This is just gonna be a Streisand Effect situation. Now I know about this app and it sounds pretty great.
I sincerely hope so, just to imagine the shocked faces at the company that made legal threats to Tachiyomi, when it itself has no content. I mean how stupid can you be
Imagine if companies could just sue and take down products just because they could theoretically be used to view pirated content (not to pirate, but to view it).
Goodbye Adobe Acrobat Reader, v1 Nintendo Switches, all home PCs, Android phones, and web browsers,
Well, it is essentially what they're doing already with DRM.
Try watching a full resolution stream on any paid streaming service using "bad" software, like Firefox or Linux.
Why stop there? You could use hardware to run this software.
Ban screens.
I never saw it that way, but you're right. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Hasn't something like this happened already? Not sure what platform it was (Android TV maybe?), but I vaguely remember something like that.
