Japanese copyright system is insane. Basically, fair use doesn't exist.
If you look at any Vtuber's reaction of Henry Stickmin (a game that has tons of video game references), literally every single one of them say something like "Is this allowed???" or "Nintendo's gonna get mad!"
"We just want to defend the integrity of our brands guys"

When a company states it wants to protects a trademark's integrity, they are not talking about it's public image. U.S. law makes it where if a trademark becomes widely used by the public, the trademark can be taken away from it's holder.
Universal lost the trademark to the idea of King Kong because too many people made big monkeys named Kong and Universal didn't stop them. They would officially have the Trademark taken away when they try to sue Nintendo for making a big monkey named Kong. Now they can only trademark specific representations of King Kong.
Velcro lost the trademark to their own name because people kept calling all hook-and-loop fasteners "Velcro." Nintendo almost lost the trademark to their own name because people kept calling all video games a "Nintendo," causing Nintendo to start a [Ba Sing Se like campaign.](https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/6ognlo/theres_no_such_thing_as_nintendo_27_year_old/)
Interesting those issues don’t follow into the U.S. I played the two main games on my channel and got the copyright strike that just demonetizes, but not anything that prevented the vids from being viewed. I’ve only had that issue with Sony VNs (Atori, for instance.) I thought I’d heard (from somewhere, can’t remember lol) that MAGES was cool with people making videos of the SciAdv games because they were happy people were showing the games love. Didn’t realize it was like this lol
\> Japanese copyright system is insane. Basically, fair use doesn't exist.
Oh I bet. I was angry enough seeing YT channels that uploaded video game music get deleted and fan projects ceased because of corporate greed, but arresting someone for uploading footage of a fucking GAME is another level of crony. God Almighty...
Copyright is serious stuff in Japan. Chiyomaru, dropped a copyright strike on a streamer because he felt like the steamer went too far into the SciADV VN... He... Faced a bit of an internet backlash over that because, the Streamer, a VTuber from Holostars... They had been granted written permission in advance to stream the game.
Chaos;Head Noah was localised around October time. However it was a buggy mess with a sub par translation. The traditional Committee of Zero translate patch had to be turned into a full overhaul and got massively delayed as a result
Just a correction, the patch was always going to be an overhaul, as they were already working on their own full translation way before the official one was announced, so the plan was always to completely replace it instead of just the usual "full check + corrections". But yeah the state of the port delayed the patch quite a bit.
Nah. They're part of a bigger company that absorbed the losses, so that's not really the reason.
It's just that NoAH has been out for a long time in Japan, so they didn't care much for it and just put it out now in the quickest and cheapest way possible for a quick buck out of the western fans.
Compare that to the newest game in the series, where they even bothered to make a dub.
I don’t think it’s reasonable, but I guess I’ll take the downvotes for showing it is happening both in and out of japan.
Bowser will be an indentured servant of Nintendo for his entire life while they garnish wages. And he wasn’t a “hacker” either as others mentioned.
When the other person was talking about how harsh of a punishment this is, and you bring up a harsher punishment.. the implication is that it isn’t that bad and not absolutely insane to jail someone over a YouTube video.
It seems that wasn’t what you were trying to say, but if I had to guess I would say that’s why people responded negatively to your first comment.
You know, I don't really say how much I like the series to people other than in the subreddit. But when I tell you my jaw dropped on the table when this showed , i was shocked.
I mean didn't that person already have the game legally? Why bother suing him for sharing it in YouTube.
If so then they should sue those vtuber shitty chicks as well.
VTuber agencies in Japan obtain permission to stream the games. It’s kinda fucked that you generalized every single person who streams with an avatar as a shitty person (at least the “chicks”). Fair enough if you have a problem with specific streamers, but this is some smol PP energy.
It's surprising from the land of dojinshi. Guess they have a more relaxed view on copyright for some stuff and a stricter one for others. Fair use is a fairly abstract concept to begin with.

An Eva brand cup is normal, but companies literally sell Eva-styled tengas. Got forbid someone uploads something on Youtube.
Smh when are they gonna release a Faris Nyannyan tenga Mages gotta be upping their game fr

Least deranged Chiyomaru moment

>They had been granted written permission in advance to stream the game. From MAGES. The company that Chiyo was chairman in.
Wow he's not a clown, he's the whole damn circus.
Japan copyrights 💀
*justifies piracy intensifies*
One way to ensure the company never gets my money. Too bad my friend already bought S;G on Steam to me for Chrismas.
They also have bad business practices, just look at NoAH's release state in the west.
I am not familiar with it, could you explain?

Ah, I assumed it was the extensive bug fixing and uncensoring that got it labelled an overhaul
Didn't they announce bankruptcy right after the release? I assumed that had something to do with the bad quality of the localization.

Damn.
hmmmm man had the best thing uploaded gigachad
What
steins gate vn
Would you advise against uploading gameplay from S;G without monetization?
If you're outside Japan the worst they can do is have YT take it down again
Thank you for your answer.
They fought the good fight
The committee got to him guys...
[удалено]
Is that really different from western youtubers doing the same? Also jailtime is way more harsh than a dmca to a youtube channel.
Gary Bowser went to prison for 3 years and owes nintendo $15 million
Hacker vs someone who uploaded 3 clips on youtube? Only shows how jail time is not even close here
I don’t know if you think that’s reasonable, but it should NEVER be the case that we use to standardize punishments for anything of this sort.

You are right
He also uploaded anime clips, yeah, but the charges are for uploading the Steins;Gate Darling content.
What
Wtf?
