CATDOLL: The Japanese government may ban secondary creations. Is this really the end of fan fiction?

Recently, the issue of the TPP (Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement) agreement has attracted much attention from Japanese netizens. This is mainly because the content of the agreement regarding restrictions on secondary creation has caused concerns among many Japanese 2D otakus. However, the Japanese government recently stated that it may ban secondary creation .

Currently, netizens are particularly concerned about "intellectual property" such as copyright and patent rights. The results of the TPP negotiations may lead to the extension of the copyright protection period and the implementation of "non-personal prosecution of copyright infringement (even if the author himself does not file a complaint, the secondary creator can still be sued by a third party)". Therefore, the Japanese government is also facing great pressure around this issue.

At a recent briefing, Cabinet Director Kazuhisa Shibuya of the TPP Government Response Headquarters admitted that there are currently many difficulties in adjusting the field of intellectual property. Cabinet Director Kazuhisa Shibuya first talked about the issue of copyright protection period. He said: "At the beginning, we thought that no country, including Japan, had to have a unified standard. However, the current trend has become that it needs to be unified to some extent."

When talking about the difficulties, Cabinet Counsellor Kazuhisa Shibuya emphasized: "The major issues have not been determined yet, and no agreement has been reached. Because we have been negotiating for a long time, we have already expressed our opinions. We also know what the other party's position is." When asked about the non-personal prosecution of copyright infringement, he also made a long statement: "Due to the non-personal prosecution of copyright infringement, secondary creation will also be banned, which will have an impact on anime culture. And we also recognize the serious consequences of this and respond accordingly. We hope to reach an agreement in a way that everyone can understand in the end."

Regarding this news, many Japanese netizens expressed their anger:

The author of the work himself shall notify the author of any infringement of the work.

The third party's report is the police's action.

In other words, even if the copyright owner does not file a complaint, as long as a third party reports it, the police will come immediately, right?

A cartoonist from Komichi

これでexpression of freedomをlimitationしてしまうとあっという间にゴミしか出なくなる

It's cool

There are many cartoonists who come from doujinshi exhibitions. In this case, the freedom of expression is completely restricted, and the adapted movies and TV series will be seriously affected.
