While the article above does not mention manga, concentrating solely on anime, several other articles I found on the topic say "anime and manga" (example: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2016/06/japan-combat-anime-piracy-with-humans/), and it stands to reason it should be both, seeing they are part of the same copyrighted material. Any thoughts on this?

A single person searching through the entire internet?
Well, best of luck to him i guess

Well, sounds a bit more than a little dumb.

thats cute, they will never be able to stop it tho, specially when its also widely shared peer-to-peer.

• "Oh, I found a site streaming anime illegally, let's see what we can do about it with the might of the international laws of copyright..."

• Site is hosted somewhere in Central Europe or in China...

• "Yep... nothing we can do..."
