Nope they are only using API’s from the various hosting sources. That’s what makes this request so blatantly fraudulent. For all intents and purposes Tachiyomi is just a Browser specialized for Manga
Well, it’s better to be worried when official copyright holders are going after you and not a bunch of troll bots. Bullying using the legal process and fee is a common tactic. It’s better to legal up and be ready to fight in court than ignore their attacks and get raided by the Fed.
Kakao has nothing even resembling a legitimate claim. They aren’t even fucking American. Tachi should just tell them to shove it straight up their gook asses
But unofficially because we would circumvent the ads of websites.
I believe we actually scrape the pages because Tavhi even mentions to open in webview so we have the session cookies…
Does this really matter as things stand now? The team behind Tachiyomi said they won’t support website extensions anymore, meaning Kakao got exactly what they wanted
To my understanding, they are still supporting plugins, it’s just they won’t provide the list of apps, you should be able to add your own repository of plugins to download, in fact, there are some going around.
You need to set up quite a few things first. It’s like suing an app store cause you can install a browser and pin a piracy website to your home menu, giving you one click access to illegal sources.
The app came with a fairly large extension list pre-populated so it’s a little different to a browser. Although a browser with all the piracy links already bookmarked would be rad.
Either way, you can still point the app towards any other repository so it doesn’t really hurt for them to remove the default extensions repository to avoid potential legal problems.

Afaik tachiy is not hosting any illegal content itself isn’t it?

But don’t worry, the tachi devs genuinely consider the mass bs dmca spam from kakao to be entirely good faith and legitimate

That’s awesome, thanks for the heads up
Where did they say that?

it is on their discord announcements
So, nowhere on the web that constitutes a primary source.
Another person replied with a site post. Here’s the link: https://tachiyomi.org/news/2024-01-09-extensions-removal
No but it does give users one click access to the illegal sources, which could be a problem in some legal jurisdictions.
Personally I just use it to read from my personal komga server, but it would be sad to see the app get attacked.
