Japans copywrite laws have kicked in. How will this effect their media exposure internationally I wonder?

New sites will pop up regardless, stopping piracy on the Internet is the world's biggest game of Whack-A-Mole.

One of the sites that I use is still up. But it could be because it's specifically for dubs only.

Oh, it was. I have read some good manga that I would never have known if it hadn't been translated by fans.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_Virgin

Never released in english officially, but I am glad to have read it.

I mean this literally happens every year. Manga piracy might be harder but, you have numerous free day 1 resources that are legal. As anime/manga become more mainstream and more available it becomes harder to pirate this shit. At any rate both those sites were loaded with ads and viruses. Good riddance.

You have a bunch of really shitty day 1 resources. I'd gladly subscribe to a decent service.

you do realize all the sites TC mentioned are piracy sites, right...?

anyway those sites sucked so good

I kinda doubt this, if you google search read <name of basically any manga> you're almost guaranteed to get multiple piracy sites before anything legit

Sure, tons of it. And yet browsers have consoles, so anyone with half a brain could ignore that issue entirely. More importantly, they had a good selection.

My main squeeze is still up, but I rarely pirate anime nowadays. Usually only when it's on a service I'm subscribed to, but it's blocked in my region.

If Kissmanga is the site I think it was I used to go there like 10 years ago. They had stuff I know would never get released in America. Lots of really interesting ideas for manga but too weird for mainstream readers. This is kinda sad to hear

Even if the kiss sites went down for good, it's pretty easy to find new ones. Just type "streaming" after any anime or "read online" after any manga.

I don't really care about people consuming the media without paying but I do think it's scummy a lot of these sites are making tons of money off other people's work. Same for people who make "reproduction games". Oh cool you got a fake physical copy of Mother 3 with a fan translation installed, and neither the person who made the game nor the fan translators got anything. I am completely supportive of the original authors/companies etc. won't get anything because it hasn't been officially released in your region or went out of print or you just can't afford it arguments. But when you support people who just want to profit off other people's work it kind of sucks (fan subs are the same, no one paid them for their work before streaming it on their site to make money).

I gave up on this one after they started blocking adblockers.

I was using JustDubs, but they seemed to have taken down their Cartoons page. The Cartooms page itself is still accessible, but each show just leads to a blank page.

I was using it to watch The Simpsons after WCO fell off.

Although there was that void where original nyaa went down without any warning and a new one had to be scrounged together.
