    If only these groups spent all that money in underserved areas and paying artists. Classically, they’ll instead go after the people filling their own service gaps.

      They don’t care about the artists lol it’s about the distributors losing potential revenue.

    Fuck them.

    They take ages to localize Mangas, even famous ones like Jojo. If it wasn’t for the community, Manga and Anime would have just a small fraction of attention it has today

    piracy is a service problem~

    also of note, they never account for the fact that piracy increases sales in some aspects, without piracy - anime = small. buying physical books when they come on sale for a series you read online? yes, I have a nice collection. Merch, and so forth.

    There is a war on piracy in Japan? Huh. Guess the fact i haven’t even noticed speaks to how well it’s going.
