the DDoS attacks DID come from Japanese servers (not that it means anything, since people tend to rent Japanese servers for their good speeds). |

The only reason there's an "if" there is because it's still unconfirmed. I'm better than 95% certain it's directly related to this supposed crackdown. They're the only ones who really have motive to pull this off. The only other probable option is a group of rabid fans who want to support the industry, and that's a bit of a stretch for any number of reasons. |
| Well... good luck with that, as I watch stream I hope they fail. |

Reddawg99 said: nyaa.eu has been down for 3 full days now, and it was on their list. I don't think this was BS, I think they were laying groundwork to take as many sides down as possible at the same time. I think if the Japanese government were to try and take down nyaa, they wouldn't DDoS it. There are much more efficient and decisive measures that could be taken (like with megaupload) - and since they're the government, I think they probably have the means to carry them out. |

| TT still down? Heh, yesterday the nips over 2ch were all "Nyaa is down? whutever bruh, we have TT" >their faces when MAG is DDoS'ing it too. Anyway, it's not like they have to money to ping it forever. Just download your stuff from IRC bots in the time being. |
Reddawg99 said: nyaa.eu has been down for 3 full days now, and it was on their list. I don't think this was BS, I think they were laying groundwork to take as many sides down as possible at the same time. Yes, attacking foreign servers, I'm sure that would go over well. |
| From what I'm hearing it seems it's not the anti piracy government doing this, it sounds like hackers are the real culprits in this. Crunchy roll, mal and other big sites has been attack by hackers, hackers have even gotten hold of celebrity nude pics and are posting them online. I don't think the government would DDoS these sites, instead they would've permanently shut down those sites. |

I don't think the government would DDoS these sites, instead they would've permanently shut down those sites. lol nope. The Anti-Piracy related shutdowns are only with anime trackers and uploaders. meaning: nyaa, TT and fansub groups. They can't mess with CR (because of MPAA and stuff) nor MAL and other communities. DDoS is just an easy way to cause discomfort, it's not like they have to money and resources to keep that during 5 months (like they say). |

And I'm saying that they are unrelated events. The DDoS are most likely M.A.G. doing, while MAL was the classic SJJMaster and CR I have no idea. |
