A new mass piracy shutdown has several of the world's top illegal anime streaming sites in its crosshairs. AnimesHeaven (a mirror site of the older AnimeHeaven), 1xAnime, AnimeKai, Anoboy, 123animehub, and over 200 other movie and TV streaming sites were named in a targeted global domain sweep.
Torrent Freak reports that a court in India gave movie and television rights holders the power to force domain registrars worldwide to suspend hundreds of pirate streaming sites and their mirrors. The aim is to 'slay the hydra,' essentially cutting off the ability for the sites to reappear elsewhere -- a common tactic seen when piracy sites get taken down in one location. This is a substantial blow to online piracy in general, but when it comes to anime, it means that illegal viewing sites will become even harder for fans to rely on in the near future. Popular anime streaming sites such as AnimesHeaven, 1xAnime and Anoboy are big targets, and many of the 200+ sites listed have already been temporarily disabled or had content removed.
