The Chosen One

@iluminatibot It makes me wonder how many government officials are clones

1997: President Bill Clinton calls for a moratorium on the cloning of human beings.

@Dokumishimo @magnum0081 @omusubirolling1 Even if it doesn't erase the law, it neuters its harm by denying its legitimacy. So putting the law above other checks and balances, seems like a crazy notion to me. Or at least to any sane person from my perspective.

@Dokumishimo @magnum0081 @omusubirolling1 To the eyes of the law in some countries, being LGBT is illegal. It's not just about committing, but also existing. There are aspects of the law that are plain unavoidable, especially when it's outdated. That's why the constitution is the backup to make the law ruling obsolete.

@sanmasankyodai @mu0KsPuLnR57339 @omusubirolling1 That's news to me. I thought Japan would at least have some. Video games is a public amenity where I live. Hundreds, if not, thousands of people can play games whenever they feel like, without paying.

@YunoDawan @mu0KsPuLnR57339 @omusubirolling1 日本には図書館のような合法なゲームを無料で頒布出来る場所は存在しない

@McNasty They want you to forget about them

its crazy how nobody talks about the epstein files anymore

@buffys Bubba

why did we as a society stop talking about how donald trump gave bill clinton a blow job

@higureshuuen I think we have a different definition of piracy here. It's all a misunderstanding. Our definition of piracy is not buying or reselling fakes, it's sharing a game with the community. And this game is obtained from legitimate sources, not fake sources.

どうして日本人は外国人が日本の漫画の海賊版を買うことを理解してくれないんだ。 手に入らないんだから仕方ないんだ。 って文句言ってる人のツイートが話題になってた。 なるほど。 手に入りにくければ偽物を買ってもいいと？ 作者に対する冒涜とも思わずに？ 私の職場にいる外国人職員さんも言ってたよ。 「日本はブランド品が高い。母国ならどこでも安く買える」って。 偽物でも「本物が買えないんだからいいじゃん」って考え。 賛同しかねるね。 「日本の漫画を海賊版で違法に読んでファンになりました」って、 それはなんだかなあ…

@author_pandp I've been thinking about this. The thought of letting something become lost media has always been an incredibly negative notion, except for Japanese and possibly some Indian culture.

This is a Buddhist teaching, right? In the west, we value the preservation of art. We've said as much in this recent dispute about videogames and media. Could it be that japanese people don't feel the need to "preserve" something that's run its course?

@koudukisayou @Altret_KnW @zombies_cleaner Some people will still call it piracy even if it's legal, which also leads adds to more confusion when translated to other languages. Overseas people defend piracy since it's just sharing, but they disagree with infringement.

@koudukisayou @Altret_KnW @zombies_cleaner If it gets national approval, such as with the "Stop Killing Games" movement, then there would be no more treading the lines and it would be backed by the government.

@koudukisayou @Altret_KnW @zombies_cleaner If you hate the law for this, then you now understand what westerners feel when western corporations exploit others for profits. It's always widely disputed.

@koudukisayou @Altret_KnW @zombies_cleaner The Japanese people calling that infringement is spreading misinformation. If they really have concerns that it would harm sales, then they should dispute the law, because the law says it's legal, especially where they're from.

@koudukisayou @Altret_KnW @zombies_cleaner People from western countries tread carefully on this boundary because they don't want any more freedoms taken away. In Japan, you turn a blind eye to doujinshi artists allegedly infringing, but this wouldn't be tolerated in the west.

@koudukisayou @Altret_KnW @zombies_cleaner Loopholes are also defined by cultural and technological aspects. A lot of what you'd call pirates could also win court cases citing they haven't infringed on anybody's rights if a certain definition is satisfied. There's a very thin line between sharing and infringing.
