Well, apparently, the United States government was actually responsible. Don't believe me? I mean, literally, look right here. The US Homeland Security Investigations and Department of Justice were also credited for their support throughout the investigation. So, let me get this straight. The United States government funded the takedown of High Anime, the world's largest anime piracy site. First off, I'm just going to say, you know what this technically means? This means that it's not a 0% chance that Donald Trump has seen the Hanma Yujiro Hanma like a scene where he actually bends over Elon and himself, Trump, in the anime and manga. Like, it's a very iconic scene. The fact that the iconic scene. The fact that the government went after this site, I think indicates that, which is just honestly amusing in of itself. But, one of the fact that you know you really made it, but also really put the eye of Sauron on yourself when you have the United States government actually even helping the takedown of your piracy site. And it really does I I I I guess it makes sense because back in like March of this year, I remember making a video talking about how the United States government issued High Anime as like a major threat to streaming. I I remember there was like some form of article. If I can find it, I'll I'll put it here on screen for you to see it for yourself. But, basically, hearing that news, like thinking back now retrospectively, and now seeing this information that just came out, it's very obvious that ever since that announcement, the United States to get rid of this site. And it's just like, out of everything that you theoretically could do and focus on and prioritize and taxpayer money could focus on and you know, just in 2026 alone, you're prioritizing taking down alone, you're prioritizing taking down high anime? Like yeah, I know, $12 going to act like it is not a lot of money and obviously I'm not saying that you know, they didn't deserve to be arrested. I mean, when you steal other people's property and you're uploading it you know, and you don't actually own of it. Yeah, eventually you're going to get arrested. But it's just like you're telling me our government literally spent resources helping out these other for instance to be able to bring these people to justice. That's That's Honestly, like that that's a that's a pretty big feat. Now obviously it's not something you would really want, but it is a pretty big feat and now I it makes me really see this entire situation with their mugshots in like these these are the individuals I got arrested by the way. And now seeing how some of them look like they're trying not to laugh their ass off. It's like it kind of makes sense. Like imagine aggroing the world's largest government. Like aggroing them to get you arrested because you decided upload that's >> [laughter] >> That's crazy. Now with all of that being said, there is a few other things I do want to talk about and that is basically the crackdown on a bunch of different pirate sites. Apparently like this is something that they're actively working towards like cracking down on more anime piracy sites and stuff. And I think that this indicates that we're probably going to see a lot of major sites, like really big sites probably taken down relatively soon. So if you know a big site that is very well known probably in for anime piracy or manga piracy, it's probably months. I mean, high anime makes sense it was taken down because obviously just too big for its britches as I said yesterday, but now seeing this and how United States government is getting involved in all this, I think it indicates that yeah, there's about to be a lot of people that are probably going to be getting arrested relatively soon. And yeah, I feel like this is going to honestly. I feel like this is going to scare a lot of piracy sites that are very well known, very popular, and have like a a very Everybody knows about them. This is going to put a target on their back. Um but yeah, I just I wanted to share this because honestly, this is some absolutely wild news I did not expect to wake up to and to find out that there was an actual escalation of this. Like this isn't like the standard oh, Japan went after them or, you know, Korea went after them or Vietnam. No, straight-up yeah, that's just not something you see every day. So, wow.
