Detailed explanation of AV appearance damage prevention and remedy law How can you erase naked images?
September 25, 5:15
A law to deal with troubles caused by AV appearances that came into effect in June this year.
What does it mean to cancel a contract?
Is it possible to delete a video that was taken by an individual and posted on the Internet?
We asked the experts what the new law could do.
Sexual video AV spreading on the net, revenge, dad activities...
NPO "Pappusu" is active in Tokyo.
We support people who have been exposed to sexual images on the Internet.
One of his activities is to go to the downtown area late at night and talk to young people.
This flyer is for you to see.
"I want to fly, I want to quit, I want
to erase. "
It is a message that if you have such a problem, you will be consulted.
Recently, many young people choose "I want to erase".
It is said that there are many cases where videos shot by individuals have spread on the Internet.
Ms. Kazuna Kanajiri, representative of the NPO Pappusu:
"Things that have been filmed by Papa Katsu, etc., and those that have been filmed without the knowledge of those engaged in the sex industry are spread as adult videos on the Internet. This
includes child pornography, adult videos, and even revenge videos*.
"
Under the new law, even if it is a video shot by an individual, it is possible to strongly request the poster or provider to delete or stop distribution on legal grounds.
Since the law was enacted, he feels that videos disappear faster from the internet when he requests them to be deleted.
Kanajiri:
Until now, requests for deletion have been made on a “request” basis, but now that the law has been put in place, it can now be used as a fairly strong deterrent. Gay videos are also included. Because of this, I believe that male victims will also be saved.”
What the new law can do, forced or not, doesn't matter
The new law grants performers two broad rights.
1.
Appearance contracts can be terminated
2.
You can request to stop selling or distributing AV.
Not only if you were forced to appear even though you didn't like it, but also if you think it's okay to appear at that time and make a contract yourself.
You can also deal with privately shot videos that are published.
At first, it tended to be taken as a problem caused by being forced to perform.
However, even in cases where this is not the case, adverse effects can occur, such as unintentional leaks of images on the Internet or being known by people around them.
For this reason, the right to quit when you want to quit is guaranteed regardless of the circumstances of your appearance.
[Details]
1.
Appearance contracts can be
terminated AV appearance contracts have a period during which they can be canceled unconditionally.
Currently, it has been two years since the video was released, and in principle it will be one year after June 2025.
Even after this period, if there is a problem with the contract or the shooting method, you can cancel it for a certain period of time.
This applies to contracts entered into after June 23, when the law came into effect.
2.
If you terminate a contract that allows you to request suspension of AV sales or distribution, you can request
the production company to suspend sales or delete the video, and the party receiving the request must respond.
This right may be used even in performance contracts signed before the law was enacted.
Specifically, in cases where the dignity of sexuality is compromised by forcing filming or continuing to sell, and when the contract itself becomes invalid, sales, etc. will be suspended.
Also, if you can't contact the person who posted it on the internet, you can ask the provider to handle it.
Before the image spreads!
This case can be stopped
From here, we asked the person in charge of the Cabinet Office about how the law can be used based on specific cases.
If you are hesitant about shooting now.
You can stop there once.
Case1・"I have a good part-time job" I went there and it was an AV
.
When I'm lonely by myself, I've started asking for advice on SNS.
When I sent him "I don't have money", he replied "I have a good part-time job".
◎ What can be done by
law The law requires you to exchange a contract and explain in advance what kind of action you will be filming, so if you do not inform us in advance, you can cancel the contract.
Also, since you can't shoot until one month after signing the contract, you can cancel the contract even if you go to the site and sign an AV contract on the spot.
Case2: I was supposed to be an
idol, but when I applied to a talent agency because I wanted to become an idol, I was told to come to the audition right away.
She was told that she got a job, but the job was an AV shoot.
◎ What can be done by law
If you have a contract that hides the fact that you are an AV, you can cancel the contract.
Also, even if AV appearance is included in the management contract for general entertainment activities such as TV appearances, if you do not specify when and what you will appear on, the clause that imposes the obligation to appear on AV is invalid. .
Case 3: I wanted to refuse, but I couldn't
. When I accepted, I was told, "No way, you can't refuse from now on, right?"
◎ Interfering with the cancellation of a contract by giving a false explanation of what the law can do
, or by intimidating the performers with words or actions, and putting them in a situation where they do not know what to do, is prohibited and will be penalized. may be imposed.
In the event of such an illegal act, the contract can be canceled by requesting cancellation again.
What is AV appearance damage in the first place?
This issue came to the fore about six years ago.
The NPO "Human Rights Now" issued a report stating that victims were being forced to appear in pornographic videos one after another.
It mainly points out the problems between women who aim to become talents and idols and production companies.
Lawyer Kazuko Ito, vice chairman of the NPO Human Rights Now, who was involved in the production of the report,
said, "It's typical to have women appear in pornography as the first step to becoming active in the entertainment world. Young women with no social experience. And the power relationship between people in the industry.This
corresponds to forced appearances in a broad sense.However, it is no longer a problem whether it is forced or not.It depends on the judgment of the person who appears and the appearance. Being forced to make decisions without being sufficiently informed about the consequences, we need to see this as damage.”
In response to these indications, the AV industry set up a third-party organization, the AV Human Rights and Ethics Organization, five years ago, and is proceeding with countermeasures.
In order to prevent trouble, we have established voluntary rules such as thoroughly explaining the contract and avoiding appearances under the age of 20 in principle, and we are calling on production companies to comply with them.
The organization says, "We will continue to make improvements in the future. We will also firmly respond to new laws."
Even though it can be erased... the fear of digital tattoos
"Pappus" provides support for people who have been exposed to sexual images.
Although the law makes it easier to erase images, it is said that not everything can be erased.
If you don't know the contact information of the person who shot the video, you can't know which site it's posted on, and you can't request it to be deleted in the first place.
Kanajiri:
"It's hard to find a site that posted personal photos, and it's easy to download, so it can be posted again in unknown places and continue to spread. Digital tattoos are difficult to completely erase. So please be careful."
Please don't hold me alone
In May this year, at a press conference on the AV Appearance Damage Prevention and Relief Act, one of the supporters appealed.
“A woman who has appeared in an AV has blamed herself for making a contract. I want you to be.”
With these words, this interview began.
Through interviews with people who actually appeared and support groups, some of the people who appeared in AV have regrets and continue to suffer.
I learned that there are very few ways to get rid of that suffering.
Some people are critical of this law.
Some of the groups that have continued to support so far have expressed concerns that it may legalize sexual intercourse involving money.
Some people working in the AV industry have also complained that they have lost their job opportunities due to strict legal restrictions.
However, one thing is certain, if there are people who are suffering now because of their appearance, it is a law that they can rely on.
Don't hold it alone, don't give up, and try to consult.
There are people who think with me whether this law can't be used or whether there is another way to relieve suffering.
