Posted in: Japan to expand anti-online piracy law to encompass manga, magazines See in context

I believe the whole copyright revision is something imposed by the US media companies and President Donald Trump of the US, as anime and manga is an threat to theire streaming services like Netflix or Disney plus, which aim to control the Japanese media industry.

Ok, so where does it put official Touhou Project manga, will it be legal or illegal to post and download it under the revised copyright? Because Touhou Project theoretically is an Dojin franchise, but it's official manga is published in magazines, and most of it is uploaded online as fan translated scanlations... Also, I don't understand why the Japanese people themselves cannot read scans of these manga in both Japanese or English (would help them learn English, due to the big quality of the fan translation, which is one of the best in my opinion)

Well, I hope the Japanese industry understands that it cannot allow itself to be deceived by the US. Media industry, and subject itself to the interest of big streaming companies like Netflix or Disney+, to whom the easy and sometimes free access to Japanese media content is a competition and hurts theire business, on the other side of things... JAPANESE MUST REALIZE that theire not partners to Hollywood, theire its rivals and given the chance Hollywood will do everything to limit the reach of Japanese made content on the global audience, and replace Japanese made content with the US made content and US premium services, copyright censorship is a good means to achieve that goal not just in the US but also in Japan, do Japanese want to live in the world where corporations like Netflix decide what they can post online and share with the world.... I personally like Touhou Doujin manga's the only problem is I can only read them in English through a fan scanlation that is uploaded on some "pirate sites" unlike One piece it will never be legally released outside Japan, because its scope is too tiny, so it's an example of one work, which if not for some design fans would not be preserved at all and would eventually dissappear, there's a lot of under invested user generated or simply official mainstream that because of its age becomes forgotten, and Japanese need to either create a legislation that won't hamper with "pirating" such works or perhaps create your own services that will allow downloading such works not just in Japanese but also in English especially if it's determined that making these works freely available to the public is in the best interest of the publishing companies themselves as it gives s demonstration of the Japanese media corporations philosophy and enlarges it's influence not just on the Japanese but oversea audience even in regions like North Korea, where legal distribution is impossible. It should be services mandated and controlled by the government that would offer an selection of Japanese content for both the Japanese audience, and overseas one (in English... You could even use the fantranslations themselves)
