From August 1,?Japanese government wii give notice to about 580 illegal anime and manga uploading websites in oversea to delete those contents.
http://yaraon.blog109.fc2.com/blog-entry-25718.html
This kills the anime industry.
Face it, every anime fan overseas got into anime through piracy.
>>111163716
About time, they have been way to lenient.
>>111163890
Only streaming sites will be killed. I'm ok with that.
>>111163716
>overseas
And they will do this, how?
>>111163950
You what? Read the op again. It says anime and manga UPLOADING sites.
>>111163716
And nobody will give a fuck.
The biggest manga streaming sites are in countries that don't give a shit.
And Nyaa doesn't give a shit either.
Worst case scenario is that a bunch of redditors can't stream anime anymore.
>>111163981
They only said they'll give "notice".
>If you don't stop pirating our exports, I'll...I'll...I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU
There are 580 anime and manga uploading sites?

This happens at least once a year, its a good excuse for anons to dust of their Ron Paul folder
They're only depriving themselves of any cash (however minimal) that would come from overseas in forms of buyfagging or tourism
Someone translate some of the comments please.
I'm not really worried.
As long as Daiz runs the cartel, I will always get my chinese cartoons.
>>111164234
This one?
>>111163890
This. I dont think they realize all theyre going to do its kill interest and popularity. Hell, shit like the Madoka streaming in murrica and Knight of Sidonia on netflix wouldnt have happened if not for fansubbing.
>>111163716
What are they going to do if the sites don't comply?
Oh no, they're going to crack down on piracy. Because that has been so effective in the past across all mediums including anime, I better start panicking and posting Ron Paul images all day.

Nothing will change.
The source says even only chinese anime and manga piracy acounted for about US 5600 million dollar last year.
>>111164557
That could have funded your favorite anime.
>>111164514

That's 5.6 billion. What
>>111163716
One does not simply request that illegal anime and manga gets removed.
ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY REMOVE ANYTHING OFF THE INTERNET.
>>111164557
Ah yes, the "if they didn't pirate it they would've paid for it instead!" argument.
>>111164557

YEAH OKAY
>>111164514
Some vanilla got deleted and every retard and their dog started claiming it was the end of ehentai although it effected less than 10% of the shit on there

>>111164431
This isnt something you can easily provide a citation. Think of it rationally though. Would anyone in the west give a shit about Madoka to the extent they do now if we had to wait years for release due to a non existent fansubbing community? Why would the movies be aired in theaters if nobody gave a shit?
"Casuals" and normalfags represent the bulk of western anime fans and regardless of whether you like or dislike them they're still the reason why shit thats good for us happens. Anime is an easily consumable, varied medium, that can be streamed online for free or very cheaply. If people can't stream it then they will start to care less since not every show is officially or "officially" done by funi, cr, aniplex, etc.

Retard.
>>111164647
This is so stupid, if we couldn't pirate we wouldn't watch anime at all and the few buyfags out there who buy BDs wouldn't buy anything at all.

So as long it's vanilla it's shit? I'd like to remind you that every work is either purely of one genre or a mix of two or more.
Just saying its vanilla shit is wrong, man. Some delicious henreader and kinku disappearded too. And Napata's work isn't shit either.
>>111165023
It's just a tracker so there's nothing uploaded there. You should know this by now.
>Nyaa going down

Not happening, anon.
>>111165023
Then we'll go back to TT, just like old times
this is japan, they'll send a fax to shut boxtorrents down and don't even know about baka
Even if this does kill fansubbing, which it probably won't, it feels good knowing my imouto has a CR account that I can jump ship to.
>>111164872
We might get more "my favorite streaming site got taken down by the government, where do I watch my DragonBleaPiece now" threads.
>>111165072
Are you telling me that there is 50 individual blu-rays? Whats the cost per episode?
>>111164721
Anon you must live up to your destiny. Save the world
>>111164767
Casuals usually use Hulu and CR though, and are willing to wait. So I don't see your point entirely. The fansubbing community was built on hardcore fans watching countless shows a season. For casuals as soon as an easier way to watch it comes around, they go for that. It's why Netflix and Hulu both exploded and led to everyone "binge-watching". It was right in front of them for, in the case of Hulu, just a few ads.
And back in the day, even though people had to wait a few months or years word of mouth got around pretty quickly when a VHS release happened.
The thing is we don't know an alternate world of licensed anime on TV without fansubs. It's known fansubbing, and the ease of getting it, killed a lot of the licensing companies and took anime off TV for the most part. If there were no fansubs would anime have grown through TV broadcasts and rental video stores as it did in the 90s? And would that growth in US popularity still have snowballed the way it did? We'll never know.
>>111164767
>"Casuals" and normalfags represent the bulk of western anime fans and regardless of whether you like or dislike them they're still the reason why shit thats good for us happens.
Anime being imported and subbed to the west happened long before casuals got wind of it and worked fine. With the rise of CR fansubbing has become increasingly squeezed which is a bad thing - there used to be variety in translations meaning choice and certain groups with affinities toward certain genres and hence knew better how to make good tailored translations have been eradicated or lost interest.
Even if there was several days or weeks/months delay as many of us remember it never dampened our spirits. Also many niche anime which don't get casualfag exposure nor ever will get interest are still subject to the whims of fansub groups because crunchyshit won't pick them up (e.g. Hyouge Mono).
>>111165023
XDCC. I don't torrent anyway since I'm not sure if my college wifi allows it.
>>111164988
You do realize that there's 4 blurays there, right?
LoGH has 110 episodes.
Around 27 episodes on each BD.
Let's get the average price of 750 dollars.
750/27 = ~28 dollars. You're paying around 28 dollars for each episode.
>>111165132
Why does your imouto have a CR account in the first place? Also does she have good taste?
>>111165102
>So as long as it's vanilla it's shit?
Yes.
>>111165023
The Pirate Bay's founder is in jail and the site is still going and migrating when needed. Fuck even Demonoid is back. You can't stop trackers.
>>111165102

>>111165072
It's an OVA series, it's older and on Bluray, it's probably the remastered version, they can sell it more expensive because of age and pedigree.
>>111164823
>>111164840
>>111164848
This. I dont want to sound entitled or anything but for an industry as niche as anime for otaku they should be glad theres some minor interest elsewhere.
If people back home are buying lemonade for $2 and you learn you can sell lemonade overseas for a $0.75 and still make a profit because there some guys who bootleg lemonade thus creating a small market and a slight demand you should go for it. But if you get greedy and not only try to shut those guys down but also try to sell it for $2 maybe they'll just loose interest and go back to drinking orange juice like they always have. After all, lemonade isnt made for them.
>>111165211
>>111165236
Well that just, like, your opinion.
Fuck off and fuck you.
B-but I really like romancing vanilla shit complete with hand holding and dates

Pretty much nothing will go down, since what they'll do is send out a lot of emails saying "Stop doing this OR ELSE", but nothing will ever happen if you just ignore them.

>Why does your imouto have a CR account in the first place?
Didn't know how to torrent until I taught her. Also didn't have a computer until recently so she wanted to watch it on her Xbox.

The only thing she uses her CR account for is Naruto. The few other things she watches are alright, though.
>>111165356
>majority of /a/

>>111165356
But what if they go after moot-kun?
>>111163716
If they do that, they're technically committing suicide because a lot of the anime get their popularity from these sites. You could watch the series and say "hey this is good maybe I'll buy it." Without that, they're shooting themselves in the foot.

>>111165409
They can immediately go to CR or Hulu and watch a few episodes for free. If you had to pay for anything on all the legit sites it would be a lot more of a pressing point. But now it doesn't matter, casuals can get their anime free, easy, and through means endorsed by the powers that be.

Every year "THE HAPPENING" happens and nothing actually happens. When/if it does ill just cave and sub to Crunchyroll since they're not actually shit and im not poor.
>>111163716
I'm a little worried. I do stream the first episode before downloading when it comes to completed series.
>>111165479
What with this new retard defense force?
>>111165494
It's clear nobody wants to pay to stream anime. If they want to pay they'd by the blu-ray. But they'd be blind to the anime and if they hate it then they'd have spent $60 for nothing.
>>111165439
>Not downloading what they liked
They can only blame themselves. Play the game and when you get to lvl20 you can get 2k credits a day, That's like 1 direct download, if they don't want to use or you can't use torrents.

This is pretty bad. Because if the government is stepping in this could lead to ISPs coming down harder on anime distribution. Not all of us are in positions where we can anonymize ourselves.

Yes we are.
>>111165619
>It's clear nobody wants to pay to stream anime
Then why does CR make money?
The old days we were forced to buy a DVD or VHS to see if we liked it. Either that or drive around to countless Blockbusters and their ilk to find hopefully volume 1 somewhere. I have no nostalgia about these days. Fansubbing came along and made it more accessible, and now streaming has picked up that torch and carried it further. I feel like a lot of the people getting so bothered by "needing to pay for anime" generally are products of the endless summer and didn't know what life was like 10-12 years ago.
>>111165403
Jews don't go after Jews, it's in the Torah
>>111165494
Thats not the point dumbass. Not everything is provided by the legitimate providers. Furthermore without the ease of streaming fansubbed anime those legitimate stream sites wouldnt exist in the first place because the owners wouldnt be very aware that was something people would be into and the people themselves wouldnt even give a shit about anime.
The average streamer is the average western anime fan.
Hmm,
Does anyone here happen to have a list that documents some of the websites that have been asked to be taken down?
I have certain theory which personally I need evidence for.
>>111165665
>Uhhh no it doesn't.
You're right - we get one of these scare stories near every other month now.
>>111163716
>Most older shows are only available as streams as most torrents simply don't exist or are far no longer being seeded

What will they do anyways? Threaten people with ''WE WILL STOP MAKING ANIME!''?
>>111165732
Tor only works if you know what you're doing. The majority fuck up and then blame the software for their troubles.
>>111164309
> I dont think they realize all theyre going to do its kill interest and popularity.
This argument worked 6 or 7 years ago when anime streaming was in its infnacy, but not anymore. Most anime airing are streamed from official sources nowadays around the same time as the Japanese air. Fansubbing has become unnecessary in sustaining the popularity of anime.
>>111165735
Oh yeah. Those were dark days for anime.
>>111165665
I doubt ISPs are going to be able to do much if you encrypt your torrent traffic. They'll know you're torrenting, but not WHAT you're torrenting. If you get a C&D because some faggot sent your IP on a list to the ISP, just start buying VPN service from someone. Hell, I've seen some for less than the price of most MMO subscriptions.
>>111165665
>ISPs coming down harder on anime distribution
Good thing I live in a country where ISPs and the government don't give a single fuck about digital piracy. If everything goes wrong I can just go back to watching anime translated in my native language, although I really don't want to.
>>111165735

>>111165601
>Crunchyroll
>not actually shit
If censorship, poor translating, and bad typesetting are your idea of good, then sure. Not to mention that not every show gets picked up by Crunchyroll.
Is there a list anywhere, do we get a forewarning of some sort?
>>111165732
Tor isn't safe any longer.
>>111164050

>>111165732
>jumping around exit nodes and checking the 4chan ban status on them
Shit's hilarious. Good way to waste an afternoon.
>>111165753
So because something was always done through piracy it should continue to be that way even though it's apparent the more legitimate option is working?
Yes the streaming sites showed it could be done, they played an important role in history. Just as the old VHS trading did before video stores came into existence, and DVD burning and torrents did before streaming sites. It's the natural progression of things.
And, yes, them not having everything is a big issue but that's not something that is going to hinder the exposure to anime (just certain anime) for a large part of the population. What it means, of course, is more and more anime becomes readily available through streaming means.
Even with Netflix not everything is on there, but it still gets plenty of loyal subscribers. Hell Seinfeld isn't on there and people are content waiting for it to show up. I think you're underestimating the consumer in some ways.
>>111165641
Oh here it is.
Depending on what sites are targeted, this could affect BDMVs and manga raws, since most of those leaks originate in China somewhere. But I doubt they will go after those.
>>111165881
Then tell me anon-kun what would you recommend to use, because from what I know TOR is the most efficient and the best to use.
But I haven't researched this shit in months so I'm kinda out the loop.
>>111165939
There are really cunts like this on /a/ who are ok with paying for anime?
>>111166086
There's no alternative.
Enjoy your jail time pedophile, the NSA is watching you.
>>111165760
No, we don't. In the years I've watched anime, I've never heard of anything like this. The Japanese government has never stepped in and cast this wide a net. Distributors (usually foreign in the name of their Japanese clients) send C&Ds, but that's about it.
>>111165821
That's not how it works. The copyright holder (or someone working for it) joins the swarm and catalogs all the IPs. They complain to the ISP of those IPs and the ISP complains to the users of those IPs. It doesn't matter if you encrypt your traffic.
>>111165758
Hypothesis, the word is hypothesis.
>>111165939
>So because something was always done through piracy it should continue to be that way
Sure. We basically cut out the middleman and everyone is happy. It's not like anime studios are payed on a 'per viewer' basis anyway - they reclaim money via merchandise. The idea that western audience are eating into studio profits because they 'pirate' anime is ridiculous.
The only ones who lose out are normalfags who use those streaming sites in the first place.
>>111165939
I just want the things I enjoy for free. Don't care about your moral bullshit.
>implying japanese manlet lawyers have a chance against Daiz and his knights of faggotry
Whatever.
>>111166096
Yeah we've grown up over the years, established an income, and are fine with the low cost of an annual subscription. Back when I was a kid the price of one year of CR was equal to 2 or maybe 3 DVDs.
Don't let nostalgia lie to you /a/, the past was a terrible time.
That's ok.
Like all true fans on nippon culture I have imported enough raw manga to last a lifetime.
Why haven't you prepared for the reckoning?
>>111166086
>from what I know TOR is the most efficient and the best to use
Tor is a fucking joke, it's full of spyware and it got infiltrated 2 years ago. To make matters worse Putin has now issued a reward to whoever manages to crack Tor and extract the credentials of its users. Nowhere is safe these days.
>>111163890
Oh how I wish anime ended. fucking garbage fanservice for 12yo
>>111166179
This cunt basically said he is ok with a being a cunt who pays to watch anime. Why the fuck are people like this allowed on /a/? Is MAL banning retards like them from their site?
>>111165939
>And, yes, them not having everything is a big issue
It's a big issue, think of all the good anime you'd missed just because CR doesn't have it.
>So because something was always done through piracy
A long time ago, when fansubbing was for fans, by fans, and when the Japanese jews are concentrated targeting Japan only no one calls fansubbing piracy.
It got only called piracy when jews thought that anime marketing outside Japan can be profitable.

>No, we don't. In the years I've watched anime, I've never heard of anything like this. The Japanese government has never stepped in and cast this wide a net. Distributors (usually foreign in the name of their Japanese clients) send C&Ds, but that's about it.
No - you misunderstand. I meant that some faggot always posts some nes story from Japan about tehm cracking down on whatever (loli, streaming, uploading' and claiming 'it's happening' by extended hyperbole on it's ripple effect on the industry) Maybe they don't come out every other month, but some faggot on /a/ will try and start a thread this way and these kinds of threads are what pop up fairly often (maybe every other month was an exaggeration) but we do get several a year from what I remember.

>To make matters worse Putin has now issued a reward to whoever manages to crack Tor
Top fucking kek, implying that will actually do anything.
I honestly wouldn't care that much if there were actually a proper business in the anime industry. They don't fucking know how to monetize it, then they get mad when no one buys it. No one in their right mind is paying hundreds of dollars for blu-rays, it's fucking idiocy. You can keep that for otaku collectors, but why the fuck not put out "standard editions" that just have all the episodes without any extras for a reasonable price ($60 max)? The only reason otaku are the only ones supporting the industry are because they're the only ones willing to pay those ridiculous prices.
As for the rest, Crunchyroll is a step in the right direction, but it needs competition badly. Hell, maybe Daiz should start his own subscription site that actually gives you downloads instead of shitty streaming and recruit from current fansub groups or something. The reason Crunchy is so bad is because they can get away with it.
tl;dr, if Japan knew how to sell its anime, it would sell. Piracy isn't going to fix the fact that they can't monetize for shit.

Trust me, I know the NSA is watching me. Just being in an IT security major puts me on there list.
>>111166252
Well that's new, I know that putin wanted to start his own "internet" that the CIA and the NSA didn't have full reigns over. But ima do some research on trying to crack TOR, thats a major issue along with spyware.
>>111166138
They already do that now. Japanese government whining isn't going to make things any worse. This changes absolutely nothing. Some pussy sites might get scared and close down, maybe, but others will just pick up the slack. The fanbase is too entrenched to ever stop what we are doing. This is just pissing into the wind. The only thing that will happen is they get covered in their own piss.

Anime & Manga has been nationalized by the central government.
>>111166579
This. A majority of those are probably from chinkland.
The article seemed to imply they're going after Chinese sites. Japan likely doesn't give a shit about English-language piracy.
>>111166096
I would be more than willing to pay if the prices were reasonable. Until that happens Japan can shove their $100+BDs up their ass and fuck off.
>>111166598
If trackers go down you can bet your ass it's going to affect torrenting.
As it is now we have a handful of options when it comes to torrenting anime. THIS is the downside of putting all your eggs in one basket.

Video games and anime are not the same product in the slightest and the way of offering it to the masses are not comparable in terms of product distribution and profit models.

Yeah bra 10 dollars for a full series is totally reasonable. If your poor ass can't pay for it then it's not for you hun.
>>111163716
>Japanese government cares about anime
>Japanese government can do shit to people outside their jurisdiction
>>111166522
The Japanese government has resources and connections that individual distributors don't. It is plausible that these are the first steps of anime being treated a lot like American film and music are.
>>111166826
I'd pay if it was 10 dollars for a full series.

See I used to have the same opinion as you. Then I realized half of the /g/'s tinfoil hatting is bull because a cocks already 6 inches up our ass and that an OS is a tool more so than anything else. So regardless of whether you use a hacksaw or a buzzsaw it doesnt fucking matter if all you need to do is cut a small ass 1 inch thick piece of wood, or in this case shitpost on 4chan and download chinese cartoons.

>This is pretty bad. Because if the government is stepping in this could lead to ISPs coming down harder on anime distribution. Not all of us are in positions where we can anonymize ourselves.
you do know hundreds of thousands of people are still downloading TV shows and movies and music from america IN america, right? the media companies in america can't even convince government to do something about all their shit being pirated, do you seriously think the anime industry in japan (incredibly small in comparison) could do anything?
>Uhhh no it doesn't.

They're not going to kill Nyaa are they?
I swear to god i'll nuke them again if they fucking try it.

It's very obvious by the nature of comments in this thread that people are thinking about a Steam type model (stick it on a central authority were the user then pays via that to gain access to the quality product) even if it isn't explicitly stated.

It's not just about freedom (Linux is flat out a better operating system than Windows), but it is partly so. Microsoft is untrustworthy, and especially in the age of that three letter agency who shall not be named, you'd you have to be pretty ignorant to use Windows.

Not really. Anime and 4chan are simplier on GNU/Linux (sudo pacman -S mpv firefox).
As for eroge, wine *.exe works fine 99% of the time. If not, then just boot up a VM.

Nyaa is a pretty nice centralized site.
I wouldn't want to see it go down because of some crap like this, just like I didn't like mangatraders dying.
Sure, you can still get everything that was there, but a good site was lost.

If murrika can't even stop piracy, what makes you think the elevens can pull it off?
Literally worse than the holocaust.
>>111167076
The ridiculous prices and lack of advertising are exactly why it's not popular. I'm sorry you don't remember the anime boom of the 90s. It can be very popular if they just fucking get it out there. The problem is there's no network willing to give it the timeslots CN gave it back in the day, but that's irrelevant anyway because TV is dying and streaming is the future. Get more of that shit on Netflix and fucking advertise it and bam, second anime boom. Hell, Attack on Titan is already making waves.
