Japan-based anti-piracy group CODA is reporting new successes in its overseas efforts to disrupt access to pirate sites. Earlier this month, operators of pirate anime sites in Brazil received in-person visits from CODA, acting on behalf of three major Japanese anime producers. CODA reports that Bakashi.tv, the third most-visited anime site in Brazil, shut down among 15 in total. No other sites are officially named, but our unofficial list provides a few pointers.

Visits in person? Are anime companies sending out the fucking Yakuza now?

In my region of Canada, people usually differentiate from the continential americas by specifying north or south or grouping them like I just did. I also highly doubt any Brazilians refer to themselves as “american”. At the very least the few I have met were quite proud to specifically be referred to as Brazilian.

These are the dodgy streaming sites laden with ads right? Not surprised they get shut down if they’re profiting of piracy.

In my list of 9 anime streaming sites a whole total of 0 were affected. You can’t beat piracy this way.

So what they’re saying is to stop giving any money to a company that’s part of or reports to CODA. Did I read that right?

Anything you might have spent on anime, manga, or games from the publishers or studios involved with this gang…
