2024 should be remembered as the year Anime and Manga companies in Japan took anime piracy and leakers very seriously. How has the anti-piracy company CODA involved the United States courts in its fight against piracy?

I hate how exploitative the industry is. Almost no one is on their side and everybody is cheering on the piracy. They know full well why so many of us choose to be pirates, but worthless middlemen who are parasites to the industry will never admit that they are the problem. It sucks that a lot of people just ignore all of it and for one reason or another just keep paying for terrible services that are actively making things worse for everyone involved but themselves.
Also the fact that piracy sites are basically museums for old, not available or even purposefully hidden series that are just rotting on some corporate server or in a random basement, unavailable to anyone cause noone wants to pick up or make available the streaming rights for those series. Example, try to find eureka 7 somewhere legal. Good luck.
Or hell. Outside of retro crush, where do you find the olg gems and even they struggle with getting certain rights. Btw, harmony gold says hi.
And then there are the now lost dubs, like tge original eva dub. Or every fucking ova. Outsude a few sites, noone lets me watch the original 130 episodes of legend of tge galactic heroes. Btw, fuck dnt. It isn't bad, but it ain't good either. And a box set goes for a minimum of 500 bucks.
So yeah, as long as that isn't fixed, yall will find me sailing the high seas, flag raised high and proud.

are you serious 😐
U.S is comin for your anime ... Me: i will become King of the pirates!! 😁😁
@@Backstrapman83-OtakuNews why wouldn't i be.
I stand stand by this. I support the industry by buying dvds, but i a) do not have that much money, b) don't like the services sites like crunchyroll have, c) live in Germany, where "child protection laws" limit access to these sites anyway and limit the catalogues even further, d) am old enough to have a different taste.
And if you were asking about the lost and limited series instead, well, mothers basement said it better then i have. I checked his own claims. He is right, at least when i last looked. And if jeff "i am the crunchyroll pope" lets his anti-piracy stance slip, you know it has gotten bad.
Fansubbed anime and fan-translated manga should be classified as transformative works and should be protected under copyright.
its fine i have a crunchyroll subscription
😅

chinese mafia do your jobs,imagine the ads you get if
I'm sure most of them know that if people can't pirate their shows and manga, people just wont ever watch it. and therefore they'll never buy the overpriced figurines and other overpriced merch.
Normies paying for Crunchy Roll are not the people who are buying THOUSANDS of dollars worth of waifu crap. That's not how US weebs work. They pirate the shows, buy DVD's sometimes at best, and then they spend over $10,000 a year or more on buying anime figures, body pillows, keychains, and other crap.
US anime fans are not like Japanese fans who are willing to spend $100 just to get 3 Episode "volumes" at a time and then buy $300 figures afterwards. You get rid of anime piracy (which you can't...), you will see merch sales go way down in the west. But Japanese companies are filled with so many out of touch old people, they don't even consider markets outside Japan even when those markets make them more money. They only operate based on the way Japanese consumers respond to things. Which is why so many things fail. They always start something up and then just stops without a proper ending. As soon as they operate properly in the west, they become a global superpower...like nintendo, sony, capcom, bandai, and square. Yet so many other countries refuse to market to us.
Make an official site with ads where people can watch anime globally for free and you'll more than make up for it through merch...which is how they already make up for it in the first place. then charge money to own a digital copy of a show ad-free. A lot of people would rather do that than pay monthly to access only some anime. The majority of their manga and lite novels aren't even localized and they are fan translated. So they're missing out on that too. They could be selling digital copies or even provide them on a site or app with ads.
Look at what Steam did to video game piracy. Imagine a Steam but for anime and manga where you can buy digital copies from all publishers everywhere. Somethings always on sale, and every season there's a big storewide sale. People would spend hundreds of dollars every year buying anime and building up their libraries. People who can't afford even that will continue to pirate which means they were never going to be your customers in the first place.
#facts
Absolutely correct - but the media companies don't make much on the merch sales because anime are not usually original works, so the people who dislike piracy have little personal incentive to maintain merch sales.
