Cartoonist Ken Akamatsu stressed that not only movie commentaries, but also animation commentaries are illegal

A few days ago, the arrest of the first publisher of a "movie commentary" short video in Japan caused an uproar (reported by this site). The popular "Speed ​​Report Movie" that was once extremely popular on the Internet suffered a devastating blow. The executive director of the Japan Cartoonists Association and famous cartoonist Ken Akamatsu recently emphasized that not only movie commentary, but also animation commentary is equally illegal, and the outcome will be the same as the previous "Manga Village" incident.

· Akamatsu Ken is a Japanese manga artist. Born in Tokyo. Male. He established his ambition to create since high school, and later gradually developed into the comics industry. He won the Newcomer Award from the Japanese comic magazine publisher Kodansha with the short comic "Short Summer KIDS GAME" and officially became a manga artist. Since then, he has created many comics, among which "Pure Love Landlady and Beautiful Tenant" is a very popular work. Other works include "Computer Lover Dream", "Magic Teacher" and so on. Married, his wife is Japanese vocalist Akamatsu Yoshion.

As the executive director of the Japan Cartoonists Association, Ken Akamatsu said that although there has been no case of police arrest for splicing original images into anime videos, such behavior is tantamount to illegal behavior and a serious infringement of the original author's intellectual property rights. He warned that the outcome would be the same as the "Manga Village" incident that was severely investigated and dealt with before. The so-called "secondary creation" is not an excuse for breaking the law, nor is it a reason to comfort oneself that there is no infringement.
