It's True, One of Manga's Biggest U.S. Piracy Sites Was Just Hit With a Major Takedown as Legal Action Looms

In a sweeping move that signals a major shift in anime and manga enforcement, MangaDex, one of the most well-known manga pirating platforms in the U.S., has been hit with an unprecedented wave of DMCA takedown notices. In just a matter of days, hundreds of series were stripped from the site, including both licensed and unlicensed titles. While MangaDex has operated for years in a legal gray zone, this crackdown may be the first of its kind in scale and scope, sending shockwaves across the manga fan community.
