The Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) has officially announced the closure of 15 pirate anime websites in Brazil . The decision resulted from a meeting between the organization and the administrators of the platforms, who, after dialogue, agreed to voluntarily cease their activities.
Therefore, these sites, together, accumulated 120 million monthly visits distributing unlicensed content. Although CODA did not release the complete list of domains involved, it confirmed that, in addition to the shutdown, the domains were transferred to the organization itself. Users attempting to access these pages now encounter an official message from CODA informing them of the closure.
In its statement, CODA highlighted the importance of this action in Latin America , where the rise of pirate websites has affected the market. The organization reinforced its commitment to protecting copyrights and promoting a healthy environment for the distribution of legitimate content, encouraging fans to consume manga and anime through official channels.
We hope that fans recognize the importance of supporting official content. By doing so, the ecosystem will continue to grow and evolve.
CODA also stated that it will continue to implement effective strategies to combat piracy and ensure that anime and manga reach fans legitimately and safely. This initiative strengthens the market and benefits both creators and audiences.
