The largest ISP (both fixed and cellular) in Japan, the NTT Group, announced that they are going to follow government advise and block piracy sites, as an emergency measure before a law can be legislated.
According to Japanese government, despite there are no legal ground for the government to mandate ISPs block websites, they are now merely suggesting ISPs work together with publishers on the issue and is not a government instruction so the government is not acting illegally.
Currently Japanese ISP are blocking sites about pornography of underaged subject after related legislation in 2012 that stated it is an emergency. Declaring it as a measure to prevent emergency is a way to bypass numerous laws like laws that safeguard the secretary of communication and facilitate blocking of site according to communication content. Japanese government is going to use this as an example on piracy content, and advocate groups justify the move by saying that piracy have threatened creators' right to be alive. The blocking system that are going to be use against these sites will be changing the ISP's domain name server and direct users to a warning page if they try to access affected sites
*And also because it is not mandated by government and constitution is something that only applies against government so they think it's okay

>merchants think people will still consume their trash media if it isn't free
Adrian Cox
It's Japan we are talking about, even those disagree with the move would not dispute the necessity of paying for cultural product
Grayson Morgan
Japan are paycucks and get probably jewed the most in the world. Jews fear the samurai my ass.

>changing the ISP's domain name server and direct users to a warning page if they try to access affected sites So, in other words, it's literally nothing.
Carter Lopez
We are talking about Japanese people that don't even know how to type Japanese into computer via keyboard instead of touch screen
Noah Butler
It means fuckall to the rest of the world. > vpn to literally fucking anywhere Tarō Asō said he wants Japan to be a place that rich jews would like to live.
Japan is always like this, even back in WWII they accepted some Jewish people from Europe and settled them
Luis Foster
meh, they've always been strict about Piracy.
Carson Diaz
Didn't thought they would risk defying the constitution for this

>Currently Japanese ISP are blocking sites about pornography of underaged subject after related legislation in 2012 So the country that produces an overwhelming amount of Lolicon games and comic is now blocking them?
Jaxon Morales
drawings != real people
Juan Cook
Based Japanese.
Aiden Peterson
Japan is dead and finished.
Josiah Ortiz
I feel sorry for them. t. Russki.
Ryder Morgan
Isnt your country going the same route?
James Brown
They do indeed, that is why I've moved from there.
Ryder Richardson
>>merchants think people will still consume their trash media if it isn't free Why would Merchants care?
Mason Rodriguez
Why every fucking country does some shit to internet? China, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakstan, South Korea, Great Britain, now Japs.
Daniel Gray
how much you want to bet it's just removing the sites from ISP-run DNS servers? That's the way most ISPs do this sort of thing because it's quick and simple. Anyone who knows anything about computers can get around it in ten seconds, but they don't really care because a.) most people don't know anything, b.) the people who do could get around much more complicated blocking measures anyway, c.) the purpose isn't to actually block the content but get the lawyers and politicians off your back by showing that you're doing something.
Leo Myers
The same people were saying in Russia ("oh, put google DNS, oh use proxy, oh use vpn") and now what? Were are fucking banning Telegram and non-pro-government news sites. Don't listen to then, just give government to suck. Government is designed to help people, not to make their life harder.
Ethan Hernandez
And VPNs and proxies... And it is not a DNS, it is banned by IP
Justin Davis
isn't this all just lip service? can't you still get around it by simply switching to a third party dns server?
Joseph Flores
They can ban by IP. Don't use proxy, make government remove those restrictions.
Connor Barnes
piracy in japan is close to zero anyways so whats the point of doing such a move?
Dylan Phillips
>piracy in japan is close to zero Kek. Hell no.
Gavin Gomez
the fact that the nodes of perfect dark are constantly declining says quite a lot
