I have never really pirated until recently(anime and manga that is) And seeing the US government get involved to try and find people is really crazy to me.

Companies having a list of 100’s of anime and manga sites that I recognize and some I have never heard of is crazy. Them catching and shutting down a bunch of big name sites at the same time is crazy. People say this happens everyfew years and more pop up(even though that would take a very long time to do and I think people underestimate that) Is this normal? Has this happened at large like this before? The manga sphere has huge Korean companies and Japan AND China backing them up to catching people. They are going after scanslation groups, nhentai, which has been around since forever. Is this just another wave that comes around or is this a really big thing?
