"Please use legal paid services" yeah I would if

  1. They actually had the content I'd like to buy available for purchase
  2. I actually get a copy to keep and not rent for an indefinite period of time until the rights holder and / or vendor forgets to renew and it gets automatically removed.

  1. It didn't grant them the legal right to kill your spouse.
[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Say what you will about disney but they kill your wife without calling in 10,000 favors like the damn mafia.

Netflix had Attack on Titan and Death Note at one point (first time I watched both was on Netflix) but now they only have the awful Death Note movie, which I hate with a passion

Canadian netfux can eat a massive bag of penises, all they ever do is increase their prices while removing the stuff I actually liked. I cancelled after their 3rd price increase in 18 months without adding anything of value

They have Death Note, I'm watching it right now. Edit- I'm in the US

[–] Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

Maybe they don't have it in Germany anymore but they do in the US. Or they added it since last time I searched for it on Netflix. I don't have Netflix, so it's been a while.

I would use legal alternatives... Had they the content I want...

Right now, if I want to follow an anime in Europe? Maybe first season is in netflix, but second could be in crunchyroll (maybe), then half of the third is in an obscure and unknown service... And the other half is in Amazon prime.

I want to pay the legal alternative, what I won't do is subscribe to 6 different streaming services a month, that won't guarantee the availability of a show even after the first month and watching ads forcedly.

Piracy is a service problem. And with streaming, we have a huge service problem.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

it's so funny too, Netflix was the service solution. Netflix and Spotify being good for a while there was the biggest hit to piracy since it's inception.

[–] EngineerGaming@feddit.nl 6 points 10 months ago

I also wouldn't mind paying - for a one-time purchase. Preferrably a DRMless one, otherwise I would still download a corresponding copy for actual unrestricted use.

[–] dinckelman@lemmy.world 57 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Half the shit i want to watch isn’t available on Crunchyroll, but was readily available on Anix.

Somehow a piracy platform had integration with Anilist, but something you pay for doesn’t. Plus the price only continues to rise, but the service continues to get worse too.

It’s always a service issue. People will just find different ways to achieve the same result

So here we're gonna just shovel out all of the cheap and selectively costly licenses on our services for you to watch. All so we can proclaim VaRiEtY.

Oh that show you remembered way back when? Fuck it, don't know or don't care! You'll pay for what we selected for you and you'll enjoy it.

Braindead streaming logic.

[–] Whirling_Cloudburst@lemmy.world 48 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

They nuked the comments at crunchy. Sometimes you need the information in the comments. Sometimes you need that information on every episode of an anime series because of some failure or lack of feature.

I'm gonna miss the comment section.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 13 points 10 months ago

Didn't they say they removed it because there were homophobic comments under a popular BL anime? A situation that could have easily be solved with a moderation system (which I know they had because they removed comments with external links).

I guess they didn't want to ban bigots with subscriptions.

[–] Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 10 months ago

The comment section was actually the one thing I missed when switching to a Jellyfin setup

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 37 points 10 months ago

Goodbye 9anime. We've had a lot of great times together.

I await the coming of 10anime.

This year feels especially brutal for media liberation. 😮‍💨

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.world 35 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I have never heard of ANY of these services and I download a lot of stuff.

[–] NiPfi@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Same. I think those were streaming sites?

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 20 points 10 months ago

keep it local people. successful streaming means you got lucky, this time.

123movies said we should pay. Studios shouldn't price gouge. Arrrgghh

[–] harmsy@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

The King is dead. Long live the King. The people going after these sites are just playing a game of whack-a-mole. New sites will always sprout up to fill in the gap.

[–] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's sad to see 9anime gone...

[–] sibachian@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

.se mirror still up and working. looks like it was just a DMCA on the main domains.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I think I can actually list out more pirate stream sites that are still up and also older than some of these.

point being that I don't think it's gonna have that much on an effect, if any
