One of the largest manga publishers in Japan, Shogakukan, has recently scored a significant advantage in its fight against several YouTube channels that reportedly infringe the manga titles under its organization. However, is requesting more than just taking down YouTube videos.
Shogakukan, as represented by its lawyer Hiroyuki Nakajima, filed a request for a DMCA subpoena before the United States District Court in California last May 24. Attached to it was a separate letter addressed to YouTube asking the Google-owned internet service to take action.
“We demand that you immediately disable access to the Infringing Work and cease any use, reproduction, and distribution of the Original Work,” the letter signed by Nakajima reads. “Specifically, we request that you remove or disable the Infringing Work from www.youtube.comand/or any of your system or services.” Shogakukan, founded in 1922, is the publisher of Shonen magazines that carry the weekly new chapters of very well-known manga series.
However, TorrentFreak raised some concerns with regards to the nature of the information that Shogakukan will have access to now that their request for a DMCA subpoena has been granted as of May 28. The report explains that this type of request does not require review from a court judge. In fact, the subpoena in question was granted by court clerk Susan Y. Soong.
The subpoena listed a long list of information that YouTube is now “commanded” to provide per the Japanese publisher’s request. That includes the infringers’ names, addresses, contact numbers, YouTube and Google AdSense account details along with other accounts linked to them. YouTube is also ordered to provide IP address logs, credit card numbers and other financial institution accounts related to the 12 infringed works identified by Shogakukan.
Four of the 12 videos named in the subpoena were titled reaction videos. These types of contents really have the potential to gather thousands of views among manga fans. The YouTuber usually posts some pages from the manga chapter being reviewed while they film themselves reading it and showing viewers what their reactions are per page.
