Japan-based anti-piracy group CODA is reporting new successes in its overseas efforts to disrupt access to pirate sites. Earlier this month, operators of pirate anime sites in Brazil received in-person visits from CODA, acting on behalf of three major Japanese anime producers. CODA reports that Bakashi.tv, the third most-visited anime site in Brazil, shut down among 15 in total. No other sites are officially named, but our unofficial list provides a few pointers.

Brazil is in America

In my region of Canada, people usually differentiate from the continential americas by specifying north or south or grouping them like I just did. I also highly doubt any Brazilians refer to themselves as "american". At the very least the few I have met were quite proud to specifically be referred to as Brazilian.

They do call themselves American. I have met quite a few who do. I used to teach english online during covid and lots of them were from Brazil. They're just not outlandishly exclaiming the whole contintent belongs to them every chance they get. Same way they don't claim a sport league as World championship.

They usually just go "We're American but yeah… (some white snowflakes stole it and we don't say anything because it has anger issues)"

And you're on fediverse now so using a global representation would be more appreciated rather than stroking propaganda shit all over the place.
