    I get what they are saying, but I do wish Japan and Japanese businesses would learn that Japanese IP law does not apply to anyone outside of Japan.

    Japan’s IP laws are much broader and the judgements more strictly favor big business, whereas believe it or not, other countries like the US have it figured out slightly better. At least in the US there is actually a chance for the legal system to work correctly and not favor big business. In Japan, its all but automatically won in favor of the business.
