The court order, issued on August 20 and served on August 30, requires leakers to reveal their identities or “face potential legal consequences.” According to media reports, this unprecedented step aims to stop the unauthorized distribution of episodes before their official release date, which has become a serious problem for anime producers.
CODA and its member companies, including Kodansha and Toei Animation, have been gathering evidence against the leaks and are preparing to take further action against other potential leaks. The court’s decision also raises the possibility of similar measures being taken against manga leaks.
