Private ripping is also illegal!? Some revised copyright law enforced

　From October 1, 2012, it was illegal downloaded and ripping that avoids DVDs and other DVDs is illegal.Many readers don't know what the hell changes and what they have to be aware of.Many readers may think that they have nothing to do with them.

　However, the revision of this copyright law is likely to have a major impact on the use of our Internet.What was bad, what was OK, and why did this happen?In this special feature, a lawyer Kensho Fukui answered four cases and themes.

(1) What about copies of disk media such as CDs and DVDs?(2) What is the impact on the use of the Internet, such as downloading music and video?(3) What happens to using the recorded TV program?(4) Why did this happen? And what are you concerned about in the future?

[1st] What about copies of disk media such as CDs and DVDs?

Q These laws will be amended from October 1st, but in the first place illegal download and ripping will infringe on what rights?

A This means that it infringes the "copying right" of the copyright holder and the "copyrighted authority" of the performers and the rights.

　Until now, illegal uploading that infringed on copyrights and the like was the subject of punishment, but it was legal before 2010 to download it for private purposes.However, if you download (recording / recording), knowing that it was illegally uploaded since January 2010, it was an illegal act of not being a punishment.Furthermore, this “illegal download punishment” is to apply punishment to paid works.

Q This time, many people are affected by the fact that Ripping DVD is illegal.For the purpose of preserving the original, is it impossible to watch disk copied to DVD-R etc. for everyday viewing?

A This copy is illegal due to the "DRM avoidance regulation" that is enforced with the download punishment.DRM is a technology for rights protection, such as copy guards.The copyright law calls it "avoidance of technical protection means", and unlocking and duplicating a copy guard like CCCD for a long time, even for private purposes, has long been a copyright infringement.In this revision, it was illegal to unlock the "encryption" access guard and replace it to limit viewing to a specific device like B-CAS.As a result, the private ripping of the DVD was also illegal.However, there is no criminal penalty here.

Q If you have a CD that does not have a copy guard or access guard, it will not be subject to DRM avoidance regulations.

A That's right.It is easy to misunderstand because it is confused with the punishment of illegal downloads, but it is legal if it is a pure ripping for private purposes that do not avoid such protection techniques.

Q: Until now, there have been cases where software to avoid DRM has been published online or sold, but is such an act illegal?

A This amendment has also been illegal under the copyright law, and criminal punishments are also illegal under the copyright law.Also, it is not illegal to obtain and purchase such software, but it is illegal when the DRM is released and private replication is used (no criminal penalty).

　If you decide to participate in the TPP, you may be illegal simply by canceling the DRM (DRM simple evasion regulations).In this case, I will explain the problems in detail in the fourth time.

Q Is this amendment extended to past actions?

A No (not retroactive).It is not illegal to keep the DRM in the past and have a copied DVD.However, be aware that if you provide it to others (send it to the public or exhibit at an online auction), you may be charged with another right of rights at that time.

　The 2nd, "What is the impact on the use of the Internet, such as downloading music and video?"
