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.

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...
