Interesting point here on the series i worked on, it appears the takedown notice was applied to uploads from a given point, looking like around a snapshot from march. This makes it highly likely that the title list was either from a hack or an inside job, as scraping would have picked up my april upload and deleted that too. Sounds just like the "long day" hack that took out the anix anime museum site too, removing thousands of nearly 100 year old out of copyright titles from the preservation community too - and appeared to also be an inside job, as someone sabotaged the back end code that was not internet facing. (incidentally evidence seemed to suggest the hack was sponsored by crunchyroll, how is that for irony)
Sounds to me that payment processors or collecive shout may be engaging in fifth column tactics.
Copyright content or not, isn't using criminal conduct a bigger crime than hosting some out of copyright title that you have some theological grudge against?
Makes you wonder.
