It is a copyright organization that hundreds of illegal contents "spoiler sites" and "fast movies" on the Internet that summarize the synopsis of manga and movies have been confirmed even after the police have been caught one after another since last year. I found out by interviewing such people.

The creators who have the copyright are promoting the identification of the operator and requesting deletion, and are urging general users not to browse.

Regarding the spoiler site that copies the lines of the manga in its entirety, the Fukuoka Prefectural Police sent documents in February and the Metropolitan Police Department sent documents to the operators in their 30s and 40s on suspicion of violating the copyright law in June.



In addition, three people who posted an illegal video "Fast Movie" that summarized the movie in about 10 minutes were arrested by the Miyagi Prefectural Police in June last year and convicted, and the outline and ending of the manga and movie can be summarized in a short time. There have been a series of arrests of illegal content to convey over the past year.



It is expected that the detection will have a deterrent effect, but according to CODA = Content Overseas Distribution Association, although the number of fast movies decreased to about 9% last year, about 180 are still posted on YouTube, and a major publisher " According to a survey by Shogakukan, an increase in spoiler sites has been confirmed to be more than 300 in recent years.



Movie companies and publishers are strengthening measures such as identifying the operator and requesting deletion or consulting with the police, and are calling for users not to use it as it will lead to illegal operator's advertising revenue when viewed by users. ..

Person concerned "I thought that it was not a copyright infringement"

Since last year, a person involved in the spoiler site and fast movie that deleted the content after receiving a warning from the creator side said in an interview with NHK that "the number of accesses has increased and I have earned income, but I am reflecting on it." ..



Of these, women in their 40s started a spoiler site that wrote manga lines and scenes in June last year in order to cover their children's educational expenses.



She said she was a woman, she said, "I felt like I was introducing her to help her favorite comics. She thought she wasn't a piracy." I was there.



She said she said, "I earned a few thousand to a little less than 100,000 yen a month. She regrets that she's done something really shallow now."



Hiroki Wada, Editor-in-Chief of the Manga One editorial department at Shogakukan, who conducted a survey of spoiler sites, said, "The author spends hours and tens of hours just writing one page of a manga, and the pain of its birth produces a wonderful work. Manga as a job is made up because readers find it interesting and pay for it. If the number of people who see spoiler sites and pay money to watch comics decreases, illegal sites will grab the income earned by writers. I want many people to understand it. "



Also, a man in his thirties who posted a fast movie started distributing videos on YouTube two years before the restaurant that was run by Korona-ka went out of business.



Compared to the original video of games and pachinko, the number of views of fast movies has increased more than 100 times, and the income for half a year was about 1.5 million yen.



The man said, "I'm very sorry for the copyright holders now," saying that he stopped posting fast movies after being warned by a movie company.

Expert "Situation of'consuming'work"

Toyoshi Inada, a writer who is familiar with the content business, commented on the background of the disappearance of spoiler sites and fast movies. In particular, some young people think that it is enough to understand the synopsis and ending, and instead of slowly "appreciating" the work, they are "consuming" to keep up with the topic. It is. "



On top of that, "The creators are also taking measures such as incorporating a function that allows them to watch at double speed for users who want to know the contents quickly. I think we are entering an era where it is required to respond to new needs." I'm talking.
