In order to tighten regulations on "pirated sites", the target of illegal download will be expanded to all copyrighted works such as comics and books from January next year, not only music and video.
In line with this, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has put together measures to prevent Internet users from accessing pirated sites.
Among them, it is said that security companies and mobile phone companies will be encouraged to display a warning screen when accessing the pirated site with a personal computer or smartphone.
In addition, in order to reduce illegal files, we are aiming to enact a related bill in the ordinary session of the Diet next year by creating a new court procedure that can promptly disclose information about the person who uploaded it.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has decided to cooperate with overseas authorities as there are many cases where foreigners are involved in the establishment of pirated websites.
