First, it was the legal threats. Then it was the summoning of both BayTSP former hacker and three-Japanese-distributors-plus-one-copyright-holders, now they make use of a certain fansub’s works?
Seriously, I’m very, very lethargic with all the damn talk about how Japan is proposing to tighten their copyright laws, the whole IP concept and various instances of idiocy related to this saga.
At least TPB is doing a good job suing MediaDefender and other affiliated organisations. Unfortunately, the Internet’s reach is only as far as the computer.
So what’s left?
I think the whole saga is one big mess. The whole copyright scene is, to put it crudely, f*cked up. So many grey areas, so many things, it kinds of reminds me of how cattle traders “set prices on future calves very highly because of the genetic mix, regardless of whether the calves actually made it to adulthood.” Or, in other words, playing the stock market.
Oh, I’m going to sleep already.
