@Mott_r777 @snettik1 Doujins are considered parody/fair use.

@snettik1 Hard to understand for me why ppl feel like making doujins is ok then in the first place if copyrights that respected

About piracy: I think Japanese strict attitudes about piracy is one reason why doujin culture flourishes there. People are more willing to spend mone. Something like Comiket wouldn't work here because few people want to pay $5 for a random porn comic Just compare the state of Japanese and western media. One reason for this is respect for creators

@zuma94jp (2/2) If I translated correctly, the last sentence said that Japanese people can do same when it’s not available. Do you know if anyone in Japan pirated Phantom Blood 2007 movie? This movie was never released after its initial showing in cinema.

@zuma94jp It’s pretty interesting to read the thoughts of Japanese person who tries to understand Western side too. Can I just ask you one question? (1/2)

日本人がブートレグや海賊版を「元の著作権者から盗んでいる」と考えるのは世界でも珍しいほうだと思うので、これを西洋の奴らと理解し合うのは一生無理だと思うんだよな　そして日本のメーカーや企業は本来得られたはずの利益をずっと逃し続けるという　なぜなら販売していないから

@wphayoung @tabunenoki If there are zero ways to watch it legally and I mean absolute zero (not even talking about regional restriction but overall lack of availability), then I do what must be done to watch it. Piracy is a service problem. Companies should make their content accessible.

@OldClassicGamer @tabunenoki Your first instinct when not being able to do something legally is to do it illegally?

@Ultrakyriel I personally agree with concept that as long as people are willing to pay, they should not be left unable to watch. This is the only way to combat piracy successfully.

While Japanese otakus and fandom largely do value the idea that some fans might be able to experience something privileged that not everyone gets to enjoy, overseas fans don't. It's more driven by the idea that as long as people are willing to pay for it, it should be accessible.

I don't think this is the case. The real difference has more to do with the idea that exclusivity to select fans should be a part of business policies. This is in part built upon the idea of a gated community with events to make those attending feel more privileged.

@Ultrakyriel I think Ministry is not calling full movie fair use but what they tried to say is that a lot of tweets which showed just a still image or only small clips, and not a full movie got taken down when Khara flagged it.

That's not what fair use means? We've reached a stage where people aren't even bothering to understand the terms they are throwing around now?

@tabunenoki For example, only thanks to pirated recordings from TV, Japanese release of Alfred J Kwak is available and Golden Bat 1972 becuase guess what? Copyright holders did not release DVD/BD. If copyright holders want to combat piracy they should release content, I am willing to pay!

@tabunenoki The problem is when copyright holder does not provide legal means to watch and keeps it inaccessible and this is something Japanese don’t understand. For example, I want to be able to legally watch Phantom Blood 2007 movie, Gothicmade 2012 movie. Piracy is a service problem.

Neon Genesis Evangelion 30th Anniversary Special Showing CLIP TEST @khara_inc @eva30th_fes #エヴァフェス #エヴァ30

A new unreleased Commodore 64 game preserved today with our release of Cavey - a 1992 budget platformer sadly never to be, and which featured a built-in level editor. Plenty of promise and its a huge shame it never got further! Source code included too! gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/cavey/

@animeupdates Maybe they should officially release it online then so people don’t need to illegally share the content?

Studio Khara of 'EVANGELION' says they may hold people legally accountable that share leaked content from the new Asuka short film "Reposting, sharing, or otherwise distributing such content without permission... is also prohibited. Violators may be subject to legal liability."

@animeupdates If it won’t be released online or on Blu-Ray/DVD, this will end up lost one day like Phantom Blood Movie.

The New 'EVANGELION' short Anime film starring Asuka will NOT be released for online streaming "The new short Anime... which lasted about 15 minutes, was released as an 'exclusive video' that only fans who visited the venue could see" Last chance to watch it is today in-person

@UbisoftCanada Switch

@MaximFoulquier Rule number one when making fan projects. Never reveal before it’s ready for release. That way if C&D is sent, it will at least be preserved by others.

With the closure of Bluepoint Studio, now feels like the right time to share something. Sony sent me a cease and desist letter regarding my second Bloodborne remake project that I posted about in November 2024. I was incredibly excited about this project and worked on it a lot in my spare time. Then I received the letter you can see here. I told myself, “Okay… I expected this might happen. Maybe it’s because a real Bloodborne remake is actually in development, with Bluepoint leading it for the PS6 launch?” I didn’t say anything in March 2025 because I decided to repurpose all the assets I had created for that project into a new game set in my own universe, inspired by Bloodborne. My plan was to reveal the letter once the game was ready to communicate. Unfortunately, plans have changed. I’d rather speak about it now, as my disappointment is immense. The disappearance of Bluepoint is a tremendous loss for the industry and for the dream of a Bloodborne remake. Why are you making such absurd decisions, Sony? Shutting down such a talented studio while you’re not even making a Bloodborne remake and on top of that, sending cease and desist letters to small fan projects? Are you serious?

@Ambar_SIFF_MRA Interesting how they chose Brave Heart as background music which is originally a Japanese song. The version in this video is Korean cover though.

He turned rejection into motivation & discipline, and she wasted her life chasing fun. Hard work always wins.

NEWS: A recent toy fair image reveals Rayman will feature in a line of Ubisoft themed figural bag clips, likely made by Monogram Intl.

There exist a PC-88 version of Back to the Future action game, developed by Makoto Ichinoseki and published by Pony Canyon, which is lost media. If anyone has or finds this, please dump it.
