Can someone explain the cultural difference between Japan and the rest of the US around copyright law?

In the US, we have fair use laws. They basically don't. You can put McDonald's in your game because you're parodying it, or because it's part of the real world your work is based in.... They can't without expressed permission

It's more nuanced than that, but that's it in a nutshell

Great way to win patent war is making patent claim after their oppenent :)
