Anyone else suddenly struck by an urge to make let’s plays of stein’s gate in their less draconian copyright law home region?

while i think that two years of prison for this is completely ridiculous, a “let’s play” video of a visual novel, it’s essentially the same of “playing” a visual novel

Yes, but for those who don’t watch anime or play anime games, it can be great to get summaries so you have context for some conversations. Like, if a friend of mine watches a TV show or plays a game when I don’t, if I have no interest in watching or playing, I have no context. Maybe I want to support my friends interest without putting in the same hours so it’s nice to be able to get a summary or just the important parts so I know what my friend is talking about and can at least converse with them on the basics. (Though I do believe such videos should have giant spoiler warnings)

Japan is very bad in terms of copyrighted stuff. If that person lives overseas this would never have happened.

At this point, aren’t the Japanese stifling any discussion about copyrighted content? This has to be stupid, yes?
