Japan Govt. Enforcing Anti-Piracy Law on Anime & Manga

>This Friday the Japanese government will begin an anti-piracy campaign with 15 anime and manga producers and distributors and enforce legislation from October 2012 directed at illegal file sharing.

>Since the legislation, piracy has remained a problem in Japan just as it has worldwide. Anime and manga are one of Japan's cultural exports as they have spread in popularity around the world.

>The government and the 15 producers and distributors will begin contacting 580 "overseas pirate sites" demanding they delete copyright infringing content. The sites are located around the world, but many are in China, where much of the anti-piracy campaign will focus. A new site will direct fans to legal copies of affected works, which are available for a few hundred yen (equal to a few US dollars), the NHK noted.

>Because Japanese anime and manga is a niche market outside of Japan, many people will watch anime and read manga with fan translations before they are licensed and legally distributed in their home country. The Japanese government and partnered foreign distributors will need to address this problem, and anti-piracy laws have done little to fix it so far.

>Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry revealed its Manga-Anime Guardians project, which will monitor and remove illegally uploaded copies of anime and manga. The project aims to create an environment where people can enjoy official versions, spur creation, and continue to create new works and cultivate new talent. The METI states online piracy hurts Japan by nearly $20 billion. Over half of US anime and manga fans watch and read pirated works, according to the METI.

Fuck me. OK guys, quick question: I am only into this stuff for awesome looking tits. So anything from G-rated tease shots to hardcore nude porn and anything in-between, who draws/animates the best breasts?

I actually haven't pirated anything while living here because I'm afraid of their laws.

I think streaming is legal but downloading isn't.

Just use Perfect Dork, like the entire other population of Japan does. And if you're REALLY paranoid, use a VPN service that doesn't keep logs (these are expressly designed for safe piracy btw) and you'll be 100% safe.

They can indeed but your post seemed to suggest you were under the impression this only aimed to effect the ability to pirate older shows. I was merely informing you that such sites were also targeted.

>>12322674

they don't aim to affect the ability to pirate any shows, old or new

and regardless of what they aim to do, the result will be the same

I'd be very willing to watch anime on my television and buy the blu-rays if I found it were good if I could.

If anti-piracy laws means the possibility to do so, then I for one welcome it.

always nice for the random clueless /a/ emigrant to weigh in with their smart, important opinion

[Anonymous No.]

>>12322757
I'm sure you're only saying that because you don't agree with my opinion on piracy. I'm sure that you personally have an agenda to discredit my opinion as such because you wish to pirate and steal but you can't say that aloud because it would seem unprofessional, you know very well that stealing is a bad and non-virtuous act but you justify it with statements of overpricing and unjust practice from companies, but all this is but shallow excuses for your true feelings, that you are entitled to free stuff, that companies have to serve you proper our you have justification to steal their stuff. This is despite the fact that you are not forced to by these products, but you still want them. The internet has provided you with a easy and convient way to steal them but stealing alone would make you feel bad, and so the lies you tell yourself act as a shield. And so you say bad things about my opinion whilst giving no opinion yourself because such actions will give me negatives and you nothing. Then when it has settled, everyone disagreeing with my opinnion, you will place your own opinion into the fray, and the mindless masses that have no opinion left to turn to will be drawn upon yours. Thus building the layer of your sinful shield to protect you from guilt, the justification that you are doing a good thing for a good cause and you now have people to back you up in your decite. You've brainwashed yourself and others into believing lies in order to comfort yourself.

Good luck with that. Only the Great Japanese Firewall and death penalty to downloaders with death penalty to uploaders' families will maybe help a little.

>Because Japanese anime and manga is a niche market outside of Japan, many people will watch anime and read manga with fan translations before they are licensed and legally distributed in their home country.
Implying they will be
>licensed and legally distributed in their home country
ever.

If you arn't japanese or live in japan, you have nothing to worry about.

It's not like your gov't is going to extradite you for downloading a chinese cartoon. This is mostly to scare japanese into not uploading in the first place.

Obviously it will be more difficult to find stuff, but it's not like you'll get in trouble if you do.

/g/ here. If your requirement is only to download (translated) anime, then your solution is to DDL from the translators themselves. Basically the idea is to DDL from their packlists or XDCC from IRC.
It's a direct connection to their server. Unlike P2P sharing methods, you can't be compromised by anti-piracy companies that are acting as one of the peers.
Of course, like most communication methods, DDL is compromised by MITM attacks, so you have to assume that both your computer and the translator's server are uninfected.

I'm living in Japan, and I am definitely one of the people who needs to be concerned. It's not an exaggeration to say that I may kill myself if I can't download the only things that make me happy.

How nice of them, even if it does just mean they'll be pirated again immediately.
