The operators of Nhentai.net, a popular adult site with dozens of millions of monthly visits, have been ordered to identify themselves in a California court. Recent court rulings denied both the site's bid to dismiss the case early, and its request for a protective order to hide the identities of its operators. The case will now move forward, with all copyright claims intact.

Thus, the Court easily concludes that the public has a strong interest in knowing the identity of the corporate entity that operates this website and is appearing in federal court

I come there all the time and I have absolutely no interest in knowing who operates it tbh. That information can basically only be used to do harm to nhentai.

This is all image files and tag metadata. Someone could archive the site and mirror it on tor over a weekend.

Sorry I didn't open the article. Who is suing them?

California-based rightsholder PCR Distributing, which operates under brands including J18 and JAST USA, initiated action against nHentai last summer, describing the site as a significant threat to its business.

I don't know them, but JAST sells visual novels and other software (so no hentai) and J18 is a Halland-class destroyer of the Swedish Navy, so maybe they're being threatened by the amount of KanColle doujins showing the superior physical assets of Japanese warships.
