Japan To Build AI System To Detect & Combat Anime, Manga Piracy - Animehunch

The system will train AI to recognize piracy websites by analyzing their layouts, advertisements, and content patterns. It will also utilize image recognition to detect unauthorized use of manga and anime materials provided by publishers.

Piracy is the best thing that happened to anime. Without it, anime and Japan wouldn't be nearly as popular.
They're shooting themselves on the foot. People discover anime and manga through piracy, and then if they love it, they end up spending money on it.
Just look at Berserk. I bet 90% of people who spent money on the mangas and all the deluxe editions of it discovered it through "illegal" means.
- In South America Goku is probably the second most recognizable icon next to Jesus. Piracy includes bootleggers so you have to wonder if any of that is possible without piracy.
  
  In South and Central America Goku is probably the second most recognizable male icon next to Jesus.
  Are you sure about that?
massive financial losses due to piracy,
No. That's not "losses". It's just potentially lost sales. In reality though we call that, "wishful thinking". So to Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs I say:
- I rather pay 10 dollars for Miru on the playstore to torrent anime effectively than to subscribe to netflix or whatever else gives people anime because they never have what I would want
  Even though I don't watch anime anymore, manwha + music separates my work life and entertainment from my pc so I can't just work more effectively
Or in another words: how did some lame tech company sell a web crawler for a duck ton of money to a bunch of senile government employees because it had an AI sticker.
Why not just provide better overseas support for anime and manga?
- Providing good service takes actual effort
  
  I guess you're right. I guess I was thinking better service would equate to more sales /less worry about piracy
- You know that quote by Gabe Newell that gets posted all the time in this comm? The perceptive one that we all like to treat as the end of the matter?
  Well its truth is matched only by its extraordinary naivete. IP interests are not going to invest in competitive service delivery. They are going to invest in technical solutions that remove the need for competitive service delivery altogether. Only once the high-margin options are exhausted will they relent, and start the hard work of building something value-for-money. Doing the right thing is a last resort.
So how does one acquire the training data that this will use. It sounds like they are gonna gather "all" of the original copies from various publishers in order to train the AI. Would be a real shame if someone were to discover where that was being stored.
Thats a way to kill a bit market to japan.
Anime become something thanks to piratery, if not it will be only a jp thing. If pirate anime sites stop existing. Japan will never sell a anime figure again overseas.
- Unfortunetly it might survive due to anime going mainstream. Alghtough only anime. Manga and light novels are going to burn.
  
  Where do you get your light novels? Usually when I search for them they don't exist.
"It will also utilize image recognition to detect unauthorized use of manga and anime materials provided by publishers" If this somehow backfires and sites like CBR or TheGame fall victim to this, it will be very funny! but I hope this AI fails miserably!
No but the piracy website just gonna include a robots.txt and now you're back to square dumb, Japan
Funny how they don't even bother attacking torrent beyond harassing ISPs lol
Centralized corporate trash can get fucked
Assuming this s shit ai would not only work but be even remotely accurate.
Even assuming rorbots.text isn't used,
It sounds as easy as any other method to circent.
I also find it kinda ironic Japan is do xenophobic the don't seek to realize that piracy is the reason anime became a worldwide thing to begin with.
- No shit. Way back when, we traded VHS tapes of fan-subbed anime across continents. I subbed two episodes of a show someone brought from Japan on laserdisc for a convention. This was the only way to watch anime back then. As fun as it was, nobody in their right mind wants to go back to all that hassle, so just provide legal options. If you build it, they will come.
  
  they never get it, like a mayority of pirates would buy if it was easy to do without hassle
  as our god newel himself said
Another reason to hate AI!
what will actually happen :
Nyaa will prevail
