Summary:
A government agency is planning to ban home DVD and Blu-ray copying. Also, the productions and programs to decrypt commercially produced discs would be prohibited. The agency is aiming at reducing the number of piracies that are routinely circulated on the Internet these days. However, the revised Copyright Law will not stipulate penalties for acting of illegally copying itself. A bill to revise the law will likely be submitted in next year’s regular Diet session.
Opinion:
This plan to revise the existing Copyright Law must be done. These days, a lot of piracies are available on the Internet and we can easily watch or download it. Making a piracy itself is illegal act. Therefore, we can be a criminal by getting it on the Internet even if we do not know that it is an illegal production. It is easy to expect that this trouble can be happen. Some would say they are sorry that they would lose sources to get and watch movies, but revising the law would be an effective solution for the problem.
