#1331969 Japanese Government to Start Anti-Anime/Manga Piracy Operation Next Month

The right way to stop "piracy" (or reduce it to unconsecuential levels) is to offer a legal option that is at least as good as the "pirated", a good, affordable and convenient service that everyone can use, until they do this people will continue to get what they want in whatever way is available to them, and this is the internet, good luck trying to stop them (us).

The Cultural Affairs Agency estimates the loss caused by the Chinese pirate sites last year was amounted to at least 560 billion yen (about US$ 5.5 billion).

So I'm hurting the industry by not buying Japanese manga that has no official English translations, or manga that are not available in my country? That's great to know. I sure am eager to buy manga that's not up to date and is localized now.
