Naver Webtoon, Kakao Entertainment and other rights holders close overseas piracy site TuMangaOnline

Naver Webtoon, Kakao Entertainment and other major South Korean webtoon rights holders, working with the Copyright Overseas Promotion Association (COA), have shut down the Spanish-language piracy site TuMangaOnline and multiple related sites, they said on April 27. The action was carried out by Spanish judicial authorities and is described as the first case in which Korean rights holders directly responded overseas under local law and achieved results. The case is heading toward the opening of a formal criminal trial.
