The phenomenon of piracy, especially outside of Japan, has become increasingly serious in recent years. For this reason, the publishers, primarily Shueisha, have tried in the last year to contain the phenomenon in various ways and express their interests in series such as ONE PIECE, Dragon Ball and many others.
There have been some cases of after being given the opportunity to act more strongly thanks to the Copyright Law enacted in Japan in 2020 Removal of content for copyright infringement on Twitter in the last days. All fans, as well as some official Dragon Ball illustrators, were impressed by these parades. Depending on the amount of content, the accounts have received stops and bans of various types, which generally results in all account holders preventing users who do not follow the page from reading and interfering.
Not only the fans who posted fan art, GIFs, info and leaks were looking for cover, but also official translators like Caleb Cook, who brings the manga My Hero Academia to Viz Media and MangaPlus. So far it seems that I The reported and removed content belongs to manga such as ONE PIECE, Dragon Ball, and Black Clover, some of the most followed and which were also the focus of some fan naivete.
For example, ONE PIECE have fans Littered with Twitter posts after the illegal scans of Chapter 1000 were published, which arrived two weeks before the official release. Something similar happened with Dragon Ball and Black Clover, as well as with other mangas like Attack of the Giants, which had already worked to protect themselves from leaks.
It therefore seems that Twitter will no longer be fertile ground for these posts and is aimed not only at those who illegally use scans and manga, but also those who publish simply harmless fan art and illustrations.
