The Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) has officially announced the closure of 15 pirated anime websites in Brazil . The decision resulted after a meeting between the organization and the platform administrators, who, after dialogue, agreed to voluntarily end their activities.
Therefore, these sites, together, accumulated 120 million monthly visits distributing unlicensed content. Although CODA did not release the full list of domains involved, it confirmed that, in addition to the closure, the domains were transferred to the organization itself. Users trying to access these pages now encounter an official message from CODA , which informs them of the closure.
In the statement, CODA highlighted the importance of this action in Latin America , where the increase in pirated 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 means.
We hope fans recognize the importance of supporting official content. With this, 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 the public.
Finally, comment what you think about the closure of the 15 pirated anime sites in Brazil.
