The Agency of Cultural Affairs is proposing the new revisions to the currently open session of the Japanese Diet.
Japan’s Agency of Cultural Affairs already announced its plans to propose laws and penal sentences against downloading manga, magazines, novels, essays, and photographs.
The Agency of Cultural Affairs will continue to narrow down the requirements.
Current laws only punish the consumer of pirated media in cases where the media in question is music or video, so the proposed revisions would expand the current laws.
