Japan hires humans to scour the internet for pirated anime
https://www.engadget.com/2016/06/21/japan-human-pirated-anime-hunter/
Japan's automated bootleg-hunting software isn't quite as
effective as its government would like. So, it's boosting its
anti-piracy campaign by hiring human employees to manually
scour forums, torrents and video-streaming websites for
illegally distributed anime and live video content. See, it's
pretty easy to slip through the clutches of an automated
system -- all people have to do is change the video a bit to
make sure it's not an exact match to what Japan's computers
are looking for. That tactic obviously won't work on human
personnel.
