      My regular stream site started having issues tonight, so this was kind of miraculous timing! Hopefully one of these works!

    Piracy and anime are joined at the hip. Even in the 90s before we had streaming, you could walk into any Japanese toy store in New York and guess what you would find? Rows and rows of bootleg anime DVDs. At half the price (or lower) you’d pay and with titles not released in the US. There are so many pirate sites now I hadn’t even heard of the ones in this article.

    So after 30+ years of fighting this losing battle why do they think they will win it now?

    Streaming services should be required to provide free access where they are allowed to put ads at the beginning and only once or twice depending length and not cutting a scene. And maybe free access could be limited to a number of episodes.

    Anyway my point is be real, some people won’t pay because they can’t or because you don’t want to subscribe to 10 streaming sites. Especially when sometimes there is only one anime, tv shows you are interested in. So real solutions should be found if companies really wants to fight piracy…

    For Tv shows piracy has never been so low as when Netflix had reasonable price and was the only one. It offered a real alternative and people where willing to pay for it.
    I also believe crunchyroll do a lot of good as it has a quasi monopoly but it’s starting to erode with Netflix and Disney starting to get animes. 😕
