	Japanese copyright law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japanese copyright laws consist of two parts: "Author's Rights", and "Neighboring Rights", and as such, "copyright" is a convenient collective term rather than a single concept in Japan.
		Japanese copyright law protects all works "in which thoughts or sentiments are expressed in a creative way, and which falls within the literary, scientific, artistic or musical domain".
		In 1997, the Japanese Copyright Law was updated to expand the coverage of the author's "right of communication to the public" (established in 1986 under the name of Rights of Broadcasting and Wire Transmission) to the stage of making it transmittable.

	Chapter 8: Intellectual Property
		Copyright in the United States comprises a bundle of five rights, which may be further subdivided or separately licensed by their owner: reproduction, preparation of derivative works, distribution, performance and display.
		Japanese moral rights (jinkakuken) are also more extensive, including the right to edit subsequent publications of a work, terminate a right of publication under certain conditions and prevent use of a work in conflict with the author's beliefs.
		In this chapter, the usual copyright distinction is made between the author of a work (its creator) and an owner of the copyright in a work (a party having the ability to enforce certain rights).

	Copyright for Beginners
		The protection and people's awareness of copyright are said to reflect the degree of cultural development of the country, and therefore, copyright systems should be understood by a wide range of people.
		Some countries with a lower level of copyright protection require "fixation" in a tangible medium to be protected as a work, however, under the Japanese Copyright Law it is not required, and therefore, "live" works are also protected automatically, which is extremely important in the broadband age.
		Based on the relevant provisions in the Copyright Law, performers and phonogram producers are granted the remuneration right to receive fees when commercial phonograms (fixing their performances or phonograms) are directly used in broadcasting or wire diffusion.

	E Law: Reverse Engineering in Japan and the Global Trend Towards Interoperability
		Since copyright is about the protection of an expression of an idea as opposed to the idea itself, and decompilation is necessary to gain access to these non-protected elements in the programme, it can be argued that the copying of the object code is done as a "special case".
		This Japanese decision can be seen as affirming that if one uses decompiling to create a program or published work that is substantially similar in expression to the original program, the use of decompiling does not change the fact that copyright in the program is infringed.
		The implementation of this law should be in the form of a specific fair use exception, thus reconciling decompiling with copyright doctrine.

		The Japanese Court cannot enlarge the scope of the “quotation” provision to allow for the existence of parody, since parody is something different from “quotation” set forth in Article 32.

	The Challenge of P2P - IS296A-2 » japanese copyright law civil remedies - efficient breach? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		According to Mehra’s article, there seem to a number of large differences between copyright law in Japan and in the United States, not least among these the economics of civil damages.
		The statutory damage structure of US copyright law is very hostile to breaches; it is hard to imagine how one could be efficient.
		It is almost as though at some level, the court’s only problem with File Rogue was that the owners of the copyrighted works were not getting paid; it seems there was much less concern than in US law regarding right to control distribution.
