Manga Publishers Maintain Pressure Despite Pirate Countermeasures
Japanese manga publishers are intensifying their fight against online piracy, employing various strategies to protect their intellectual property. Despite pirate sites implementing countermeasures, publishers continue to exert legal pressure to disrupt unauthorized distribution. For instance, Shueisha has filed a DMCA subpoena to compel X (formerly Twitter) to reveal the identities of users sharing ‘One Piece’ content without permission. Additionally, the Japanese government is exploring the use of artificial intelligence to detect and report pirated manga and anime content online.
