From JPC/peeproom and since I'm sure many of us want Kuu on TV again I thought I'd post it here

You can also vote for Ayu and Namie!

[happiholic★]

^Voted

[Gustavopc]

^ Also voted. Voted for mini on the second option hahaha <3

[Ayu_Love]

Voted! I chose TABOO as the track I'd love to hear. Knowing Japan they'll probably choose Ai No Uta though, LOL.

Also, does anybody know how to compress files to a smaller size using winrar, but when you download it and open it, the video inside has the same quality? I have a lot of Kuu lives I'd like to share which are in .ts format, so they usually over 200mb, which is the limit file sharing sites allow, so I am not sure how to send them. :/

[emi♡]

lol I chose Love Technique muahahahaha

um I forgot to vote for Ayu. OOPS.

[Ayu_Love]

I'm not sure where this is from, but a Koda fanblog from Tumblr posted this message which I assume has been posted by Kuu herself:

ご注意下さい - Please note that
違法にアップロードされたと知りながら、音楽や映像をダウンロードすることは法律違反です。
その中でもCD、DVD、ブルーレイまたはインターネット配信で販売されていると知りながら、音楽や映像を ダウンロードすることは刑事罰の対象となります。
2012年10月1日から、法律により2年以下の懲役もしくは200万円以下の罰金またはその両方が科せら れます。

I am against the law that knowingly been uploaded illegally download music and video.
Be subject to criminal penalties that knowingly sells CD, DVD, Blu-ray or Internet delivery Among them, download music and video.
From October 1, 2012, both of which imposed a fine of not more than 200 million yen or imprisonment of two years or by law.

/Koda Kumi

Google translate makes it a bit hard to understand, but I think she is saying that a new law is being passed on October 1st (In Japan?) that when someone is caught sharing CD, DVD's or Blu-rays through the internet or downloading them, they are either fined 200 million yen or sent to jail for 2 years. And she is saying she is against that new law, or something like that?

Has anyone else seen this? If anyone can translate the message better that would be great.

[emi♡]

^Ayu had one up on her site too~

Some new law in Japan is being passed against pirating.

[Minttulatte]

200 million yen? Nobody has that much money, unless you're rich of course. -.-

[NintendoHTF1242]

Does that law truly apply to only people in Japan, or does that apply to people living outside of Japan too? I assumed it didn't really matter since we have no way to access Japanese CD's and they're far too expensive to purchase on the spot just to listen to the music.

[Ayu_Love]

^I'm not sure if it affects people living outside Japan downloading Japanese music, because if you don't live in Japan they cannot arrest you, but could get the police in your own country to, maybe? But then you would be charged with the copyright law of your country, not Japan's new law, I assume, since your not a Japanese citizen? I am not really sure.

Here's an article about it: http://www.tonedeaf.com.au/news/inte...iracy-laws.htm

Tbh, with all these anti piracy laws and **** happening (Like the owner of Megaupload being jailed for 50 years), I am starting to get nervous about uploading and sharing files on the internet now. :/ People seem to be getting harsher sentences now just for uploading or downloading a few songs than actual criminals are getting.

I have noticed that the file sharing sites recently have become very strict, and things are taken down so quickly now, which is why if I want to download something like Kuu's new lives for example, I make sure I save them on my computer before they are taken down lol.

[NintendoHTF1242]

I see. It's all confusing to me lol. I just don't have the money to throw for Japanese music, it's incredibly expensive. YouTube here I come.

[happiholic★]

Ugh, don't even get me started on how stupid the entertainment industry is being. Are they really going to sue Tanaka Keiko for downloading one Miliyah Kato song for 200 million yen?

Yeah me too, haha. I pretty much just get the HK releases of Kuu's albums when I can.

Japan really are just trying to cut off all possible exposure for their artists overseas it seems. Shooting yourself in the foot is one thing, but it's like they are content on blowing their whole leg off. XD

[happiholic★]

^Do we really get our downloads from the Japanese fans? I was always under the impression that it was like on US fan who would buy it and then rip the CD for everyone else.

[happiholic★]

^Good point. It could be Avex. Though, they take down all videos that even remotely feature any of their singers.
