Four major publishing firms accused Cloudflare of copyright infringement for its role in hosting sites that distribute pirated copies of manga titles.

Cloudflare provided a server for “two massive manga piracy sites that distribute over 4,000 manga titles without permission and rack up 300 million views a month,” the publishers said.

At issue in the lawsuit was whether Cloudflare was the main entity in charge of pirated manga distribution.

    Em, because electricity is a fundemental force that you supply to someone and he uses it, unlike hosting a website which is something hosted on a server and you have full control and access to see what you are hosting.

    That is like saying why is it the chef’s fault that he put poison in a meal when he did it because someone paid him to do it, he might not have known about it but he is a expert in his field and shoult know to check and not put the fucking poison in.
