Watching an animation in one breath is one of the most common videos on major short video platforms, and its biggest advantage is to edit out the most classic clips or interesting clips, and then add your own commentary or insights to carry the "original" tag, and then publish it and wait for traffic. A 52-year-old Japanese otaku (52 years old) was sentenced for making an anime game commentary video.
1. Fixed-term imprisonment of two years
According to information released by KADOKAWA (Kadokawa Tenmon), the man has been uploading an edited "X minute to watch the animation" video with commentary and subtitles on YouTube for a long time since 2019. As a result, there was little traffic on official videos (including television, etc.), and it was decided to prosecute him.
His explanatory videos include ACG works such as "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny", "The Spy Passes", and the forbidden "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny: The Lover of Winged Love". In the field of games, he was arrested on May 17 for allegedly violating Japan's copyright law, including one-hour gameplay videos such as the ending of many games. Because his explainer video was discovered for the first time in Japan, he was eventually sentenced to 2 years in prison, suspended for 5 years, and fined 1 million yen for violating the Copyright Law.
Second, it is tacit consent at home
There are many anime commentary videos in China, and due to different countries, even if the Japanese side really starts a lawsuit to win more than it loses, it basically won't care, unless it is a domestic company with agency copyright, otherwise it basically won't care. One of the biggest problems lies in two points: 1. If the official complaint is made, other platforms will basically not give any traffic to the video; 2. The video traffic of the commentary will not affect the interests of the official website (copyright agent), such as the production and income of genuine peripherals, anyway, the more traffic, the easier it is to fire.
Does it count as NTR?
This leads to the fact that domestic animation copyrights (agents) will not deliberately go to the trouble of UP, but also "welcome" (tacit consent, etc.) to edit (except for official website cooperation!). ）。 Coupled with the fact that the videos they produce get the right to play, it's also good for companies that have agencies. In addition, the domestic ACG copyright problem has only just begun, many times (agency) companies turn a blind eye, and we UP are also tacit, most of them are praising the ACG work (of course, there are also sprays, but few), all basically safe.
Third, Japan is different
Japan is different! We have watched anime for so many years, and we know the laws of Japan very well. Take the anime commentary video this time, they directly knocked out the house! Coupled with Japan's emphasis on copyright issues, a little legal risk has basically been knocked out! For example, recently Japanese artists sued AI painting (companies); Famous artist Aoi Nanase was complained about selling AI paintings; Judging from the well-known Japanese painter Shi Hui's suspected of being misappropriated by AI, Japanese laws are truly inviolable (very BT is)!
For example, there are many "watching an anime in one breath" in China, but there are basically no legal problems in China, but when the Japanese side is so sound, it will basically be knocked out. I don't know if there is a market for anime commentaries, game commentaries, etc. in the future, I hope it can be a few more years~ otherwise it is estimated that UPS like Enba can only be "reborn without a job"~
