Piracy and anime are joined at the hip. Even in the 90s before we had streaming, you could walk into any Japanese toy store in New York and guess what you would find? Rows and rows of bootleg anime DVDs. At half the price (or lower) you'd pay and with titles not released in the US. There are so many pirate sites now I hadn't even heard of the ones in this article.

So after 30+ years of fighting this losing battle why do they think they will win it now?
