<!-- Anime and manga piracy is the unauthorized distributing of anime and manga, and is a form of copyright infringement.

History
The act of pirating manga dates back to the early 1950s, where pirated volumes from small publishers would be sold in various smaller retail stores. However, after the popularization of manga magazines in 1959, this practice started to die out. By the late 1960s, this practice was considered dead.

RESOURCES
Index (禁書目録 (インデックス)) is a fictional character created by Kazuma Kamachi and first illustrated by Kiyotaka Haimura. She is a major character in the light novel series A Certain Magical Index.

Creation and conception
According to Kamachi, Index was first conceived with the concept of "a book with powerful magic is common, but will it be interesting if done as a character instead". He also considered "How cruel the environment would be to save her". The rest of the series was created around this concept.

Kamachi has also referred to Index as "a mysterious character who is at least deeply involved in the flow of the story". He also commented that he wanted to make it so that even in parts where she rarely appears, "depending on how far she is away from the incident, it acts as a symbol of peace that shows how much peace is at stake".

Appearances
Index is a Christian nun for the English puritan church. She has photographic memory, or the ability to perfectly remember everything she sees. She has also memorized all 103,000 books of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. She was affected by a curse placed on her by the church, which forced her memory to be wiped every year. After realizing this, Toma Kamijo manages to break the curse by touching it with his right hand. After that, Index began living with him. She often bits Toma for getting into dangerous situations without telling her.

Despite not being able to use magic, due to the books she has memorized she is able to intercept other spells to do as she commands.

Other appearances
Index makes a brief appearance in the 20th episode of A Certain Scientific Railgun, where she trys to reclaim food she dropped after a cleaning robot took it.

Index also appears in Kamachi's one-volume crossover series Toaru Majutsu no Heavy na Zashiki-warashi ga Kantan na Satsujinki no Konkatsu Jijou (とある魔術のへヴィーな座敷童が簡単な殺人妃の婚活事情).

Popularity
Kazuma Miki, the editor at ASCII Media Works for the series, once compared Kazuma Kamachi to Index, after Kamachi was able to remember an entire book in his head.
