CATDOLL:LL animation producers send "LoveLive!" to police to express their gratitude for cracking down on piracy

The sales of peripheral products driven by the popularity of the work will definitely increase. Faced with huge sales, there will always be people with bad intentions who want to get a piece of the pie. Every year, there is a large number of pirated peripheral products sold in Japan. Once such pirated peripheral production is discovered in Japan, it will face more severe legal penalties. The Japanese police are also ruthless in dealing with such copyright infringement cases. Previously, in July, the Ibaraki Prefecture police arrested a middle-aged uncle who made pirated "LoveLive!" badges. Now, the "LoveLive!" animation producer Sunrise specially presented the Ibaraki Prefecture Police with a "LoveLive!" thank-you painting to express their gratitude to the police.

A joint investigation team composed of the prefectural police of Ibaraki Prefecture and Kagoshima Prefecture in Japan arrested a 44-year-old middle-aged uncle in July because the uncle was selling his pirated LoveLive! character badges on a Japanese online shopping mall. The biggest difference between his pirated LL badges and the genuine ones is the material. The pirated ones use plastic materials, while the genuine ones use metal materials. The price of pirated peripherals is also much cheaper, 4 for only 128 yen, while the genuine peripherals cost 600 yen. As of the time of the incident, the master had earned 2 million yen in sales by selling 4 pirated LL badges for 128 yuan, which is equivalent to selling 62,500 of these pirated badges. And Sunrise sent out a thank-you painting made of the "LoveLive!" theater poster to thank the Ibaraki Prefecture police for arresting pirates and protecting the interests of genuine products, and thanked the police on behalf of the nine ladies of μ's.
