    Removing the option to buy doesn’t stop me from owning, it stops me from paying.

    Too bad I have a utility to be able to download and decrypt their content. Who needs a torrent, they are my torrent.

      unfortunately websites can even use data transfers (without mentioning legitimate accounts/streams) to promote themselves to business partners and anime studios.

      so pirating directly from their site is still helping them indirectly.

      Bah, I just use a torrent aggregator site where groups that rip from crunchy, Amazon, Netflix and the like post. Thanks groups!

        I prefer it because I can rip and compress exactly how I like it.

      when crunchy first started, they streamed my fansub group’s work, my translations, without asking permission or crediting us.

      they were never Batman/Bruce nor Harvey… not even as ethical as Two face…

      Hmmm I’d say it’s more like they got killed and taken over by a parasite, but then because the parasite had an actual business model and engineers for a decade people just said “oh well actually this is an improvement” then that parasite got absorbed by a bigger, more evil parasite and things started going to shit.

        You’re not wrong, but my version rolls off the tongue easier.
