Kodansha Takes Steps Against Leaks
By Epic Dope Staff | April 1, 2021
Spoilers are not only a major annoyance for most readers but it also heavily harms the manga industry.
Shogakukan had come across a specific “spoiler site” where almost all the lines from a manga’s chapter were posted without authorization.
The Tokyo District Court has taken serious steps to cut down on this spoiler rampage. It has thus ruled that it was an act of copyright infringement.
This incident led to the court ruling the act of posting unauthorized manga text as a copyright infringement action.
Attack on Titan's manga is nearing the release date of its final chapter. Naturally, the manga is a hot target for all the spoiler websites out there.
Kodansha has already started taking action against individual who is leaking images or content. The action will be taken "regardless of country."
