The Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) has officially announced the closure of 15 pirated anime websites in Brazil . The decision followed a meeting between the organization and the platform administrators, who, after consultation, agreed to voluntarily cease operations.
Therefore, these sites, together, accumulated 120 million monthly visits distributing unlicensed content. Although CODA did not disclose the full list of domains involved, it confirmed that, in addition to the closure, the domains were transferred to the organization itself. Users attempting to access these pages now encounter an official CODA informing them of the closure.
In the statement, CODA highlighted the importance of this initiative in Latin America , where the rise of pirated websites has impacted the market. The organization reinforced its commitment to protecting copyright and promoting a healthy environment for the distribution of legitimate content, encouraging fans to consume manga and anime through official channels.
We hope fans recognize the importance of supporting official content. This will help the ecosystem 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.
