À Tours, des habitants ont organisé une chaîne humaine de 200 personnes pour témoigner leur solidarité aux…boutiques. Oui, oui. Ils nous ont fait un « soutien aux familles des vitrines » sauf que ce n’était pas du tout sarcastique. Les vitres > nos vies.

Perhaps because Japanese people understand a concept that seems surprisingly difficult for you: wanting something doesn't automatically give you the right to take it without permission.
You raise a legitimate problem. Regional restrictions can make legally accessing certain works impossible. But then you offer three explanations for why Japanese people defend copyright: corporate loyalty, ignorance about piracy, or never having experienced the inconvenience themselves.
Fascinating. Apparently, the possibility that someone fully understands your frustration and still respects a creator's rights is simply beyond your imagination.
And let's appreciate the irony. You want Japanese creators to produce the entertainment you love, but when their work isn't available on your preferred terms, respecting their intellectual property suddenly becomes a uniquely Japanese character flaw.
You complain that Japanese people don't understand your situation, while demonstrating a remarkable inability to understand that Japanese creators have rights independent of your desires.
The world doesn't owe you unrestricted access to every piece of entertainment ever created.
And perhaps the reason you find that so difficult to understand isn't that Japanese people lack experience with piracy. It's that you've mistaken your inconvenience for an injustice and your personal desires for universal rights.
Wir haben genau zwei Möglichkeiten:
1. Wir schieben millionenfach ab und werden als rassistisch beschimpft
2. Wir lassen uns unsere Rathäuser abfackeln und unser Land verwüsten und werden immer noch als rassistisch beschimpft
