Anime industry seeks to block piracy sites in U.S

Major anime companies, including Amazon and Disney, met with U.S. Congressman Darrell Issa to discuss new anti-piracy measures. They focused on blocking access to foreign piracy sites, aiming to support the proposed "American Copyright Protection Act." This initiative marks a shift in strategy as companies seek stronger actions against digital piracy, which has been a challenge since the rise of torrent sites in the 2000s. The discussions aim to find effective solutions for the U.S. market. Issa plans to consult with more companies, including Google and Verizon, to advance the anti-piracy bill. Concerns remain about potential overreach and censorship, echoing past debates over similar legislation.
