After taking down a major pirated Japanese anime website based in the country, Chinese authorites took action against four people suspected of being involved in its management, a Tokyo-based anti-piracy group said Tuesday.
The Content Overseas Distribution Association CODA, which seeks to deal with overseas copyright infringement of Japanese media content, had previously filed a complaint with Beijing. The group stated that this is the first time that Chinese authorities have worked to remove a pirate website based on one of their requests.
The website in question is b 9 good, according to CODA, which began operations in 2008 under a different name. The website, which went offline Monday, was one of the largest online sources of pirated anime, and around 95% of users were accessing it from Japan, according to the Japanese-language interface.
