@StayCalm_JP@Haradaikowosuru@tripper688@JoyMaximillian@bansi3049_sakil If i could change the law, i would have made it so that fan translation are treated as derivative works and make it legal to modify the translation from the product that was sold to us. But that's just wishful thinking. Getting funds for a company is just a wet dream for us.
@PLBS12345@MonsFar@molodoydozhd "People who use pirated content should subscribe to streaming service". I'll use an analogy to explain. How would you feel if there's only one store in the entirety of Japan, they only sell low quality products, and the cashier spits on you everytime they scan what you bought?
@PLBS12345@MonsFar@molodoydozhd I'm not as disgusting as you filthy liars at least. Japanese are the biggest piracy endorser, they can buy them legally but they won't because they are stingy. I don't need to be taught about morality by someone who also steals. At least look in the mirror before you type.
@Haradaikowosuru@tripper688@JoyMaximillian@bansi3049_sakil I'm talking about how Japanese has this unwritten rule "If you're gonna pirate something, you lie about doing it". It's baffling for us foreigners because you can easily buy them and you still do pirating. Foreigners do pirating because no one from Japan sell it to us legally.
The Japanese piracy argument just boils down to people defending corporations with their whole chest bc it makes them feel morally superior, “we suffer so you must suffer otherwise it’s unfair” syndrome, and npcs acting like they created the anime/video game with their bare hands
1. No and I don’t care to, it’s a company’s job to make their goods accessible. If you lock say a manga series behind only one bookstore chain in one city I will not travel there just to buy it.
2. Not how it works, piracy inherently carries risk of malware or poor products. A lot of piracy sites are infested with ads as well. Their only advantage is being free and available for those who know where to get it. They represent a tiny fraction of the potential consumer market, mostly loyal fans that will buy official releases, fans who would not exist without piracy. Need I remind you Steam and Crunchyroll exists and are successful bcs piracy DOES NOT eliminate demand.
3. This is the dumbest take of all. No one will arrest you for piracy lmfao. If a law is not enforced then it does not exist.
Японцы не пиратят - миф и ложь самих японцев. Стандартное их 建前 против 本音.

Заходим на любой торрент треккер, например nyaa, выбираем раздачу свыше 10к сидеров. Копируем magnet ссылку и вставляем в DHT просмотрщик, и вуаля, 90% айпишников японские.
@Fenrirstail@dimipan03_02@Its_Mr_Floyd That's just hypotheticals. Japan only open their anime-manga market with no restriction to Japan itself, and the industry is on a decline. It shows that japanese people are failing the anime-manga industry on their own without foreign interference.
Babe, as a writer, If I knew that someone translated my books to another language and a bunch of people pirates and became fans of it I would be so incredibly honored
It's insane to me that you guys are so against piracy but will suck on GenAI's dick all day long
@its_marbe@Hamzzahas@_TDA88 Lebih tidak manusiawi jika kamu puter narasi masalah ini menjadi hanya angka statistika. Nggak pantas lu ngomong begitu. Mau cowo atau cewe korbannya, sama² kasus yang harus diperhatikan secara merata.
@KMei297 Ngk heran. Mereka tumbuh dewasa dengan slogan "Trust-based society", tapi kalo pelanggan domestiknya aja nggak bisa dipercayai, bakal trust issue nggak sih? Mungkin mereka emang udh proyeksi data tapi akhirnya nggak bisa BEP. Ya nggak tau lah, cuman spekulasi aja.
Gw spekulasi perusahaan jepang ngk mau buka akses international karena takut rugi banyak sm bajakan domestik. Di negara sendiri yg aksesnya mudah dibajak, apalg kalau target pasarnya international? Perusahaan yg buka jalur akses ya akhirnya dari luar juga kyk muse asia contohnya.
I've seen a lot of posts like this lately and I honestly don't get it. Why are overseas buyers expected to be the proactive ones, instead of the side that wants the money?
Without an official release, many fans just pirate it, so their demand is already met. The one losing out is the seller, missing sales because there's no distribution channel. Anything extra fans do is goodwill, and goodwill doesn't count for much in economics.
Is this just how Japanese companies operate, or is something getting lost in translation?
@tripper688@JoyMaximillian@bansi3049_sakil This is so true! They sabotage their own artist and company, blaming it on the "filthy gaijins". Their issue with us isn't the piracy part, it's because we're honest about pirating unlike them, pirating behind their creator's back.
