The Torrenting of Consent

>Nyaa, the world's largest anime torrent site, has become the target of piracy watchdogs following the arrest of a first uploader (seeder) who shared a copyrighted work on the platform. >The Cyber Investigation Division of the Kyoto Prefectural Police and the Fushimi Police Station arrested a man residing in Sagamihara City on July 28, 2026. >With major players out of the picture, CODA and other agencies will likely shift their attention to Nyaa in a bid to curb the copyright infringement that has reportedly bled the anime industry dry for years. Is this the beginning of the end for torrenting? https://www.cbr.com/nyaa-torrent-uploader-arrest-coda-crackdown/ >>289750876 (OP) # Just stream, you dumb pedophile

A fake news-style 4chan screenshot claims that Nyaa, an anime torrent site, is being targeted after an uploader's arrest. The punchline is the reply telling torrent users to “just stream” while using an extreme insult, mocking moralizing anti-piracy rhetoric and the absurdity of the alleged crackdown.
