Has anyone else been thinking about how fragile Nyaa actually is?
It’s the biggest open anime tracker and has been running for years, but it’s public, centralized, and basically one good lawsuit away from vanishing.
If a major group of rights holders (like the usual JP + US combo) actually decided to push hard, like coordinated legal action, DMCA pressure and ISP blocks, Nyaa would have zero real defense. And if it goes down hard, that’s going to spook a lot of other people from opening similar sites.
Private trackers aren’t safe either. They just survive by being quiet. If Nyaa goes and people flood AniDex, U2, or whatever, it’ll draw heat. Even Madokami could take splash damage.
The community acts like this stuff is permanent, but we’ve already lost BakaBT, Kametsu, AB for a while, tons of raw groups, fansubbers. Feels like no one’s ready for the next wave of takedowns.
So… what’s the actual backup plan?
What do we do if Nyaa is next?
