Animation Co-Op Defense League Makes Progress

The Animation Co-Op Defense League (ACDL), a consortium of adult animation distributors & studios including Adult Source Media and Critical Mass, has announced that the organization has, so far, eliminated 10,738 instances of adult anime illegally shared online, consisting of 5006 video file-sharing links, 2123 image file-sharing links and 3609 blog posts direted toward illegally sharing copyrighted adult anime.

Speaking on behalf of the international erotic anime creation and distribution industry, ACDL Director Wendy Crawford explains, “We as a group are all losing out, which in turn impedes all of our ability to produce new material for the fans.” “We have already taken immediate legal action against those who are deriving revenue from our materials without a license. We all want to address this serious situation so we can continue to deliver programming to the legion of fans who deserve the best entertainment available.”
