Re: [tlug] [OT] Recommendations for papers or books about copyright/intellectual property laws and handling in japan?

Hello Liels,

I believe this is the site to look at: http://miau.jp/

The Copyright authorities (from computer network point of view) in Japan 
are:
Mr. Nobuhiro Nakayama (Layer and Prof. Tokyo Univ)
Mr. Shinto Teramoto (Layer)
Mr. Hideaki Shirata (Layer and Assoc Prof. of Hosei Univ)

Hideaki is also a founder of MIAU.jp, too. These 3 people's stand point 
is very close to Prof.Lessig in US, and the names of those people are 
well known among people in Japan, so you may want to know about them as 
a kind of background knowledge. And MIAU is reporting many problems of 
copyright law in Japan, so it is a good starting point.

Unfortunately, many of the articles are written in Japanese. Sometimes 
they are writing in English though, since they are very familiar with 
the history and the current situation of copyright laws of the world.

Hope this helps,
---Shin.
