| I will be honest. It will never truly die out on the open web. It will just become more government-run honeypot websites...that is assuming it isn't already honeypots. |
TransferUser said: They also do share revenue tho, because in order for an official merch to be "official" it has to be licensed by the production committee, since they are also IP holders. That's not how production committees work. Production committees share costs, they don't share revenue. So just like how the author makes a little bit of money from every merch sale, so does the production committee (specifically if the merch is from the anime not the source, which is 99% of all merch anyways) |

| @MadanielFL Depends on the contracts. There's no benefit to doing it in this convoluted way, though. If the production committee itself could hold rights and have revenue it would need to be it's own legal construct that has to pay taxes and be registered. Why would you do that to yourself? Much easier to only share costs. Then the streaming platform doesn't have to pay the merch maker and the merch maker doesn't have to pay the streaming platform. Each company gets all the rights they need by putting money into the project at the beginning. But this differs from project to project. Maybe some production committees have agreed to share revenue based on what each put in at the beginning. It all depends on the contracts. Either way, it doesn't change that you get a vote with your wallet if you buy merch and Japanese Blu-rays and that the streaming company gets the vote if you give them your money. Even if they get some of that money back through contracts made when forming the production committee, all they get is a bit of money. They don't get your vote in what type of anime should be made more of. |

Cammell said: Will anime piracy every die out on the open web? Piracy will likely never die out, but getting access to pirated content online will only become more difficult as time goes by, specifically if one lives in a place like North America. As an example Government laws always change and in certain states in America soon will start blocking access to countless websites due to new ID laws across America to prevent children from accessing social media at a young age and preventing them from accessing adult content. This will force either Users to give out their personal info to confirm they are legal age or force them to rig up back door ways to access sites that will soon be blocked depending on where one lives in America. Because all sites that do not have verification systems will likely simply just be blocked off from accessing in said state. As of Jan 1st where I live there will likely be countless websites that will be completely blocked to access. On the surface, it's all in the name of trying to protect children from internet porn but the real goal is to erode privacy and hate speech on a local level while creating a database of everyone's internet traffic practices in more detail than what has already previously existed. This is also likely happening in numerous other conservative states across America too. It's already been estimated by some people I know who have been follow these new laws that over half of all websites that remotely have any adult content on them and many random social platforms will no longer be normally accessible where I currently live starting day one in 2025. This would include numerous websites that cater Anime, Manga, and Hentai too unless they implement their own age verification system. |

| never made sense to me people mourning/panicking about sites being taken down, torrents are reliable and unbeatable. Any of these sites being taken down means close to nothing, also most of the time they just steal subs and/or are flooded with ads anyways |

Not really going to effect me since I don't actively spend time on the internet obsessively looking for porn to jerk off to or waste my time all day on social media platforms. But in over 21 other conservative states across North America, tens of millions of internet Users are going to be in for a culture shock starting any time in the beginning of 2025 when suddenly they are going to be forced to hand out personal data just to legally view pornography on the internet or to simply view some social media platform. I even saw a few days ago that pornhub, which I hear is an extremely popular site that Users use across North America, is not only going to be blocked where I live but likely blocked in the other 21 states starting day one in 2025. I looked over a long list 1st hand seeing which adult sites will soon be completely blocked off in my state and over half of them I never even knew existed but I am pretty sure they are popular enough that they even made it onto such a list to begin with. This is exactly what happens when laws are created to solve a so-called 'problem', when a real problem didn't really exist in the 1st place. Texas has already had such laws in place for the last year and it has solved nothing. Where teen Users are simply just finding porn sites and social platforms hosted outside of North America where a state law doesn't mean shit to the site owners for not complying to their stupid fascist draconian conservative laws that trample over the constitution in the name of trying to protect children from the "harm" of social media and internet pornography. Yet in basically almost every state in North America, a child is still allowed to legally handle a firearm. When it comes to internet access, it really should be the responsibility of parents when it comes to what a child can and can not be exposed to. The government has no business getting involved with such things much less making things like viewing internet porn and social media into some federal crime. |
