I was wondering your opinions about this? Looks like its quite serious because a few Japanese sites already closed their so they won't get in any trouble... :/

In b4 Japanese citizens set up servers in European countries that don't give a shit and in doing so completely bypass yet another poor attempt to stop piracy through the idiotic method of punishing everyone.

Despite the face that everyone hates it (or so it seems), this is one of the reasons i support crunchyroll. Ya, you may have a problem with their business model, or you don't like the quality, but if some law actually manages to shut down downloads, at least i'll have a channel, within a week or two of the original release.
Onto this particular topic, i don't see this law doing much. It defines no punishments thereby there is nothing to enforce. The uploading side won't change, but people are doing it now. Wow, i'm learning a lot this week. Earlier i found out people die when they are killed. |

Even though there is no punishment now it doesn't mean there won't be. They're simply introducing the idea to the general public, fully knowing that people will get afraid, so this will let them get used to the idea.

Hmm. I'm white, approaching sixty, and have a few extra pounds myself. Am I in this category?
I see a lot of casual ageism on these forums despite it's general openness to differences in race, religion, sexual preference, and the like. We "fat old white guys" are no more homogeneous than any other group.

I'm going to wager a guess that fat, old white guys don't hold much political sway in Japan, anyways.
Unless we're going to get really technical and argue Japan is a client state to the US, but that is another issue entirely. |
