Why are japanese so autistic about copyright?

I'd usually say "Fuck Kadokawa" but I hate Cloudflare more so good on them.

i think this will go absolutely nowhere

They hate that westerners have completely far removed ideas of what media should cost.
Japanese people are ok with paying $40 for a CD or $60 for a single bluray with 2 episodes on it, westerners are more likely to spend that much for an entire discography or an entire multi-season series on bluray.

What does cloudflare have to do with pirate sites existing?

They're the defacto CDN for many scanlation archive sites like mangadex.
They could sue literally ANY cdn with the same justification, really.
I really hope this goes nowhere, being able to pirate japanese everything with ease has always been one of those constants in my life I can always look forward to in this cruel world, and now that's being slowly taken away.

>nips are huge consoomers
this is a vaccine for weebism

No way the courts actually go through with this. Even if they do, Google, Microsoft, Amazon will get it shut down.

weebs are huge consumers too, what do you mean

They're less autistic about it than kikes are.

It's strange.
In japan, you can make porn of other people's copyrighted characters including their names and even profit off it's sale but you can't mention brand names (incl. the show title) in that same work.

could you drop a list of CDNs to use other than cloudflare? I use them most for DDOS protection... It feels like you have to use cloudflare or get BTFO'd

the us navy should intervene japan again, they're getting pretty uppity these days if they think they can force me to pay for *BYTES* lmao at them

japan anti-piracy taskforce, please go

I could get by with eroge and LNs desu (I mostly buy these), but there's no way I would pay for 99% of the anime I've actually watched.

My nigga, japs still use fax machines, do you really expect them to understand how the internet works?
