      The MPA is so out of touch. Let’s not tell them.

      Aniwave (formerly known as 9anime) was, from what I understand, the site most people fled to after KissAnime bit the dust.

    Most assuredly; that gentleman doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about.

    What he IS doing— is justifying his expenditure.

    It will come to nothing anyway.

    What a poop-nosed loser.

    That’s it folks, they got the big boss. Wrap it up and let’s go back to spending hundreds of dollars a month across dozens of platforms to not own any of the media we consume.

      It’s not like it’s a government agency, it’s a film company group. Defund it by never paying for a movie and getting everyone everywhere to never pay for a movie

    Fighting piracy is like a caveman with a pointy stick trying to fight a 3 headed hydra from Greek mythology. The only way for them to truly defeat the hydra is an idea they would never accept because they aren’t allowed to treat customers/consumers as people.
