Manga Pirate Site Operator Fails to Dodge DMCA Subpoena Over Cloudflare Cache

Rightsholders can breathe a sigh of relief after a California federal court concluded that Cloudflare can be compelled to comply with DMCA subpoenas. The anonymous operator of now-defunct manga piracy site Mangajikan argued that Cloudflare is a 'mere conduit' provider that doesn't have to comply with DMCA subpoenas. However, in a key decision in favor of publisher Shueisha, the court ruled that because Cloudflare caches content, it must identify the operator.
