[Discussion] Nearly all anime is copyrighted. What gives? (sh.itjust.works)

Frankly, I'm kind of sick of it. Is it because non-copyrighted pieces of work are not sustainable for large publishing houses? Not to mention manga is too. It's not much of a problem when it comes to individuals, but companies which probably lobby for "eternal" copyright (I know Disney does but that's not Japanese).

In fact, is there anything from Japan that I don't have to feel guilty about sharing with my friends and family (but mostly friends)? Or do I literally have to wait until my death for some anime to enter the public domain?

Perhaps I was. I recently started noticing it more and more, and I know it's stupid but the same thing happened with registered trademarks

You also hold the copyright of your last comment, it's just part of the creative process. You can always make something public like with creative Commons.

It's not necessarily a bad thing. Just gives protection to people who create for their living.
