Japanese companies have started going after YouTubers that use Japanese IP content in their videos with lawsuits that will force the accused to either come to Japan and fight it in court or admit them to guilty by either having them pay a fine and remove videos or geoblock from Japan (which will give Japan grounds to detain them at the border). It's funny when wannabe critics get hit with this, but this won't stop at YouTube. This shit can apply to Wikipedia or even various Wikis, torrent sites, DDLs, blogs, fan sites; hell, it's possible with enough precedent this shit could apply here on 4chan, some company could cry about a few memes and demand Hiro remove them. Us, /a/, /jp/, maybe even /bant/ and /int/ could be affected by this shit. This shit will result in long term damage.
