Interesting factoid from that article is that a crackdown in Japan has seen a two-thirds decrease in piracy over from 2021 to 2023, which is very substantial. They then go on to say that piracy globally went up 6.7% in 2023 compared to 2022, so I guess Japan is an anomaly.
I did hear that Japan’s copyright laws are draconian, and boy, are they efficient at getting people for it. These last years I did see a lot of news about people who do scans and such getting arrested over there.
