Not disputing your statement, just made me laugh a bit because almost every single site I visit recently that offers links to copyrighted content [stored in file lockers] sits behind Cloudflare

I wouldn’t say illegal content, since most of that gets removed relatively quickly. But definitely a lot of content in the grey zones of copyright law.

Hm? There are lots of copyright-infringing sites using Cloudflare, and Cloudflare seems pretty content to generally ignore infringement notices.

I see. That does complicate things somewhat.

I wonder if there's merit in them approaching studios with a proper business plan?

Now with the way the manga, Manghwa, and WEBTOON industry is tied up. But I believe that is their end goal eventually.
