A significant portion of the anime piracy infrastructure faced a major setback with the removal of over 900 repositories and forks tied to anime streaming tools on GitHub, following a complaint from anti-piracy firm Remove Your Media LLC, representing Crunchyroll and VIZ Media. This crackdown follows the recent offline status of HiAnime, which boasted over 150M monthly visits, disrupting key dependencies for third-party apps. Crunchyroll’s strategy aims not only to target pirate sites but also to dismantle the frameworks that support piracy through effective enforcement and takedown notices. The ecosystem’s resilience is now severely compromised.
