Japan's copyright law is very similar to the US, so I'm not sure what you're referring to.

You're replying to a pizza cutter.

All edge and no point.

That both are copyright monsters which should be ignored as much as possible until they die out.

Disney is even worse than Nintendo.

That's exactly what he's referring to lol

I just don't really understand the point they're trying to make. Japan is responding to OpenAI, which is a US company. They have the same copyright laws. None of the parties involved have any kind of edge over the other w.r.t. copyright law.
