Maybe, but i don't think so. Iirc, their whole appeal from the beginning was they were trying to start the first above the board legit US anime streaming site. I'm pretty sure they raised money to license small shows and were the first to do simulcast eng subs for a couple of them. I remember watching Giant Killing and a bunch of niche shows when they first started out.

I only know people I know who were into anome were watching pirate subs on crunchyroll back in the day.

Hmm, looks like it started as a video sharing site / forum and then pivoted towards legit stuff between 2008 and 2009.

Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
