YouTube responds to JASRAC
In response to the JASRAC letter sent on Dec 4th, YouTube have apparantly signalled a willingness to send a delegation to sit down with JASRAC members to discuss how best to resolve the issue. According to Mashable.com, this includes posting warning notices in Japanese warning users not to upload copyrighted material and banning users who persist in violating copyrights.
