Not sure if this user (@munou0613) understood what I said, but Japanese schools aren't the only exceptions here.
The entire Japanese society is, too. Corporate, entertainment, many all.
YouTuber Dumanity literally summed this up in this video here.

やっとわかってくれる外国人がいた。 日本のごく一部の、恵まれた勝ち組高校生が、「Japanese school✨️」とか言ってエモい曲流して外国人ウケ狙うせいで勘違いする人増えてるけど、本来の日本の学校はこうだよ。そこに希望も未来もないよ。

日本のコンテンツがうまく海外展開できず海賊版にシェアを奪われてしまうの、ぶっちゃけ日本の異常な出版慣習のせいだと思うんですよね。
たとえば今や世界的作家になった村上春樹ですが、実は当初は海外で全く翻訳が売れませんでした。講談社の海外子会社から『羊をめぐる冒険』や『ダンス・ダンス・ダンス』などの英語訳を出したんですが、批評は良かったけどセールス的には大失敗という状況だったんですね。（ここらへんの経緯は村上春樹のエッセイ集『職業としての小説化』に詳しく書いてあります）
ではなぜ村上春樹が海外で爆発的に売れるようになったのかというと、村上春樹が自力でアメリカの出版エージェントを見つけ出し自力て契約にこぎつけたからです。村上春樹は英文学翻訳者としてのキャリアで培った英語力と海外人脈を活かして、独自にエージェントと探し、交渉し、契約に漕ぎつけます。そうして初めて春樹の本は海外で爆発的に売れるようになった。つまり「日本の出版社」に頼ることをやめたからこそ村上春樹は世界的作家になったわけです。
ほとんどの日本人は知りませんが、世界的に作家のほとんどは出版社ではなく出版エージェントと契約します。エージェントは作家の利益代理人となり、出版社や映画製作会社などとの契約をまとめ、作品が世に出て商品化するのを助けます。日本以外のほとんどの国ではこれが出版業界の基本的な在り方で、このシステムを前提にして出版産業が作られてる。
一方で日本は出版社が実質的に作家の著作権管理を行います。もちろん出版社の社員は著作権管理の専門家ではありません。普通の編集者が通常業務の片手間にやるわけです。なぜ出版社がこうしたやり方を好むかといえば、コンテンツから得られる利益を出版社が独占できるからです。
たとえば日本の漫画家は作品が映像化されてもほとんど収益の配分にあずかれません。たとえば『テルマエ・ロマエ』という漫画作品は映画化されて60億円の興行収入を記録しましたが、作家に与えられた配当金はわずか100万円でした。著作権エージェントという作家の利益代表者を商慣習から排除することで、大手出版社は莫大な利益を上げてるわけです。
しかし当たり前ですけど、そんなシステムで海外展開できるかというとかなり難しいわけですよ。著作権管理を実質的に担っている日本の出版社社員はもちろん外国語がわかりません。海外の企業とネゴシエーションするスキルも時間もありません。海外子会社を作って現地社員を雇っても上述の村上春樹の例のようにコストばかりかかってうまくいかないことの方が多い。だから「旨味はあるけど出版社のコストが重い」として海外展開は絶大なポテンシャルがあるのに後回しにされがちだったわけです。
はっきり言って、これが日本のコンテンツの最大進出を妨げている最大の理由なんですよ。
日本の作家と契約したい海外の出版エージェントは無数にいるのに、作家を囲い込みたい出版社側がガードしてしまうので直接契約ができない。日本の出版社側としても海外進出することで得るメリットより、海外進出によって作家を海外のエージェントに取られてしまうリスクを警戒する。だから海外進出に積極的になれない。
「なぜ日本の漫画やアニメは海外進出に後ろ向きなんだ？」と疑問に思ってる海外の方は多いと思いますが、これがあまり語られない真の理由です。日本の大手出版社はきわめて特殊かつ搾取的な作家管理のシステムを築き上げており、それがグローバルな契約に晒されることで瓦解することを恐れている。海外の著作権エージェントが日本人の作家と直接契約を結ぶ流れが一般化しないと、今の状況は改善されないと個人的には思っています。

Stopping an artist from translating his OWN work for his international fanbase has to be the most idiotic thing I've ever heard.
Just how deep can Japan could go?

Japanese manga artist Shiten Akiyama tried to do something unusual, he translated his own manga HORIZON into English and uploaded it online for free so fans outside Japan could finally read it. But that move backfired. His publisher stepped in and forced him to take everything down, since they control the rights and weren’t okay with him releasing it internationally on his own. The sad part? He wasn’t doing it for profit, he was trying to reach a global audience and keep his series alive. Recently, he opened up on Twitter, saying his work isn’t selling well and that he can barely afford cheap coffee, asking fans for help. Maybe this is a reminder that international fans aren’t as bad as some people make them out to be. And then the internet stepped in. Fans from all over the world flooded his Ko-fi with donations, pushing him close to his goal in just a few hours.

Japan, just copy what Steam did for games but for anime. Make a platform neutral to all companies they can distribute on. Instead of mod support, have fansub support to turn former pirate groups into allies.
Whoever does this will make ten trillion dollars.

Crunchyroll is unavailable in Japan due to licensing restrictions. This geo-block means Japanese audiences never see the Western-localized versions of anime, where subtitles are often rewritten, content is censored, and dubs are altered without anyone noticing the changes.

Look this is cheesy but the NASA livestream comments are overflowing with "Godspeed from ______" comments and it warms the heart. We do nationalize space travel a lot, soft power etc., but on the long horizon this is a human adventure and that's what will be remembered.

Today, we are happy to announce that GTA Wiki has moved from Fandom to gta.wiki!
This move allows the GTA Wiki to operate free from Fandom's increasingly strict policies, meaning less content censorship (including no longer censoring certain words in articles). This also brings significantly fewer ads, the ability to edit without creating an account, a redesigned and improved front page, and a better overall mobile experience.
To ensure the GTA Wiki continues to succeed, we need your help! Here are a few ways you can support the new move:
• Spread the word! - Tell your friends that we've moved, and link to gta.wiki anywhere you share GTA Wiki articles. If you are a content creator, please credit gta.wiki instead of the old Fandom domain.
• Don't click on Fandom links - In search results, always pick gta.wiki links instead of Fandom ones. This tells Google and other search engines which site to prioritize for readers. You can also install the Indie Wiki Buddy (getindie.wiki) browser extension, which automatically redirects you to the new domain and hides Fandom results from search pages.
• Update existing links! - Bookmark gta.wiki in your browser for easy access, and replace any existing instance of "gta.fandom.com" with gta.wiki.
• Help improve the wiki! - On the new site, you can even make edits without creating an account. You’re also welcome to join our Discord server if you have questions or want to contribute.

@alphaomegavan One final words.
If you said embrace AI is inevitable, you're wrong about one thing. You should never view AI as profit maker.
We are their creators and we control what AI should do for our work. NPCs in future games is an example of how it should done correctly.
English
@alphaomegavan I may support AI if it was for labour works.
But in the world where entertainment is a core objective for the audience, you should've known the boundaries of AI on where can it worked and where can it be used, not outright slopping it off like a jackpot from a slot machine.

You either adapt or die
People who held on to physical servers were replaced when virtual machines became a thing
The ones who held onto their data center were replaced when Cloud infrastructure became a thing
Now AI is here and we are at the adapt or be replaced again
No amount of running and hiding and throwing a fit will change that

there’s an ancient chinese saying that goes: “locks prevent honorable people, but not scoundrels.” most people are honorable and won’t actively try to put an artists’ work through AI when they say not to / make it harder to, but AI grifters will do everything they can to steal from and hurt artists. the AI mantra may be “it’s too inevitable,” “it’s too late,” “there’s nothing you can do about it” - but in reality, every day, you can choose to try to hurt others or not. finding happiness in life is hard for everyone and I hope you’ll choose to contribute to someone’s joy instead of their pain. I promise it’ll bring you more joy that way. merry christmas
