Japan Is in an Anime EMERGENCY:
"Japan is in a serious anime crisis, and the government’s stepping in to save it.
The Cabinet Office’s Intellectual Property Strategy Headquarters in Japan announced on
Friday that it would enact an “emergency measure” to stop anime and manga piracy, in
an effort to save the craft from financial collapse, according to the Japan Times.
In this emergency measure, the government plans to encourage internet service
providers to restrict access to websites that offer pirated anime and manga “on a
voluntary basis.” It named three websites as specific targets of the measure:
Mangamura, Anitube, and Miomio."
