Basically, if you were a Crunchyroll subscriber in the past three years, they probably illegally sold your data without your consent.

basically the same thing, really. if they thought they could win, they'd lawyer up and not shell out millions of dollars.

They do dubbing. One of their actors (non-union) doing the main characters for one of the series they dubbed went "Hey, I think it'd be a good idea if you agreed to talk to the folks in this here union." They fired them and recast the character.

The actor was union, but was willing to take a non-union contract in exchange for Crunchyroll sitting down with SAG-AFTRA.
