The fourth installment of the Manga-Anime Guardians Project (MAGP) promotional series presents a new "Stop! Piracy" video using characters from the Sgt. Frog anime franchise. In Japan, an anti-piracy initiative features a figure known as "Eiga Dorobou" (Movie Thief), who appears prior to every film screening. In this particular video, Eiga Dorobou teams up with Keroro, who unwittingly attempts to access pirated anime and manga, along with his friends.
Established in July 2013, MAGP is dedicated to promoting information sharing between manga publishers and animation studios concerning piracy issues both within Japan and overseas, researching the current situation, and formulating countermeasures. This latest "Stop! Piracy" video aims to inform the public that illegal downloading now covers all types of copyrighted content, including anime and manga, under the revised Copyright Law that came into effect on January 1, 2021. The video will be screened in 75 theaters across the Kanto region beginning in January 2021.
