Japan-based anti-piracy group CODA is reporting new successes in its overseas efforts to disrupt access to pirate sites. Earlier this month, operators of pirate anime sites in Brazil received in-person visits from CODA, acting on behalf of three major Japanese anime producers. CODA reports that Bakashi.tv, the third most-visited anime site in Brazil, shut down among 15 in total. No other sites are officially named, but our unofficial list provides a few pointers.

Visits in person? Are anime companies sending out the fucking Yakuza now?

In my region of Canada, people usually differentiate from the continential americas by specifying north or south or grouping them like I just did. I also highly doubt any Brazilians refer to themselves as "american". At the very least the few I have met were quite proud to specifically be referred to as Brazilian.

They do call themselves American. I have met quite a few who do. I used to teach english online during covid and lots of them were from Brazil. They're just not outlandishly exclaiming the whole contintent belongs to them every chance they get. Same way they don't claim a sport league as World championship.

They usually just go "We're American but yeah… (some white snowflakes stole it and we don't say anything because it has anger issues)"

And you're on fediverse now so using a global representation would be more appreciated rather than stroking propaganda shit all over the place.

I'm honestly surprised that none of them were shot

These are the dodgy streaming sites laden with ads right? Not surprised they get shut down if they're profiting of piracy.

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 15 points 6 days ago

In my list of 9 anime streaming sites a whole total of 0 were affected. You can't beat piracy this way.

So what they're saying is to stop giving any money to a company that's part of or reports to CODA. Did I read that right?

Anything you might have spent on anime, manga, or games from the publishers or studios involved with this gang..

[–] BearGun@ttrpg.network 6 points 6 days ago

Time to see anime go back to being a niche thing for weebs only i guess

[–] Eistee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I wouldn't pirate anime if crunchyroll wasn't so damn confusing. They list different languages as "seasons"

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 1 points 3 days ago

Why can a single person team make a better app for viewing anime than a company?

[–] Kissaki@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

They list different languages as “seasons”

Let's call them seasoning then.
