LastChapter said: Anyone know if Japan will crack down on torrenters in their country? A friend of mine living in Japan uses Nyaa and is worried the new law will affect him either through fines or jail time. Theyd have to prove he did it. Edit: Crunchyroll is legal right? Can't ever get a straight answer on this. |

| welp, if money grew on trees then... (and everything *anime/manga* translated into english... and I mean EVERYTHING *all genres including yaoi, yuri, shota, etc*, then i'd be okay lol...) but other than that, gg |

| As a man who is currently unmedicated and bordering on a psychotic breakdown, how afraid should i be of this taking away my ability to watch anime? |

And BakaBT only hosts those shows from companies that haven't sent them C&D letters (yet), so if they were approached by these people, they might comply (though that goes for AS as well). NyaaTorrents on the other hand may not escape this although they can just host magnet links like ThePirateBay is doing and then they will be fine I doubt NT will give a damn either way. |

| 40% of the downloaders of Nyaa comes from Japan 20% from United States. |
| They are asking people to purchase an inferior product. That’s not going to happen smoothly as they thought. |

| To many mix opinions in this thread not sure if I should be worried or just shrug this off as another feeble attempt at stopping anime/manga piracy. |
Date_A_Live said: To many mix opinions in this thread not sure if I should be worried or just shrug this off as another feeble attempt at stopping anime/manga piracy. Well, I think a lot of it depends on where you live, the laws in your country and which sites you use for watching anime. Personally I'm not worried at all. |
................................................................................. |
| I am surprised that over at the forum of bakabt that no one is speaking of this at all!! (But I think they do not care at allXD) |
| So this is japan version of SOPA/PIPA ?? I guess yes |

jkara said: well what can i say..i just hope gogoanime or animefreak are legal...i dont want want to leave anime of this season unfinished :) They arent. Anything free obviously isn't legal.

As long as people upload raws there will be piracy. |

| Haha! So now they're making their move. I'm guessing this will be undone because they can't stop something like this. |

Naruleach said: News Update The press release includes a PowerPoint that contains an actual list of websites they are targeting. direct download websites (slide 16), [/url] Well their list really seems up to date. On the direct download sites there are at least 5 that are offline for years already. Just because their links are still everywhere on the internet doesn't mean that people can still download that stuff on these sites. |
DerpHole said: People always like to cite these huge numbers about how much money they're losing to piracy... like 5.5 billion dollars. Practically speaking however, these "losses" are a lot less than they are purported to be - simply because if piracy wasn't available, then those potential consumers likely wouldn't ever experience your content at all. Just because 1 million people "stole" your movie/TV show or whatever, does not magically mean that those 1 million people would have bought your product if piracy wasn't a thing. Actually... They didn't lose any money at all. They lost some potential money. They also lost potential cancer. And some potential syphilis. |

AO968 said: Kurogashi said: Wow some people are so delusional that it's not even funny. I hope the Japanese government comes down hard on piracy and once the WWW is regulated up to people's necks, it'd be one hell of a sight to see people crying about how they can no longer P2P. Finally, content creators will get paid for their work. Talk about being delusional. Content creators will be paid the same, piracy or no piracy. The only ones benefiting from this are the publishers, the people the content creators have sold their souls to and they have already so much money, it's ridiculous. The issue isn't about whether or not people get paid for their product, it's about them not being able to control what we see, where we see it, how we see it, etc. Because of p2p, we became the ones in control, and they don't like that, claiming it costs the content providers money, which is a complete and utter lie over the backs of said content creators. And the actual creators don't fight back, because they're caught between speaking up and lose their contract or stay quiet and get what they get. All the publishers lose is the money from marketing, which is less than the money they're pumping in this anti-piracy campaign, and that can be easily dealt with if they use the internet to their advantage. And how is 'the Internet being the greatest marketing device' an excuse to pirate content? That's what a marketing budget is for; and I can assure you it's a lot less than how much they lose from piracy. How can you NOT understand this? When you have millions of people around the world who can freely access something they've never seen or heard before, how is this NOT the best form of free advertisement you can get? [url-=http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/digital-piracy-not-harming-entertainment-industries-study-1.1894729]Studies[/url] show that piracy is a very effective tool to help boost sales (in this case music, but it works for movies and anime as well, as the underlying principle is exactly the same). After all, if people what they see, they're more inclined to buy. Without this free and unlimited access to free anime and manga, I wouldn't even be here. The sole reason I became an anime/manga fan is because of piracy. if they want to fight piracy, they have to offer each and every anime ever made with (at least) English subtitles, no DRM, region lock or any other restriction, in high quality for stream and download. And they can charge a small fee for it if they feel the need to, we're not that stingy. However, because I'm sure they're not going to do that (because that takes effort and money), piracy will always exist. Unfortunately, this will be many years off before the government can ever pull off such feat because pirates are still voters and no politicians would want to face the backlash of taking away people's free stuff. They can't pull it off because they think everyone will just do whatever they say without protest. Wanna bet that only a handful of those sites will do so and that the rest will just chug along like nothing ever happened? Sure, they can have those sites blocked, but the sites are merely a front. The people behind those sites will still go on their merry little way. And it's not like these sites cannot just pop up elsewhere and continue their operations. If you want to stop piracy, offer a better product than them, get rid of the pointless restrictions and give the people exactly what they want. Right now, they're not doing that, so piracy is there to fulfill the market the industry itself is ignoring. Oh, and yeah, this is what you're looking for if you need an answer for why you're wrong in saying Japan is right in doing this. |

Well, good luck convincing the 'Pirate Bap'. Is it even a major animu distributor? Also, the title of this whole project is a bit too silly. How about we just call it "Operation Pirate Bap"? |

| I don't exactly know how will they work this out. More like they are just scaring the pirates and nothing else.. |
| Why are there people on here taking this seriously, it'll crash and burn, relax. |

| I am legitimately laughing at everyone who seems to be treating this as the end of the world or something. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |

| It seems we are misunderstanding something. The news itself said they are targeting manga and anime works, not the websites itself. Most likely, they only wanted the targeted manga and anime deleted from the sites are listed on the table list. |
