My personal recommendation of what I list below is A Day Before us. While I typically dislike shorts, it works very well with the format, and episode after episode gave me butterflies just watching it. It's extremely sweet and cute, though as far as comedy is more "cute funny romancey stuff". I'm sure you've seen/heard of most of what I have below, but just filling gaps in case you haven't.
Yeonae Haru Jeon / A Day Before Us - anidb - MAL - AniList - Personal Rating: 10/10
Very heavy on cute romance. A series of shorts following soon-to-be-lovers as they come to realize what they have between each other. Streaming on Youtube.
Otaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii / Love is Hard for Otaku - anidb - MAL - AniList - Personal rating: 7.6/10
Primarily comedy. An otaku tries to keep her otaku and fujoshi hobbies a secret at her new workplace, but her past catches up with her when she reunites with an old friend who shares her interests, and they discover more coworkers with similar passions.
Kimi ni Todoke / From Me to You - anidb - MAL - AniList - Personal rating: 9.2/10
Primarily romance. Kuronuma Sawako, misunderstood because of her ghostly appearance, hopes to make friends and find romance when the popular Kazehaya Shouta starts talking to her.
A bit more drama, good comedy, and cute romance. Hori and Miyamura, both hiding secret lives, cross paths and unveil their true selves, leading to the possibility of something new and unexpected.
Japanese copyright law protects all works "in which thoughts or sentiments are expressed in a creative way, and which falls within the literary, scientific, artistic or musical domain." The laws automatically provide the following rights, without the need for formal declaration or registration.^[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_Japan]
Since the 90s[1999 for Japan specifically], Copyright in the USA and all trade partners they have leverage over[This is a general statement. Please research particular locales for specific situations per country], copyright has been automatically applied to all works without the need for registration. A creator can voluntarily put their work into the public domain, but this is an extra step they must do themselves. As a company, there's little reason to actually do this and give up your ability to protect your works and brands. Especially as a publicly traded company, you may even be putting yourself at risk for lawsuits by not profit-seeking as much as you can.
"is there anything from Japan that I don’t have to feel guilty about sharing with my friends and family (but mostly friends)?"
If you're concerned about observing copyright law, then practically the answer is no. Literally, the answer is that any cinematographic work before 1954 in Japan is in the public domain. The highest rated anime from that time period would be Manga Futatsu no Sekai (Two Cartoon Worlds) which scores a 5.38 out of 10 on anidb.
A court case in 2007 ruled that works released before and in 1970 are protected by copyright until 38 years after the creator's death. Works beyond that are protected for 70 years after the author's death, or 70 years if they're not made under the name of a single author to the work.
TL;DR copyright is on almost anything you'd want to share from Japan until it's 70 years old. We'll see the Astro Boy anime hit the public domain in the year 2033.
I beat Kingdom Hearts 1 last week, so this week I'm doing Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories! I think I'm about halfway through now, just finishing floor 12 I think, but the battle's been rough on me to say the least. I think I'm gonna need to grind up some cards and levels today to get past it.
According to UNICEF, the EU has 80 million kids under the age of 18, many of whom will be under 13.
Even if we were to say it was somehow a 50:50 split, that leasts 40 million kids who are potentially to be a part of this data set.
Not all of whom use tiktok of course, but in the absence of data either way, let's assume they all are.
Is the data of 40 million people worth 345 million EUR?
Legitimately, what part of that was deceptive? They outright stated that those specialized widgets you can't disable. Your post here is far more misleading in comparison.
Unity: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! YOU DON'T KNOW THE FULL STORY
Devs: You're charging us based on how many times a game gets installed and reinstalled, or opened in streaming services?
Unity: Oh so you do have the full story. What's wrong with that?
Plainly, whoever's at the head of this doesn't understand developers or the industry, and is likely refusing to listen to their subordinates.
Yup, no information on how they actually get that information. The only assumption I can make is that it's some sort of telemetry in the installer or the engine
