should i lock all the Tomalicious entries just in case...?? we won't get in trouble, right??

[kate-firefly.livejournal.com]

so today i suddenly got a PM from someone. one of the people who helped re-upload Tomalicious videos a while back. she said all her toma videos on mega were deleted and she will delete her own livejournal soon and please remove her username from the post that listed all the re-uploaded video links. so i did do that for her.

but then the news about japan arresting that man for uploading variety shows to daily motion and them trying to stop anime and manga fans overseas from sharing stuff is kind of making me nervous. i know johnny's artists related videos are removed from youtube pretty fast. but has anyone heard of anyone getting in trouble for subbing and uploading johnny's artists related videos, that are overseas?? i don't think so, right? and i mean...they would probably have did it sooner if they wanted to. tomalicious has been around for a long time... since 2007!!

i still felt kinda nervous about it, so i have members-locked the entry about all the re-uploaded videos for tomalicious. unfortunately, tomalicious's posts are ALL public. lol. all these years!! why didn't they members-lock it???? i wish i could change all the posts to members-locked at once, but i would have to do it manually, each one. and there are 190 posts in all. -___-

do you think we have to worry about this at all, or am i just worrying too much? lol.

this is one of the the few times that i'm glad our fandom is pretty small and toma isn't super popular. haha. i mean... if johnny's go after overseas fans for uploading stuff, shouldn't they go after arashi fans first? lol... of course i hope they never will, though.

i mean, it's been this long and tomalicious never got any warnings or anything from them. i think we'll be ok... they just don't like it when people stream their stuff on youtube or dailymotion or something...i think...

Toma's fandom aren't super popular :( so we will be safe..haha Sound so sad for Toma. I wonder if Toma's actually more popular in Japan than oversea ?:D.
This is super scary when people got caught upload to streaming site.Japan's law is ridiculous, how the heck oversea fan got to know them. At least, in Canada, we still able to download stuff online. I hope that day when Canada band download never ever come.

i'm sure he's much more popular in japan than overseas. but he used to have more overseas fans. they just gradually went away after Maou... around 2009 was when toma started doing movies and so he wasn't in the news much and people lost interest.

yeah... sigh... japan is too strict about everything, really. lol.
