☞Piracy site A redirects to new B on April 1, 2022
☞April 2, moves back to A☞April 5, redirects to new C☞A has changed its redirection 10 times to 5 different
domains within 3 and a half months
New sites are well-known by redirections and accesses
have been distributed to various sites. Even if somesites have been shut down, the remaining sites are still
able to maintain the total access.
In addition, search engines’ display suppression, ad
placement suspension, security software warnings,
and children filter are controlled through domain. Ifthe domain is changed, the effort must start over again.

Countermeasures against Manga Piracy and theWalls Confronted -1
Piracy sites are placed on overseas servers and operated with the cooperation of anonymous domain services
and intermediary agencies (e.g. certain CDN) to hide their identities.
Sending massive removal requests: One publisher hires an anti-piracy company to make approx. 250,000 removal requests monthly.
⇒ Many are ignored or, even if deleted, reposted soon.
Pursuing legal procedures: Since May 2020, pursued 10+ legal procedures in the US alone, identified names andother information related to 10+ personnel of interest.
⇒ Difficult and time-consuming to uncover their identities, servers often relocated before uncovered.
Request for cooperation to foreign governments: Some countries often respond too late and too little. Example:
Since Oct. 2020, offered identity information and asked making investigation to certain foreign government
through diplomatic channels, and held regular meetings with the police department in charge.
⇒ One administrative penalty in that region so far.
Requesting certain registrars, registries and ICANN to deal with malicious domains/domain hopping: Many
communiques and public comments at ICANN.
⇒ No meaningful action taken by subject registrars so far.
Asking certain CDN service to delete illegal files and stop providing service to obvious piracy sites⇒ Rejected. A lawsuit is ongoing.
5Countermeasures against Manga Piracy and the Walls
Confronted -2
Cooperating with internet and telecommunication industries,
making effort to raise awareness: A latest campaign video“Arigato" had approx. 8.8 million views on X (formerlyTwitter) and 2 million views on YouTube.
⇒ International awareness has not significantly improved.
Removing advertisement placement: In Japan, advertisers andadvertising agency organizations and rights holders cooperated
to establish a framework for not placing ads on piracy sites.
Publishers and CODA sent a warning letter to stop a Spanish
advertising agency that had placed ads on 27 piracy sites.
⇒ Outsider advertisers (e.g. non-members of any industryorganization) often do not cooperate.
Removing search results of actual names and domains of piracy
sites, and reducing their spread through SNS, etc.: Since 2021,
removed 28 malicious massive piracy sites through cooperation
with Google and the courts.
⇒ A cat-and-mouse game.
