A new report reveals that Japan was able to successfully shut down an impressive 84 illegal anime streaming sites thanks to the help of government-supported hackers. Footage from the recently released Demon Slayer movie has been particularly troublesome in recent months.
Sankei reports that the Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) shared that a new international enforcement project utilizing white-hat hackers has forced the closure of 84 pirate sites as of March 2025. It was reported that the damage caused by illegal uploading of Japanese movies, anime and other entertainment in 2022 was between 1.95 trillion-2.202 trillion Japanese yen per year (~US$13.2 billion-$14.9 billion) -- and this number is likely even larger in more recent years. The Japanese government aims to increase the sale of its content overseas to 20 trillion yen (~US$135.5 billion) by 2033, and a firmer stance on piracy and mitigating its impact is one of the steps it is taking to help promote legitimate content that supports anime and manga creators.
