Japanese AV company netted ¥1.4 billion in upload of uncensored porn

Japan police: Company netted ¥1.4 billion from illegal upload of uncensored porn | The Tokyo Reporter

It's somewhat often to see police in Japan arresting those selling uncensored, but it's usually shops and online stores run by people with very little technical knowledge.

This article seems to imply they made arrests right at the production source for the biggest elephant in the room when it comes to uncensored Japanese AV production (the content supplier for Dreamroom's Caribbeancom mega site). I think there's a possibly of this affecting potential future uncensored production and even licensing of it down the road.

I'm sorry you're subjected to that in your country

I'll take Japan's mosaic rules over the west any day.

So long as private parts are lightly obscured, you (almost) can film whatever you want.
The west? Just look at the AUP of any billing company and you'll see a huge list of no's.

is it true that the censorship is only required if you want to distribute/publish the videos in Japan? How do they shoot the non-censored stuff?

Oh cool you're happy with it and also bitching about people being arrested for it. You seem fucked in the head while spamming stolen video URL's on a forum you're new to. Fucked in the head AND tacky #ignorelist

Yes, if you want to sell/distribute within Japan, mosaic is needed. Where it gets interesting is that there are several mosaic-certifying organizations (apparently run by retired police officers if the rumors are true) that check to ensure mosaic is properly applied and that the titles do not violate any theme restrictions (which are *way* more lax than the rules are in the west). If you want to sell your titles on big sites and stores, you usually need to pay the few hundred USD (converted) for the certification seal. Of course this isn't required if you just want to sell independently on your own site or just on smaller sites and independent stores.

Uncensored stuff, as was slightly outlined in the article above, is still shot in Japan and then upload/mailed to another country for editing and whatnot. I wonder if the company in question was using a VPN and/or encrypted hard drives.

Shooting uncensored by itself isn't illegal. All porn starts out that way. Mosaic isn't auto-added at the time of recording.

What? I never was bitching about it. I just thought it was newsworthy. I also have no idea what you wrote in the second part of your post. Did you have a stroke?

"New" and an asshole.

Don't post stolen content URL's here it's against board rules.

Fuck you for being happy with censorship in adult. May you crash quickly and burn slowly asshole.

I like Japanese girls but that censorship

[The Porn Nerd]

All Japanese pussy is so hairy you might as well blur it out anyway. And the Japanese cocks? So tiny you can barely see them sliding in-and-out so blur away.

We watch Japanese porn to hear the women sound like they're being tortured and raped while having sex (with tiny penises they probably can't even feel).

That, and bukkake (Boo-cocky)!

Thanks for the reply. So as long as your website with content produced in Japan is accessible to Japanese customers you must censore that content to stay legal, correct?

Well, does that mean Caribbeancom has been illegal all the time? I tried to promote them years ago and their content was amazing, high-end stuff and uncensored - they gave me access to their members area. Simply the best Japanese porn I have seen to this date.

Hello,

From a Japanese perspective (ie Japan authorities), sites like Carribeancom are illegal, but from a US and EU-perspective, they're totally legal. There's only an issue if you're theoretically an affiliate promoting them from within Japan. I'm not sure if it's illegal for a person in Japan to just download uncensored movies, the legal issue is about their domestic distribution.

The OP is happy with censorship in Japan.

The OP is happy the Japanese content owners got busted for not being censored.
