Japanese Government to Start Anti-Anime/Manga Piracy Operation Next Month

Post by monsi »

In cooperation with 15 major anime production companies and manga publishers, the Japanese government will next month start a huge extermination operation against 580 foreign sites which have illegally uploaded anime and manga contents on the web without the copyright holders' permission, NHK reported on July 28. While the government has started supporting the genre as one of their important cultural exports, there appears to be no end of illegal uploading of anime and manga via pirate sites, mainly operated by Chinese. The Cultural Affairs Agency estimates the loss caused by the Chinese pirate sites last year was amounted to at least 560 billion yen (about US$ 5.5 billion).

On August 1, the government will start simultaneously sending requests to delete illegal anime and manga contents to the operators of the 580 foreign pirate sites which they have found. In addition, the operation will launch a new site to guide the fans to a legitimate site offering some 250 titles including
the latest ones at a cost of several hundred yen.

Hm, I guess then there will be new ways then... And even if, maybe DC isnt involved, who knows.

Let's hope for the best.

Somehow I'm not very sure if this would affect every country in the world. Something still tells me someone will find a way around it. Well, at least someone does in my country. ;D Either way we should hope for the best.

I can imagine that a lot of the majors have already been targetted for years, if they're still up their hosting providers don't give a rat and will probably just give the Japanese companies the finger again.

Found another article. This one has a video where 42 anime/manga characters are thanking people for not pirating.

Good luck with that. One website disappears, 10 reappear the following hour.

Yep. If nyaa falls, there's still tokyotosho, and there's always other sites out there.

Great! I wonder how many of them will be available in my region :-\
It's good they're giving fans new and legal ways to watch, still, I feel safer having some fansub as an alternative :D I hope that anime-streaming sites will be the only ones "under attack"...

Remember that they shut down OneManga and a bunch of people here were devastated? You don't? Well, it like totally happened or something.

And the world moved on.

I really don't see much reason to be concerned.

I think my list of successful anti-piracy initiatives probably matches my list of quality non-comedic love triangles.
