This is a strange move from a country that is usually the most overprotective when it comes to copyright. Though I guess if you view it from a "pro-business" view then it might make sense. Sucks a ton for artists though.
Yeah, in retrospect it does seem on brand for Japan. Just feels weird after being used to them cracking down on anything even mildly copyright infringing.
They're trying desperately to grow, so it makes total sense.
They also have a dwindling population
They need to grow their economies.
I think we've come to the realization that AI will take a lot of jobs. That's the unfortunate truth.
