South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) convened an international enforcement meeting on June 9 in Seoul to strengthen global cooperation against copyright infringement targeting K-content.
The “2026 International Copyright Protection Enforcement Conference,” held at Lotte Hotel Seoul, brought together law enforcement agencies from five countries — Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and the Netherlands — along with Interpol, the U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Korea office, and Korean authorities including the Ministry of Justice, prosecutors, and police.
Private-sector participants included major content industry stakeholders such as Naver WEBTOON and Kakao Entertainment.
The meeting focused on sharing enforcement strategies and coordinating joint operations to track and apprehend overseas copyright offenders. Discussions also covered ongoing international investigations under Interpol’s “Stop Online Piracy” (I-SOP) initiative, as well as public-private collaboration efforts.
The ministry emphasized that cross-border copyright crimes require coordinated global responses, pledging to further strengthen its investigative network with international partners.
90% of the stuff I pirate from korea doesnt even have an actual translation or if it does, it was clearly done with low effort ai, including the ai prompt sometimes
The official reading apps/sites are also generally a horrible experience as well. Not to mention that there’s a big issue with fragmentation of what content is where and discoverability of that content. Also, it’s not uncommon for the translation to be many months behind raws because the publishers don’t give a fuck about catching up and release it on the same schedule as raws. I could go on and on. At least compared to over a half decade ago things have drastically improved in terms of official translation coverage I guess… Oh right, even if the experience is bearable I just don’t feel good reading with all the telemetry on me. I trust random piracy websites 100x more than official ones. Lmfao

The US state/Epstein class is involved, so we know its a Capitalist ploy to strengthen their grip on people, and lure nations into a US dominated anti-piracy network. All such initiatives comes from US pushing their crap ideology through ‘free market’ trade agreements that all helps the US Epstein c*nts keep their power structure…
we of the high seas should also have a conference (anonymously) to advance our goals too!
Somalia representatives: Eh? We came to talk about piracy, not about customers’ rights!
