YouTube Meets With Japanese Copyright Reps
Date: 2/6/2007
YouTube CEO Chad Hurley and Google CTO Steve Cen met with representatives of 23 Japanese copyright agencies in Tokyo on Tuesday, February 6th. Corporate lawyers were present as were members of the The Japanese Society of Rights of Authors and Composers (JASRAC) and The National Association of Commercial Broadcasters in Japan. Afterwards a large press conference was held, however, the Google and YouTube reps opted out of speaking at that event. YouTube has apparantly agreed to introducing a copyright warning message in Japanese on the site at this early stage. In addition, development of a new copyright management system will be undertaken in cooperation with Google. Regarding a request that users uploading content should register their home and name, YouTube told the group that might be difficult to implement and be effective. Satoyuki Uei of The National Association of Commercial Broadcasters in Japan described Hurley and Cen as gentlemen. The Japanese side seems to be not 100% pleased but has indicated there was no breakdown of negotiations from the meeting.
