A major Spanish piracy site for webtoons was shut down following 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 affecting the industry.
Korean webtoon companies collaborated with Spanish authorities to shut down a major piracy site that hosted unauthorized translations of webtoons. The site recorded around 86 million visits in March 2025, indicating significant traffic and revenue loss for legitimate platforms.
This shutdown demonstrates the growing international cooperation to protect web novel and webtoon intellectual property. For platforms like TeaNovel that rely on legitimate translations, combating piracy is crucial to support creators and sustain the industry. It also signals a potential reduction in illegal access to translated content.
Webtoon piracy has been a persistent issue, with unauthorized sites siphoning traffic from official platforms. This operation marks a notable success in cross-border enforcement.
