I feel it's pretty typical for some of these companies who like to complain about other's unethical practices. Strongly reminds me of Crunchyroll.
I might be wrong, but IIRC, CR used to be a fan-sub type of site; I don't recall if they hosted stuff, or just linked to it. When I first found them, though, that's how they seemed to be. But since then, I think they license all of their content now or something like that. I may be totally wrong here, keep that in mind...
