Kakao Reveals Anti-Piracy Successes, Legal Action Against Major Manga Sites * TorrentFreak


Kakao's fifth anti-piracy report reveals details of its 'snitch-on-a-pirate' campaign and legal action against three major manga sites.

How to tackle this threat depends on the product, the audience, and the location and nature of pirate sites and services active in the niche. Most visible on social media, P.CoK claims to recruit webtoon fans as undercover operatives and recently offered rewards for those willing to blow pirates’ cover. The full report (available in Korean only) reveals communication from Kakao to Tachiyomi’s developer, apparently in response to what the company perceived as insufficient compliance.
