Diversity Is Our Strength 
If you woke up this morning hoping to catch up on One Piece or maybe some Jujutsu Kaisen episodes on your favorite illegal streaming site, you probably had a rude awakening. You probably discovered that the site doesn't exist anymore.
That's because Japan and Brazil teamed up to obliterate 16 of the biggest illegal streaming sites on the Internet because they dared to stream anime.
Japan has been steadfast in its fight against anime piracy. And it makes sense why. It's one of their biggest cultural exports and rakes in billions of dollars a year, and they'd probably be making a lot more if these sites didn't exist. So, they collaborated with Brazilian authorities on a special operation called "Operation Animes."
The first phase of the operation, in February and March 2023, resulted in the closure of 36 anime pirating sites. The second phase has been underway since September 2023 and has been responsible for the closure of 16 another sites, including Aniwave aka 9anime. Three of the site takedowns were reportedly following criminal charges by Toei Animation, Toho, and Bandai Namco Filmworks.
The whole operation has been spearheaded by an organization called CODA, or the Content Overseas Distribution Association. Based in Japan, the organization enacts countermeasures against global piracy of Japanese media, mostly anime and manga. All of this coincides with a Brazilian antipiracy initiative launched in 2019 called "Operation 404" which aims to cease the operations of piracy sites, apps, and social media accounts.
Brazilian authorities conducted "knock and talk" raids of the site owners' premises. Eleven of the sites were voluntarily surrendered by their operators. The sites now redirect to a CODA page announcing their closure.
One has to wonder how effective these operations are going to be, considering that piracy sites are a dime a dozen. It's essentially a giant game of Internet whack-a-mole. You can take down 16 of them---but will another 50 quickly take their place?

If it wasn't on netflix or crunchyroll yeah. I'm not paying another $20 a fricking month to watch the fricking one show hidive or whoever else BIPOCed the fricking licence for and most chinese cartoons aren't worth the fricking time to torrent a fricking gigaHD8k ultraquality version and besides that requires forethought and pre-planning. Just whack on a fricking stream the fricking EXACT SECOND the fricking thought of watching anishit crosses your mind and the fricking quality is fricking good enough to enjoy the fricking slop.

except the fricking the fricking part where you have to buffer the fricking entire episode first, b-word? buffering is a fricking relic of the fricking past. all the fricking good stream sites of currentyear run pretty well (or they did, I assume they are fricking btfo'd now but I didn't check)

animewave was great. All 1080p except for shit from the 70s and 80s (720p!). Torrents still have much better quality, but

Illegal streaming is so easy, any r-slur could do it, but they won't because they hate it when the site changes or when they have to find a new website, so they would rather spend $10-20 per month on crunchyroll and get 65% of what's available on illegal streaming sites.
Anyone who currently streams illegally will resort to torrenting if all the streaming sites were banned. And if all torrenting was banned, they'd finally go outside and attain enlightenment.

They probably wouldn't. Anyone using these sites probably will find another site first if only because they usually can't afford to pay anyway.

The Koreans did this when they realized there was money to make exporting k-dramas. What followed was a series of moronic blunders as tried to cut foreigners out of all the revenue and the jobs. Ended up with a k-drama cartel streaming site where you can't explain to customer service that their shit is broken. So that goes out of business and Netflix ends up taking over overseas distribution. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out the same way.
