    It's using a plugin system for various sources, basically it's just a fancier front end for the source websites. it is not hosting its own (illegal) content.

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
