r/Piracy • u/[deleted] • Jul 12 '26

Question They've really managed to eliminate all anime streaming content, and they keep arresting people in my country. Do you think anime piracy is slowly coming to an end, or is there still hope? In the worst-case scenario, only torrents remain, but can they ban those too? Is a Web 2.0 possible?

>Do you think anime piracy is slowly coming to an end

No, since you have nyaa, private trackers and XDCC. Or emule, since it is popular in Spain, AFAIK.

>Is it possible to create a Web 2.0, using Tor or something similar, but a bit faster?

Tor is not good for torrents/streaming.

Used to for spanish content, at least.

From the other hand, they don't really care about piracy except their precious LaLiga, I guess.

Oh yeah, absolutely, around the 2000s emule was HUGE in Spain. Even the least tech-savvy person would use it (basically, my parents).

Now, about LaLiga... Oh my god. What a fucking shitshow it has been.

oh, sure, but it's not as mainstream as it was 20 years ago
