Furthermore, in May 2025, CODA participated in the World Audio Visual &amp; Entertainment Summit (WAVES 2025) upon invitation from the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, and took part in a panel discussion on protecting content and anti-piracy measures in the digital\/online era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u3000Going forward, CODA will continue to deepen its cooperative relationship with TFCC while striving to combat international online violations and protect content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that this activity was part of a project commissioned by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25a0 Related: CODA Conducted an Inspection of Mumbai, India<br><a href=\"https:\/\/coda-cj.jp\/en\/news\/489\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">https:\/\/coda-cj.jp\/en\/news\/489\/<\/a><br>\u25a0 Related: Participation in \u201cWAVES 2025\u201d Hosted by the Government of India<br><a href=\"https:\/\/coda-cj.jp\/en\/news\/714\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">https:\/\/coda-cj.jp\/en\/news\/714\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>About CODA<br><\/strong>CODA (Content Overseas Distribution Association) was established in 2002 at the call of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Agency for Cultural Affairs to promote the overseas development of Japanese content and take anti-piracy measures. Japan\u2019s proud content, including music, movies, anime, broadcast programs, video games, and publishing, plays an important role in enhancing the nation\u2019s international presence and economic growth. As digital technology becomes more widespread, it is even more significant to protect Japan\u2019s content from increasingly artful copyright infringement and promote the content industry\u2019s development. CODA contributes to the deterrence and detection of online and other piracy, by sharing knowledge with relevant government agencies, organizations, and companies in Japan and abroad, to engage in direct and indirect anti-piracy measures, as well as public relations activities.
