One of the tragic effects of the MAFIAA's legal efforts to stop piracy, was that, though they could never reduce the amount of popular stuff being pirated, they did manage to shut down a lot of niche sites or private trackers, where people had meticulously curated rare and obscure content that was impossible to get anywhere else.

I recently discoveree the "kai" version of popular animes, meaning a recut of the hundred of episodes by fans to remove repeatitions, fillers, useless flashbacks and long stares or empty dialogs that just waste time.

You can now watch the entire Dragon Ball and DBZ in half the time it should take, missing nothing from the original, saving on frustration.

There are gigabytes of content, it's crazy to me some people spend years on those and just give them away as torrents, doing a better job that the right holders swimming in money.

Naruto Kai made the series watchable for me.
