Naver Webtoon's Anti-Piracy Efforts: Shutting Down 150 Illegal Sites

Naver Webtoon recently issued a press release stating that they had shut down the activities of 150 overseas illegal sites after obtaining a DMCA subpoena and taking unspecified action. The company claimed that the information obtained will be shared with investigative agencies and used to respond strictly with a zero-tolerance policy. Naver Webtoon's anti-piracy efforts are said to benefit not only the company but the entire webtoon industry. The success of the campaign is highlighted by the closure of significant sites such as Aquamanga.com and Flamescans.org, although the effectiveness of shutting down 150 sites is difficult to determine given the constantly shifting nature of pirate sites.
