blade-anime:

adacchin:

PLEASE READ THIS, EVEN JUST SKIMMING, AND PASS IT AROUND. Even if you don’t give a shit about how Negima ended, please read about this law!

A line that sticks out:

And the danger for #2 of course is all dojinshi and all 2nd hand creation will cease to exist, Kodansha did say clearly, that it is their goal with this law to go after places like PIXIV and Toranoana

PIXIV.

PIXIV.

WHAT  NO

GUYS LET’S STOP THIS.  THIS IS SIMILAR TO A JAPANESE SOPA.

Wow, whoa, everybody hold the fuck on here: “trying to impose a new law by creating “neighboring copyright”, for people who are not creator but has a hand in “helping” the creation of the work gets automatic right, meaning editors, researchers, printers, etc. or plain speaking, a power grab by the publishers to take right away from the author.”

WHAT THE FUCK?

OKAY WHAT IN THE SEVEN GATES OF HELL IS GOING ON JAPAN WHY ARE YOU SUDDENLY TRYING TO CRACK DOWN ON ARTISTIC FREEDOMS AAA

first that insanity about “saving children” by trying to get rid of anime/manga that could “corrupt” them and now this shit
