NEWS: JASRAC Asks YouTube to Improve Anti-Piracy Measures

Why wait a year, if they did that the anime would pile up and all they have to do is stop when ever a show is licensed. It's because people still upload them even after licensing that causes problems.

Some solutions could end up taking away 'too much' from what YouTube 'is'.
Thats a question to ask: What makes YouTube so great?

It all comes down to making it hard/frustrating for Uploaders and Viewers of illegal content, without making it inconvenient for legitimate users.

YouTube removes all the stuff owned by the Japanese. Like it had been removing copyrighted material from other companies in the US and abroad. This will literally destroy YouTube since all that will be left are a bunch of retards and camwhores.

A couple of things.

1st: YouTube removes all the stuff owned by the Japanese. Like it had been removing copyrighted material from other companies in the US and abroad. This will literally destroy YouTube since all that will be left are a bunch of retards and camwhores.

You do realize that US companies have already started uploading their own content, right?

Isn't there someway for anime companies and the like to treat YT like a tv channel. Give them licenses to air the vid and then we'll pay you to ad money or something?

I don't know how that whole business thing works, but I'm sure that the people who run their movie trailers on youtube aren't doing it for free. Surely some anime companies can follow suit.

I heard that the Scary Movie 4 film only sold as much as it did because people were able to see the full 1:30 minute trailer on YT, when they wanted, and they could send it to friends who then saw it, and you could upload it to your myspace or xanga (if you're 30), and so on and so on.

And what better way to check the ratings of your anime? There's a view count right at the bottom of the vid and they can real-time check the popularity of the anime that is being viewed instead of dumb polls and such. Not only that, but the comments at the bottom can show immediate fan response (crucial to first episodes IMO).

It's easy enough to see if one video is garnering 70,000 views a day and then someone can go, hey! that vid is more popular than half of the cartoons/shows(?) we’re running. Let’s grab that and make a profit off of advertising.

But alas some execs are blind, deaf, and dumb.

Submitted for example.

Not to mention...

Well the only time I'll watch a fansub is when I feel like watching an episode of a show in my interest that isn't in the U.S. yet. I would also watch a dub in my interest if I miss an episode of something.

First off, the top link is just trailers. Big deal.
