The first drafts of copyright law in Japan date from last year, which came into effect in 2020. Despite some allegations, the Japanese government has approved this law, which gives publishers such as Shueisha, Kodansha, Shogakukan and others much more powers. to remove anything related to their IPs.
In the past few hours, copyright law has had one of the first effects on Twitter. Shueisha, owner of everything related to Dragon Ball Z, actually removed a huge number of chirps from the social network Posts containing Dragon Ball Z material This includes GIFs, fan art, illustrations, manga pages, reactions, and short videos. Of course, the accounts that shared this material have been blocked, deleted, or warned depending on the number of reports received.
However, there is some comedy to all of this if you believe that among those accounts that have been partially banned and reported, there is Fenyo_n’s as well. In fact he is a Illustrator working with the Dragon Ball Z brand on an official levelafter doing the artwork for the mobile video games Dokkan Battle and Dragon Ball Legends. Since he himself is communicating in English in the tweet you can see below, he has received an account suspension and does not know if it will be removed. In this case, he says goodbye to the platform.
In short, stopping the piracy of manga and anime had unexpected and exaggerated effects in this regard, and this has also sparked a trend on Twitter with Shueisha as the protagonist.
My Twitter account was blocked once
I went back because I checked the copyright guidelines
I don’t know when it will be deleted.
If it is deleted, it will not be revived.
