Pirating Anime = 7 YEARS in Prison?! (New South Korean Law)

Описание: Even though this new anti-piracy law only applies to South Korea, it reflects a growing global push by governments to crack down on anime and manga piracy. But do these policies actually address the real reason piracy exists? In this video, I break down why piracy continues to thrive despite legal streaming options and why simply punishing viewers completely misses the point.

While piracy is objectively wrong and ideally wouldn’t exist, the reality is that it flourishes because legal anime and manga platforms often fail to deliver a reliable, accessible experience. Most fans want to support the industry through official services, but repeated service failures push people away. Using Crunchyroll as a key example, I discuss recent controversies where episodes of Fire Force and other anime were released without Japanese audio or were delayed entirely, making them unwatchable for many users.

This ongoing pattern raises a serious question about quality control in the anime industry, especially when pirate sites frequently offer a more consistent viewing experience than paid services. Ultimately, this video argues that piracy is less a pricing issue and more a service problem, and that improving legal platforms is the only realistic way to reduce it.
