https://nyaa.si/ one of the single most popular websites to acquire anime from is also included in the domains to be blocked.
Use the IP? Custom DNS?
i can feel the australian weeaboos trembling in rage over this
Old media is run by fucking idiots.
"There's a large consumer base in the English Speaking world that we could sell to by hiring translators and signing streaming contracts with American companies, but instead we're going to selectively block you based on your region and also sue you if you try to provide a service to other people that we aren't. Want to watch our show? Learn Japanese, move to Japan, and buy the DVD"
Ban nyaa.si but not the panstu.cat alternative. Good job there
also they can fuck right off with trying to ban rutracker and zooqle
Scummy, but easily bypassed.
Yes, the block is just DNS level. I doubt there are many on this forum who do not know how to change a DNS, but if so read this. Even though it is just DNS level, this block will drastically reduce the amount of casual consumers of anime who would have otherwise used domains like http://kissanime.ru/ to stream.
It looks like you can still go directly to the fansubbers website.
The idea with panstu.cat was to have it run on IPFS
Good luck blocking it
Anime soon to be declared illegal in Australia.
Only glorious state subtitles Chinese cartoons will be allowed.
Of course this happens days after Plex puts out an update to let you download subtitles directly from the Opensubtitles website
This block seems pretty pointless
Lmao, good thing I download all my weebshit through IRC.
Get fucked.
what's next, are they gonna ban fanfiction or something? "someone wrote a thing involving our copyrighted characters, put it up for free and didn't get permission so THEY PIRATED OUR CHARACTERS"
On one hand I am grateful they are so inept that it is just base level DNS blockage which they are thousand tutorials to easily bypass, on the other,
I hate the fact that, when they discover that people still visits the sites just using alternative DNS, mirrors, proxies or VPN's that they never seem to stop.
(because lets face it, simple blockage can be easily circumvented and the desire for that doesn't disappear just because they have been blocked)
The fundamental way the internet is built makes it really hard to completely filter out these data streams,
even China has problems still killing off Tor and stealth VPN's because of masking and obfuscation techniques.
It is just said that additionally to the ISP bill, you can also factor in a VPN bill because governments can't be trusted to keep privacy intact.
Forcing people to watch JoJo without the fixed subs is Immoral. Nobody should have to deal with "Worse Company"
Jokes on them I only watch Anime with friends on Rabbit.
Same, honestly. I only rely on torrent sites or, god forbid, streaming, when I have no alternative.

If they sub everything like that one aussie-subbed doujin i'd be fine with it
The laws of freedom do not apply in Australia, only the laws of Australia apply in Australia. - probably something the au pm would say
I still use my ISP dns, they haven't blocked anything 😴
on the bright side, basic bitch weebs won't be able to stream anime anymore because kissanime is absolute cancer. They steal subs and put ads on their website, profiting off of other people's work. Fansubs originally were purely a passion thing and accepted donations at best.
Back in the day i used to use it on my work breaks because i couldn't exactly torrent things in the workplace and it was a pain to preload shows onto HDDs, plus crunchy-roll and such was not a thing yet. But its relevance now has pretty much diminished.
Real OG anime fans watched their anime on youtube, broken into 3 parts with a couple of seconds missing between each part.
240p crew represent!
Is rutracker usable for non-russian speaker?
It's pretty great, but I'd imagine it's pretty hard to browse
