Quoted By:
>Japanese YouTuber Shinobu Yoshida has been arrested and charged for uploading game clips and edited anime videos in Japan. He’s been sentenced to two years in prison and five years suspended sentence, as well as received a one million yen fine. This is the first time that the court found someone guilty of uploading gaming videos.
The video game videos that Yoshida got in trouble over are let’s play videos of Steins;Gate: My >Darling’s Embrace. These videos contained spoilers for the whole game, as well as the ending. He also posted edited videos of the anime Spy x Family. Yoshida uploaded these videos onto YouTube and monetized them between September 2019 and May 2022. According to Yoshida, his “motive” for making the videos was that they are his hobby and he wanted someone to watch his work.
>The copyright holders and the prosecution, however, claimed that Yoshida was negatively impacting their sales. Not only did he get money by streaming a copyrighted game, but he also took away potential sales. Because viewers already know what will happen, they might not want to actually purchase the game.
So this is why Cover is so autistic about perms.
