June 15, 2025

The Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) is hitting hard this year — with over 677,000 takedown notices filed between April 2024 and March 2025 💥
🧾 Of those, nearly 81% were successful, with platforms like Facebook (93.97%), YouTube (97.84%), and even BilibiliTV & TikTok (99%+) complying with copyright takedown requests. Surprisingly, MP4upload and Streamtape also removed all flagged content.
❌ Meanwhile, known piracy sites like Dramacool, Videokvid, and 9anime ignored the requests — and now, they're no longer operating.
⚠️ Even MangaDex was hit — removing 2,000+ manga series due to DMCA notices from Comeso (not CODA), causing major ripples in the manga fanbase.
🌍 CODA is also working internationally with countries like Brazil, China, and Taiwan, leading to over 3,000 arrests this year in anti-piracy operations.
🎯 With support from anime giants like Toei, Aniplex, and Studio Ghibli, CODA’s efforts could reshape how anime is accessed around the world - especially as legal streaming becomes more dominant
