Kinda ironic considering the business that 5pb and Nitroplus is in. They should've just asked for a cut!

Well, it was only a matter of times before the TMA geniuses screwed up. Guess they didn't modify the costumes enough.

Except that 5pb doesn't do any adult visual novels. I wonder what scenes in the movie violated copyrights with the series. |

I wonder if something similar to this happened to the US-based Catherine parody.

Keep in mind this is Japan. Their ideas and laws on fair use probably differ a bit. |

It only said portions were misappropriated copyright infringement...
I'm wondering what portions of the video copied...Was it content used from the anime or what? The logo? Dr Pepper? The original scripting of the anime/game? Since they haven't said in detail, it seems strange. They also have a Fate/STAY Night parody AV and that's been around for a long time. As far as "Fair Use" goes, Karisu has a point with CR laws, but I don't think the fair use was the issue. There's been TONS of AV parodies of plenty of anime out there, and if that was the case, I couldn't see doushinji surviving anymore. |

Doujinshi survives because it's all done by fans/amateurs. It's not corporate or commercial. A few hundred or maybe a thousand copies of a doujinshi made to sell at Comiket at a price so that the doujinshi author breaks even or perhaps makes a modest amount of money isn't a big deal to Japanese execs. However, if they were to publish such content at a much wider scale then it would get cracked down on really quick.

Correct. Japan doesn't have fair use at all. This is why Japanese wikis rarely have pictures at all. However, Japan usually doesn't enforce the laws at all, which is why doujinshi and things like all those MADs/anime videos on NicoNico can exist. |

NO, parodies are under fair use in the US, NOT JAPAN:
People, do not assume all the world follows US laws, please. |

this is probably part of why Layers;Gate got shut down:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZbnA2C9eso quality op reproduction. need hotter okarin though. and faris. there's no sarcasm in that, btw. edit: and after viewing some other side-by-sides, it's clearly going a little bit... beyond... "parody" it's scene by scene almost identical. for serious, darn they did a good job copying the show. |

Just one thought comes to mind: an anatomically correct Ruka-kun

Looking at clips on youtube, it was probably Dr. Pepper that filed the claim.
