This got removed from r/Crunchyroll for being Low Effort. Not even for piracy discussion but for being Low Effort (lemmy.ml)

Yup, it started as a piracy website. Only in 2008 they had a company invest $4 million to properly license stuff. By 2009/2010 they were legal

The investment got criticized by Bandai and other companies, because they were upset that a VC firm was pumping money into a site that had pirated material.
