Re: Japan cracking down on anime/manga pirating

I think they tried this before a few years ago, focusing on manga, and it didn't really do anything. No big for me, I get almost all my anime through official channels, but my feelings about piracy are the same: Making the product more affordable and accessible hurts piracy far more than bullying tactics ever will. Might not be fair, but I think it's true.

This. There are a lot of series I would happily legally support - if they were licensed in the US. But they aren't, so it's not like I have a choice. It's piracy or nothing if I want to read/watch them.

I support the anime/manga industry as much as I can both watching anime legally and buying manga, but I would do more if I could.
Sadly I'm not in a country where stuff gets licensed, shipping expenses are too expensive and there are very few anime available to watch online legally (Crunchyroll is the only option and most old tittles are regionally locked).

IMO world wide digital distribution rights need to be a thing ASAP.

I know it's not easy since different countries, different (distribution and content) laws, but just like Hollywood is willing to lobby so USA politicians pressure other countries into making harsher anti-online-piracy laws, they could as well do something like changing laws about distribution (or making some new ones exclusively about online distribution) so any media producer can have an easier time doing their business.

If after that they decide to do anything against illegal sharing sites, it'll be more effective since there'll be less motivation to search for new ways to keep sharing like that and the people willing and able to pay will do so, so the industry will really benefit.

But this?
Any site that they manage to take down will be like hydra and another two more will appear to replace it. And private torrent trackers are still a thing. As well as other options...
