A major Spanish piracy site for webtoons was shut down after a joint effort by Korean webtoon companies and Spanish authorities. The site had approximately 86 million visits in March 2025, highlighting the scale of piracy in the webtoon industry.
Korean webtoon companies collaborated with Spanish authorities to shut down a major piracy site that hosted unauthorized translations of webtoons. The site recorded approximately 86 million visits in March 2025, indicating significant traffic. This operation is part of ongoing efforts to combat digital piracy in the webtoon market.
This shutdown demonstrates the growing international cooperation to protect intellectual property in the webtoon industry. For platforms like TeaNovel that rely on legitimate translations, reducing piracy helps ensure creators are compensated and supports the ecosystem of translated web fiction.
Webtoon piracy has been a persistent issue, with unauthorized sites often hosting translations shortly after official releases, impacting revenue for creators and publishers.
