Software isn't mentioned in the law.

>>9809181
Source is >>9809161

>Oddly, the law seems to entirely omit certain categories of content, such as printed content (manga) and software – the bill’s creators apparently not having been paid off by these industries – instead concentrating exclusively on audiovisual recordings.

Besides, few of us live in Japan, so it doesn't matter anyway. Gooks will circumvent it somehow.

>>9809161

I laughed

>>9809153
Will they be able to crack PD? Time will tell.

The article only mentions music though, not 2hus or comiket uploads.

I don't think eroge will ever be big enough a market for anyone to care, and even with music they're mainly going to target topselling pop shit like in every other country

I wish I didn't go to that link. Clicked around and ended up here

Here's one person's comment

>Creepy 2Chan loosers hates on girls for pretty much being above 20 y/o.
>And we SanCom Pervs looks down on the 2Chan-Creeps.
>Fuck yeah! I feel like such a good person.
>So from one pervert to another, HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE! We are better than them! CAUSE WE LOVE GIRLS!
>(Even though some of us probably never will have one) orz
>ANYWAY!!!
>/BROFIST

Fuck that site, man.

>>9809196
So it only affects live action movies. At least it doesn't affect me.

>>9809207
Aren't the eroge companies hurting for sales pretty badly? I'm sure they care.
Atelier Kaguya for example is in life support.

>>9809247
It takes lots of money to get laws made that will benefit you.

What about anime and manga?
Are they affected by it?

>>9809261
Printed materials and software are apparently not affected. Video and music are affected but whether or not they'll prosecute things outside of major corporations' material is unknown.

>>9809270
I suppose anime are part of those major companies' material, right?

All according to plan to dumb down the masses. Soon there will be no more free knowledge. If you want a book, you'll have to buy it digitally. Computers will only be for hobbyists (aka the smart people) while everyone else "loves me some tablets and obamaphones xD". School education will continue to get watered down more and more. Homes will begin to disappear to make room for dorm style living for small families because everyone will be forced to have only 1 child. This is 2033--a New World Order!

>>9809293
It's scary to think people actually believe this.

does downloading on a public anime tracker nyaatorrents for example illegal if i don't live in japan? will they cooperate with our government if they found out?

>>9809293
You must've turned on the redditor inside >>9809394 because your post somehow justified a downvote. Good job, nonetheless.

>>9809427
Downvote? What downvote?

>>9809435
It's a tool called 4watch, some neat little add-on for people with big dicks.

What ever happened with the virtual child pornography bill?

>>9809284
Some is, some isn't I presume.

>>9809414
Unless there is a law they can prosecute you with in the US, it's irrelevant. They can sue you, though.

By the way, whether a tracker is public or private doesn't matter. People who want to sue you can get into private trackers too

>>9809482
prosecute you with in your country*

Saying US was reflex

>>9809153
Thank god, now elevens will start using filehosting services instead of their blasted closed network.
This will make getting eroges that much easier.

>>9809530
usenet is best

>>9809537
>pay to pirate
Yeah right.

>>9809550
It is a superior service in every way to torrents and DDL. I don't think this is even arguable. If anything, the price is good because it keeps the userbase smaller, so it gets less attention. $10 a month is spare change, man.

This is like the same kind of crap that happened when they tried to stop people from recording TV shows on a VHS.
Cept now I guess companies can afford to bribe their laws into effect.

>>9809226
Jesus

>>9809591
You'd think people like that would be banned from commenting.

>>9809550
Your mom is paying your internet service provider. By your logic, you are already "paying to pirate".

Usenet is a great service anyway. It's full of sparky-type crazies who write essays about alien mind control. Why ISPs stopped offering it "by default" is beyond me,

>>9809668
Because it's used for piracy.

aitsuwinnnnynan?

Someone please explain...

>>9809674
So is HTTP.

>>9809682
They would lose customers if they stopped providing that. Cutting Usenet doesn't seem to have affected them. They tried to throttle torrents, remember?

>>9809679
She's mocking someone for using Winny instead of Share
so meta Xd

you can't even get eroge on usenet

>>9809766
Yeah, it's too bad. I wish you could.

Maybe people will start using it for that in the future.

>>9809226
disgusting

This probably won't stop anyone from uploaded anime/games.

does this effects touhou doujin music?

>>9814119
Do you live in Japan? If you don't, why do you care?

>>9814157
because the law could cause collateral damage to others

>>9809153

What game is that?

>>9814434
Eroge no Sonic-kun

fuck music.

If they touch porn, games and anime ... oh its on motherfuckers.

>>9815758

You know, everything can upload online will be affected.

>>9816040
What will happen:
1. Some people in Japan will go to jail
2. No one else affected
3. Japanese will find a way to circumvent it
4. Things continue as usual
