A Tokyo-based lobby group hailed the move as “groundbreaking”.
The website, called b9good, was the biggest piracy platform for anime catering to Japan's voracious audience, according to the Content Overseas Distribution Association , an anti-piracy industry group.
“It is groundbreaking that a full-fledged crackdown was conducted based on criminal proceedings in China,” Coda said in a statement Tuesday. Contacted by AFP, an official at Beijing's Cyberspace Administration – which regulates the Chinese Internet – declined to comment. The Japanese government and the industry have ratcheted up efforts to crack down on piracy in recent years.
