Japanese panel suggests royalty system for video uploads

In Japan, it's especially hard to negotiate approval to upload content, because it is also partially owned by the actors. So a government panel in Japan is suggesting that rather than prevent video uploads of content, it simply be regulated and royalties taken.

Personally, I'm not a fan of yet more regulation, nor putting much of anything in the hands of a government organization. But the general idea of a royalty system has even been proposed by Mark Cuban for the United States. For a very nominal fee and wide participation, content owners could increase their revenues while giving the public widespread access to all the content they want.

So maybe the idea is to take down video uploaders like the government took down Al Capone - not on traditional criminal charges, but on income tax charges.
