News Summary:

On April 13, 2026, Wavve Americas Inc., the parent company of legal streaming service Kocowa, won a U.S. court case, securing a judgment to take over 16 domain names associated with the major anime and Asian drama piracy network Dramacool, effectively dismantling the network. This action followed the shutdown of Dramacool and several associated sites in November 2024, which cited legal pressure from copyright holders. Court records later revealed Wavve Americas Inc. was behind this pressure. Previously, on December 3, 2025, KOCOWA concluded its content distribution agreement with Viki, meaning Viki Pass Plus subscriptions no longer included KOCOWA content, with its extensive library of Korean entertainment becoming exclusively available at KOCOWA.com. Earlier, on October 6, 2025, KOCOWA deployed Dalet Flex to streamline operations and expand its reach into 73 countries, aiming to deliver Korean entertainment to a global audience.
