It seems animesuge.to, anix.to and aniwave.to closed down with the exact same message, though there may be a few other sites that closed down in a similar way.

It's something we should do to show our respect to creators

Yeah pretty based

and content producers

That text is included in every site that was shut down. All I can do is speculate, but I think the site owners were forced to write that. It's unlikely that every pirate site owner suddenly had a change of heart in regards to piracy.

Yep, that's the one

If there will be a service for paying the creators directly, will you pay for that?

[–] Hazzia@infosec.pub 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Probably. Unless they're only using that as a hook where there are still other forces not directly involved in the creative/hosting process that are taking 90% of the profits.

EDIT: just realized you're probably talking about stuff like patreon where you actually just pay the creators, in which case, absolutely! I've got a number of patreons I'm actively supporting

awww man 9anime is where I found most of my stuff

[–] Hax@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

9animetv.to is still up and functional.

This sucks a lot.

Fuck...

I was planning to finish a series on AnimeSuge and AnimeSuge is now gone. I'm not going to fucking subscribe to Crunchyroll because, they don't have anime classics like Tenchi Universe or Tenchi in Tokyo. AnimeSuge did. They had everything Tenchi in one place whereas you have to subscribe to both Funimation and Cruncyroll to even get a third of the series available.

And watching the original 1997 Berserk series straight through was on AnimeSuge. None of the legal options fucking have it and everyone is selling the series on EBay and Amazon for triple the price.

This is fucking bullshit!

Check the community Megathread. It has pretty good websites, even desktop programs.

Have you considered torrenting the old fashioned way?

[–] Frozyre@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't torrent. I've got no patience for it and the climate to which to torrent in, isn't nearly as rich as it once was in the 2000s. So it's not worth my time.

[–] Kissaki@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If you want to evade torrents;

The fansub group hi10anime has direct download links (ouo shortlink guarded, which is a non issue for me with ad blocker and browser addon auto-click). Only need a website account to see the post with links.

I know they have a Berserk 1997 encode/release. And other classic as well as recent anime.

I don't really watch anime theese days but 9anime was the goat. I will miss them.

ELI5 how does piracy streaming work?

Bittorrent via javascript in the browser?

Or just leeching?

[–] fernlike3923@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Most anime piracy sites just put the episodes into a few video hosting websites, and then embed those videos.
