Copyright
Copyright system is supposed to be an incentive to promote a new creation and innovation. However, after the Internet appeared, it progresses in the direction to inhibit freedom of expression and a new creation and innovation, as a result of excessive protection of copyright. For example, in the revision of the Copyright Act of 2013, ripping the DVD to save to your computer has been prohibited. By this, we became not be able to take a backup data and and processing the data on your smartphone to watch a DVD. It gives a negative impact on the freedom of expression, such as to create a new work and to cite a work for criticism. The purpose of copyright is to contribute to the development of culture. Therefore, it is important to balance the use and protection of a copyrighted work. We act against excessive strengthening of copyright protection, such as; outlawing download, the extension of the copyright protection period, regulating circumvention of access control and prosecution of copyright infringement without a formal complaint from the rightsholder.
