Is it true that copyright does not exist overseas?

Is it true that copyright does not exist overseas?

Comments from overseas:

they're mad that people saw their ad? do they understand what an ad is?

thater exclusive trailer

do japshits really

You deserve everything that has ever happened to you.

oh wait i misread it
its a trailer only shown on a rerun of a 5 year old movie so you have to pay for a ticket for a movie youve already seen to see an advertisement

honestly you japs are insane when it comes to piracy
mutts really did a number on you

Nigga, I've downloaded and torrented fucktons of vidya, porno, textbooks, and Amerifilms. Why tf should Nipshit be any different?

NOOOOO, YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAWS WHEN IT COMES TO JAPANESE ANIMATED FILMS EVEN THO YOU'LL GUILTLESSLY PIRATE TEXTBOOKS PUBLISHED BY SPRINGER VERLAG

kek

oh no, someone filmed our AD

up to 10 years in prison for filming an AD

Seriously?

Here's the thing.
If you don't do a simultaneous theater release in major countries/theaters worldwide, people WILL watch it by other means. Expect copyright to be broken and the film to be leaked. Piracy is a service issue.

It's a good thing.
Japanese people in Japan watch Japanese movies, japanese tv shows, japanese cartoons and listen to japanese movies and most of them are oblivious to stuff not made in Japan because Japanese people respect the artist's rights to make money off of their art regardless of the quality and will go out of their way to pay them money.

In Poland nobody gives a shit about the artists bottom line so when you tune in to the radio in Poland 90% of it is american mass-produced garbage, when you turn on the tv its american mass produced tv shows, polish cartoons are not a thing and when you go to the movies it's all foreign stuff.

Japanese culture of consumerism is something that would benefit Poland.

they look at china and see how destructive bootlegging is to the entertainment industry

respect the artist's rights to make money

how is the artist going to make money on people buying used books/comics/games/movies? japs would skin you alive for pirating a manga that's been out of print for 30 years but are totally fine if you buy used one when new is still available
where's the logic in that?

I hope all kimetsu fans die in a fire
kimetsu fans are subhuman
kimetsu fans are trash

I watched the new marvel slop and I think it was recorded in Mexico. Usually it's Russia/India in my experience

buying used copies of physical media does not violate the artist's right to make money. This copy was already sold, the artist had already made a profit on it.

Are you retarded or something?

by the same logic, paying for a movie ticket, recording the movie and distributing that recording is fine because you paid for the ticket

no, that's literally not how it works

then there must be some other reason why reselling the product, at no additional benefit to the original creator, is sometimes morally justified and sometimes not. or you're wrong.

durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i dont know maybe because in one case there's only 1 copy and in the other case you make unauthorized copies without the copyright's owner approval?

Look how these shit flags desperately defending piracy, and this is the reason why they will have a single relevant company in the entertainment industry.

i don't need the original creator's permission to sell the copy

you don't need copyright owner's permission to sell the copy that you have purchased
you do need copyright owner's permission to make additonal copies for the purpose of distribution

you're trying to do mental gymnastics on it but you're really bad at it.

and yet either way i can turn a profit after consuming the material

so?

You being able to make profit has nothing to do with it. If you stumbled upon a rare copy of a rare book that you purchased for 10 dollars at a bookstore and sold it for 50 million dollars on ebay you were within your priviledges to make that sale. It's called copyright for a reason

i have the impression im talking to a jeet or and considering your flag I'm starting to think it's likely.

it's pretty fucked up that not one cent of that 50 million goes to the writer
if i want to support good work, i buy it as directly as possible. getting a used copy off ebay is basically saying "fuck you, you don't deserve any payment for this"

i share your sentiment but the distribution of art is a collaborative process and every party involved wants to make money out of it. Just so happens that the publishers and distributors take the lion's share of the profits.
You may find it immoral and you have the right to find it immoral but using this perceived immorality as justification to commit the immoral act of copyright violation is childish. You're not entitled to entertainment.
There are numerous artists distributing their work under a copyleft license and you're free to use those any time you want, including making a copy of them or even selling said copies at a profit

You may find it immoral and you have the right to find it immoral but using this perceived immorality as justification to commit the immoral act of copyright violation is childish. You're not entitled to entertainment.

i never said copying is justified. i just said it's similarly immoral as reselling used copies.

it isnt

and you have completely failed to justify that belief other than just pretending legal things = good and illegal things = bad

the concept of copyright, the copyright owner's rights and priviledges are entirely legal in origin, I don't understand your point and the arguments you're trying to make make no sense whatsoever.

You're trying to argue in bad faith just so you can hava gotcha moment in 3 hours.
Is it okay if I just tell you to fuck off?

so if a piece of media is not available anymore and the only way to acquire is through piracy then we should just allow it to become forgotten because it violates the artist's right to make money which he would never make anyway?

Piracy is a service problem, Nips know their media is in demand yet they consistently go out of their way to keep it domestic.

Can't blame pirates for filming Yify content when the Nips could have put it on a streaming service so everyone with intrawebs can watch it same time as the Nips do.

i can help you out little buddy

how is the artist going to make money on people buying used books/comics/games/movies? japs would skin you alive for pirating a manga that's been out of print for 30 years but are totally fine if you buy used one when new is still available

where's the logic in that?

this was the original question. why is it logical to be high and mighty over illegal copies when legal copies are similarly damaging to the original creator.
you haven't explained how this is morally different to buying a movie ticket, filming the screen and reselling the tape. your arguments are entirely legal. laws should have some justification. if it was illegal to wear underwear i would still do it because that law would be fucking stupid. similarly, it's legal to wait until my friend buys a book and borrow his copy, but that kind of fucks over the author.

When you buy a movie ticket, film the screen and resell the tape you're making a copy which is something only the copyright owner is authorized to do.
When you sell a book that you've read you're not making an additional copym you're selling a physical object whic you're the rightful owner of.

Why do you keep arguing in bad faith saaaaaaaaaaaar

only the copyright owner is authorized to do.

are you literally incapable of understanding that laws and morality are different things

Why do you keep injecting morality into a discussion about a legal concept?
Fuck off

reminder that defending piracy is a shibboleth of a poorfag
thats good, keep enemy foreigners out.

laws don't magically pop into existence. they describe things that already exist. there's no such thing as a legal concept with no real world basis, and "reselling media" is certainly not one of them. i don't think you're capable of having a discussion about whether a law should or should not exist.

And that's where you are wrong.
Copyright law is a direct result of technological progress that made copying works significantly easier and at a lesser cost than making the original work.
Copyright law came to existence precisely to combat "reselling media" as you have put it even though profitmaking is not the primary goal of copyright law, since a copyright owner is within his full right to make copying, distribution and resale of his work free and accessible to anyone.
