News Summary:
Wavve Americas Inc., the parent company of legal streaming service Kocowa, obtained a U.S. court order on April 13, 2026, allowing the takeover of 16 domain names associated with the Dramacool network, effectively dismantling the major anime and Asian drama piracy operation. This follows court records from April 9, 2026, which revealed Wavve Americas Inc. was behind the legal pressure that led to the shutdown of the Dramacool network and several associated piracy sites in November 2024. Previously, on December 3, 2025, Kocowa concluded its content distribution with Viki, making its extensive library of Korean dramas, variety shows, and K-Pop content exclusively available on KOCOWA.com and removing it from Viki Pass Plus subscriptions. Earlier, on October 6, 2025, Kocowa expanded its global reach to 73 countries by deploying Dalet Flex to streamline its operations for delivering Korean entertainment. This expansion came after Kocowa, on September 30, 2025, requested a default judgment and a permanent injunction to permanently shut down the Dramacool network and various copycat platforms, following the operators' failure to appear in court.
