Bandai, the largest distributor of
Anime-DVDs in the USA, now wants to take legal action against
product pirates, as it is estimated that a third
of anime products in the USA are counterfeit.
The resulting damage is estimated at 300 million
US dollars.
Gentler methods to address the problem
have not helped, says Bandai's lawyer
Cynthia Nishimoto. According to Nishimoto, the main issue with
product piracy is pirated videos, which can be cheaply reproduced
and easily distributed over the internet.
