@Meemoo >The place is a fucking shithole because of their bullshit copyright laws
It seems that Japan is just a testing ground and it's desired that such repressive laws will come in force into your country eventually.

As far as I can tell, the main thing that slows down the degeneration of copyright law in the USA (which gets exported to most other countries) is the GPL family of licenses - Disney, the RIAA etc going too far would result in blowback against their proprietary software business partners, as more proprietary software would then have to be released as free software, considering how almost all nontrivial software relies on GNU software, which is typically licensed under the GPLv2 or the GPLv3.
