The Anti-Anime/Manga Piracy starts in less then 24 hours :( In cooperation with 15 major anime production companies and manga publishers, the Japanese government will next month (August 1) start a huge extermination operation against 580 foreign sites which have illegally uploaded anime and manga contents on the web without the copyright holders permission, NHK reported on July 28. While the government has started supporting the genre as one of their important cultural exports, there appears to be no end of illegal uploading of anime and manga via pirate sites, mainly operated by Chinese. 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).
