Taiwan court allowed pirates to legally distribute adult films
The specifics of Eastern perception gave rise to a curious precedent related to the same specific topic of media content - the Taiwan court refused to Japanese porn producers to respect the rights to their products, because it ... is “not creative” and is the object of the interests of “second-class” people.
It so happened that the anger of producers of Japanese films for adults since 1999 was directed mainly to Taiwan, where many websites sold porn movies without permission, and television channels (it must be assumed that cable) broadcast them to everyone with the same ease wanting. As a result, the titanic work of Japanese producers — more than 20,000 adult films per year — was lost in vain, even in a densely populated area like China.
The essence of the request to the Taiwanese authorities was standard for such investigations. The hired personnel, actors and actresses, the equipment and materials used, the work of directors and producers is the basis for the inclusion of porn movies in the list of copyright protection objects and the punishment of pirates.
The official request to the authorities gave their results, and with a specific wording, they say, free access to films for adults harms the health of Taiwanese adolescents. This had effect, and arrests unlike active pirates were made. However, this week everything has changed - not in favor of the Japanese porn tycoons.

The Taipei District Court made an unexpected decision that there would be no action to prosecute Taiwanese companies violating the rights of Japanese producers of porn movies. The motivation was the following: adult films differ from ordinary media content in that they are “not creative enough”, second-class people watch them, and therefore there is no reason to pursue local distributors for such a specific product. In addition, as the prosecutor's investigation showed, websites delicately warn people, and there is no reason for concern.
