PCR Distributing is a company that published a lot of the filth that ends up on nHentai.
Over the summer, PCR started to pursue legal action against nHentai.
It began with a DMCA and has escalated to a full blown lawsuit.
Incourt documents filedon October 14, PCR asked the court for early discovery in the case.
The people running nHentai are still anonymous and listed as John Doe.
PCR wants Cloudflare and other services to cough up their identity.
I want to stress this is not a takedown request or a DCMA, the email said.
Then the employee offered a deal.
The court document shared several more emails between nHentai and various employees from PCR.
Were running a sale here soon, the email said.
Itd probably run for about a month or so.
PCR pushed back on nHentai in court documentsfiled on October 21.
It made clear that the current legal battle was about early discovery and not about the case, overall.
Even taken as true, it does not establish a license or consent to use Plaintiffs copyright protected content.
It also said that it had sent DMCA notices after 2020 that nHentai ignored.
