Anti-piracy group CODA's war against online piracy has received renewed backing from the Hollywood studios & Netflix. The timing was perfect.

That’s adorable. Video you can maybe fight. Megabytes of JPGs? It is to laugh.

They tried it with Tachiyomi.
Reader apps and programs are infinitely harder to recover from the just sending a lawyer to mangadex.

Anyway, they tried taking down Tachiyomi.
They bullied the maintainer successfully and the Tachiyomi team first removed the in-built functionaility for the sources then seized development on the app as a whole.
Due to Tachiyomi being FOSS (thanks again to all the devs) one of the primary maintainers forked and renamed the project :)
And now we are back to square one with Mihon :)

Next thing you know, they’ll move to a proprietary format that only opens in their exclusive apps.
