CATDOLL: Following Jiying, another domestic animation download website announced its permanent closure

At the end of 2015, it seems that there are many unexpected events recently. Yesterday, a well-known domestic light novel website was investigated by the public security organs for suspected piracy. Today (December 24), the large domestic animation BT site Roaming BT suddenly announced its permanent closure, catching many animation fans off guard. It seems that with the arrival of the domestic big copyright era, the era of BT publishing and subtitle groups has passed, and a new era has begun.

Since 2013, the ecology of subtitle groups has changed a lot. Some subtitle group members directly go to video websites to translate Japanese animations with imported copyrights, while some continue to work as private subtitle translators. Now that most new animation copyrights have been officially imported, the survival space of subtitle groups is even smaller, and closing down may be the only way out.
