Piracy
Account? What is account? Can you eat account? Is account an instrument?
~~This only skips step 1 – 5 for Crunchyroll. You still have 8 steps to go.~~ Nevermind, they've got email addresses for privacy inquiries, hidden beneath their infinite scroll anime overview, in the “Your Rights” section, behind the “this page” link. Although I wonder whether they force you to go through their painful process nevertheless.
