In a resolute statement, those responsible for “Demon Slayer” recently announced legal steps against all Leaks in connection with the first “Infinity Castle” film. We summarize below.
Countless leaks
It has been a little more than a week since the first “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” part celebrated its premiere in the Japanese cinemas, but you can already watch the film in full length and with subtitles in different languages on common piracy websites and on social networks.
Much worse, even on the day of the premiere, it only took a few hours for countless illegal recordings of the strip to appear on the Internet- even though there are high money and prison terms for copyright violations in Japan.
Apparently, some still took the great risk, because it was foreseeable that the long-awaited first part of the “Infinity Castle” film trilogy would attract enormous attention and many clicks-and precisely this audacity the rights holder now wants to act consistently.
Consistent persecution
It has been announced that all illegal activities are strictly pursued and punished with the exhaustion of all legal options. Literally it says:
»We will proceed against serious copyright infringement such as illegal recordings or illegal uploading – including criminal steps. Anonymous uploads can also be traced back. “
In addition, it was pointed out that a violation of the law to prevent unauthorized film recordings and against copyright with a prison sentence of up to ten years, a fine of up to ten million yen or a combination of both punishments can be punished.
The first »Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle« film started on July 18, 2025 with a new visitor record in the Japanese cinemas. In Germany, the evening filler celebrates its cinema premiere on September 18, 2025.
