52 Кб, 407x638In Russia, there is a figure named Krasnov. He used to run "Anistar," a pirate anime site that was officially blocked by Roskomnadzor. Now, he has become the head of content for "RuAnime," a Russian company that acquires legal licenses for anime (from Chinese and Japanese studios) and is associated with "DEEP".
The issue: "RuAnime" officially states in its VK group and Telegram channel that its releases feature "Anistar dubbing." At the same time, the blocked Anistar website is filled with ads for the gambling site 1xBet, which is also banned in Russia.
Questions:
1. Should copyright holders be concerned about reputational damage if they cooperate with "RuAnime," given that the company openly promotes a blocked pirate site?
2. Why would a company with official licenses continue to advertise a pirate brand that was banned for infringement?
3. I wonder if this is just a strange coincidence or a known practice in the industry?

Would they even care atp? They'd better deducted that reputational damage the moment they decided to make some money in russia
Looks like that pirate brand is more appealing to the general audience than the possibility to not pirate. The copyright holders probably would lose nothing besides dignity and maybe gain some audience.
Where outside Japan do people respect anime' IP holders? This one is pretty evident.
