Regardless of what you think of the censorship laws in Japan, or what you think of porn or the people who work in the industry, the fact of the matter is that she signed a contract with a company to do a job that stated that all her work would fall within the bounds of Japanese law. The company is now not only breaking that contract, but also putting her in the crossfire to fall afoul of the law, despite having done nothing wrong or illegal herself. This is a serious breach of labour practices and simple exploitation, plain and simple. Companies should not be let off the hook for this behaviour, but they do it because they know their employees are vulnerable and in no position to challenge them. She's right to fight them, and I hope she wins.

Seriously good take. On the surface, two big issues by themselves are the contract violation and the inherent violation of privacy that goes with it. Still ignoring the censorship laws, some porn is done with the eyes or the full face censored. And especially in those cases, you have options, whether black bar, white cloud, blur, or mosaic. Point being, if the actress agrees to one thing in the contract, but the studio releases a completely different thing, that breaks the contract. If it makes her more recognizable as a result, that's a further possible damage. But absolutely like you point out, this is additionally bad because the company makes them unwittingly complicit in something illegal. This would be the same as a company "withholding" part of your paycheck for taxes, and then continuing to "withhold" it in their accounts instead of paying it to the tax agency: damaging to you, violates the law, but does it in such a way that the government may come after you for it.

It's been in effect for six years, no one has gone to jail over misgendering someone - and I assure you, it is NOT for a lack of fear of doing so. You cannot be jailed for misgendering someone. You also can't be jailed for using racial or religious slurs. You could be jailed for using this to consistently harass and abuse an individual, but that goes for any protected class because harassment and abuse are illegal. And could someone go to jail for using the wrong pronoun? In the Criminal Code, which does not reference pronouns, Cossman says misusing pronouns alone would not constitute a criminal act. You would need to be serially harassing and abusing someone with it in order to go to jail for it. So if the sick fucks who protest outside of funerals are okay, I think the transphobes will be too unless they decide to break the actual law. This takes ten seconds of research. So like, I guess this is a warning to western countries that the education system is failing and we should be incredibly concerned about reading comprehension and the understanding of basic human rights.

@@matten_zero Oh sure its not because se plans to get her only fans of the ground no no its because the porn tapes she made are now available on the internet uncensored. You do know There's actually no explicit "you must censor porn" law. In japan The supposed requirement to censor Japanese porn emerged from precedent cases that bastardized Article 175 of Japan's criminal code: A person who distributes, sells or displays in public an obscene document, drawing or other objects shall be punished by imprisonment with work for not more than 2 years, a fine of not more than 2,500,000 yen or a petty fine. The same shall apply to a person who possesses the same for the purpose of sale. Well, that's pretty vague, huh? It basically says that it's illegal to sell or distribute obscene materials. What exactly is the definition of "obscenity?" Countless courts, countries, and societies have wrestled with this question over the course of human history. Is there some benchmark or guideline? I'm of the belief that obscenity--like beauty--rests in the eye of the beholder, making it a challenge to objectively regulate. Obscenity is such a subjective thing that it's impossible to regulate without concrete benchmarks and guidelines that at least reflect the general consensus of modern society. Instead, Japan relies solely on precedent cases to interpret this law. Apparently, the current interpretation is that the male penis and the female vagina are obscene. How depressing! I've always considered the human body a thing of sheer beauty. A law like this that's defined exclusively through precedent is a danger to society, as it swings based on the whims of the judge presiding that day. Porn censorship is in direct conflict with Japan's constitutional right to freedom of speech and expression. Article 21 of Japan's constitution states this: Freedom of assembly and association as well as speech, press and all other forms of expression are guaranteed. No censorship shall be maintained, nor shall the secrecy of any means of communication be violated. But whatever who cares about facts.

First, we have to see this as a labor dispute. The main issue was not the consequences of her actions but rather a contract violation. Uncensored jav is actually illegal. So, if there are uncensored versions of her work circulating the internet, she is also legally responsible. So, to remove her part from the fiasco, she is somehow compelled to sue the company. Not only that, if the contract said she would do it only if the final product is censored, then no such uncensored copy should exist in the first place. If leaks of an uncensored copy (even if the company was never aware of it) is found in the internet, the sole responsibility to protect the integrity of the work lies in the production not the talent because the former owns the product. Therefore, she has the right to sue the company for failing to comply with the provisions of the contract. Now, the company should pursue the leakers and the admins of websites that used their work without permission. After all, it's their copyright that had been breached. Thank you. Go Kaho. May your case serve as a protection for other girls!

She is not legally responsible for the leak. The video she made was legally released uncensored. She had no involvement in the leak, so she's not legally on the hook under Japanese law. And even though her work was released censored, of course there's an uncensored version. These things are shot without censorship, then censored in postproduction. The camera doesn't automatically add the pixellation, so every censored Japanese AV has an uncensored master or masters. Every AV actress knows this. Uncensored leaks aren't even uncommon. Its just one of those things that happens, like cut Disney movie footage leaking out to the internet. The company didn't release the uncensored footage themselves, so they didn't violate their contract with her.

In this context Kaho Shibuya is right to sue, since that damages her image within Japanese society beyond her status as a (former) porn actress. Some would say the solution is to just remove censorship all together, but that would only make things worse because of how Japanese society views explicit sex. The whole fake intercourse thing is pretty interesting for many reasons and from many perspectives. Thank you Nobita, for this well made and well thought content.

I think it was great that they are getting censored so I can just fantasize what really happen and not shy with my own genital. also, it helps having uncensored one because sometimes seeing the true genital shape make me hornier too. for me I just hope all these new laws will bring better to the industry and didn't make them disappear. if JAV gone then idk it will be like we just lost very big cultural stuff. like nowadays is more hardcore genre became rare and almost like disappear. it sad seeing we can't see video like that happen in past again because at the time the industry probably exploits many people to starring the AV.

There seems to be a lot of comments in this video that show people are getting overly focused on whether or not it is good to have 'decency laws' such as the ones governing the censoring of genitalia in Japanese porn and missing the main point of the lawsuit. The point is that the people featured in these videos were hired under to partake in them with certain set conditions stated such as the censorship that is a central feature of Japanese porn. With the videos being leaked without the censorship in place at a later time without the participants knowledge or any alteration of existing agreements this becomes a straightforward breach of contract issue alongside a possible loss of standing for those in said videos and a breach of privacy. There is also the point that the people in the videos are now unwitting participants in a breach of Japanese law which could well have ramifications depending on how thorough and and robust public prosecutors might decide to be. Remember Japanese law does not take the 'innocent until proven guilty' tract with people who are accused of something having a very uphill battle in order to clear their name of any suspicion.

At first I thought it was kind of ridiculous for her to make such a big deal out of having illegal leaks despite not having anything held against her on that. But watching more, it's apparent she's not against uncensorship, she's against flat out being lied to and having her contract breached. The reasons for censorship do make sense after her explanations on it being both safer for the actors/actresses and cheaper for the studios which I had never really thought about before. This also means she was essentially also paid much less to do censored but it was leaked as uncensored, which should have gotten her more money. It's not about the money for her, it's about a company taking advantage of its employees, which I think is something all of us can get behind.

Ultimately it’s about Japanese laws and the agency that allowed the uncensored raw footage to leak. In Japan, many if not all sales are done through physical releases. There are some that sell online copies but they are of the censored, legal kind. Those selling illegal uncensored versions are doing it, illegally…. which is what this is about. Somehow they got the raw footage and put it up for sale for extra money. And once it’s put on the internet, anyone anywhere will grab it, copy it and spread it. So She’s going after the release of the raw video and the agency that shot it originally letting it leak somehow. It’s really not that hard to understand. Don’t try to gymnastic your way around moral superiority through what you assume her intention is. The internet loves to do that and it creates more problems than what people are simply stating their intention to be.

Another great report, thanks! I think that Kaho has pretty much nailed every point. Clearly the production houses are responsible for the leaks, one way or another. If some videographer kept copies and leaked pre-production footage, it's STILL on the prod-house to have allowed that to happen through neglect. Perhaps it ends up being up to her (or all, collectively) whether or not she buries the companies in question, or whether they put up assets in escrow and pay some of it off into the future. If it doesn't hurt, then it doesn't stop. People's opinions about what the laws were at the time are inconsequential. When these films were shot, everyone knew what the expectations were, unless someone had the foresight to specify what the contingencies were should the legal landscape change in the future. Otherwise, shut up. This also happens to go for the actors in the movies and their desire to be forgotten -- too bad. That was the choice they made and they have to live with it, notwithstanding contemporary issues or subsequent legal changes. I have a problem with the complaint that actors will forever lose their livelihoods. They'll lose THIS career in THIS form, perhaps. If they INSIST on doing THIS exact job, then perhaps they'll need to do it outside of Japan in some other "Free Kimono Zone" locale. Let's face it, many WANT to do this for whatever reason, but legally they simply may not end up with the RIGHT. Perhaps wiping most of these companies out is the right thing to happen. The Japanese people should get to take a fresh look at how all of these pieces fit together and decide what this industry should look like going forward. There's clearly a substantial market for this material domestically and abroad, so it's a resource that the entire society needs to figure out how to allocate and manage. If Japanese want to kill this domestic industry, it's their choice. It already seems like the trend is AWAY from legally distributing this material outside of Japan (for whatever economically suicidal reason) based the fact that some of the legal online retailers are turning away foreign customers.

Is it [the problem] not obviously the fact that such material *was uploaded without their consent in the first place?* And if they already retired and want to hide their past, then how is censoring genitals going to have any effect at all? Even if they somehow could revoke something like that once they ok'ed it being distributed everywhere online, it is still going to have absolutely no effect as their face is still shown, and the context is still obviously clear to anyone watching. Do you recognize ppl by their genitals instead of their faces???

For all the comments from people with bad listening comprehension: - Uncensored porn is illegal - Kaho performed with that understanding - The company that had the originals, either on purpose of by incompetence, leaked the uncensored originals - Therefore they are involved in legal activity, and also in breach of contract - The reason there are "high" damages is because if there aren't, companies won't take their performers' privacy seriously, and this will happen again and again Personal observations: - If you don't respect sex work, just say so, don't be a coward and argue this is in any way her fault - Arguing that porn shouldn't be censored doesn't retroactively mean companies can distribute their old videos uncensored. That would still be a breach of contract - The "industry" cannot exist without these performers, so it's kinda weird to talk about companies like THEY are the industry, and the performers "just work there". They are both the industry - Japan very much has a culture of "don't make waves", and this always hurts the workers the most, while the companies get to keep going. - Kaho-san knows that if there aren't any consequences, this WILL happen to other people. Arguing that she shouldn't be suing is the same as arguing that the serial sexual harasser in the office shouldn't suffer consequences, because that will hurt the company.

One of the major studios involved attributed the leak to a hack. Whether that's true or not, who knows. If it was someone on the inside, it would be more likely that it was a rogue employee, as it would be a very risky move for the company to do directly. Definitely important to uncover the facts when you're talking liability in a lawsuit. Regardless, they should take a look into the policies regarding data retention of the raw footage. Once the censored version is completed, why should there be leftover raw footage on their servers?

However, it is also easy to understand the point about changing the laws regarding censorship, because it doesn't make a lot of sense, as of years ago. You could say it's not explicitly related to Kaho's lawsuit, since it was definitely illegal when those videos were released, but it's another aspect that should probably change.

Japanese Criminal Code Article 175. "(Distribution of Obscene Objects) Article 175 (1)A person who distributes or displays in public obscene objects such as documents, drawings or recording media contained in electronic or magnetic records is punished by imprisonment for not more than 2 years, a fine of not more than 2,500,000 yen or a petty fine, or both imprisonment and a fine. The same applies to a person who distributes obscene records including electronic or magnetic records through the transmission of telecommunications. (2)The same applies to a person who possesses the objects referred to in the preceding paragraph or stores electronic or magnetic records referred to in the same paragraph for the purpose of distributing them for a fee.". So, this is a little bit of a grey area. The company and/or the person(s) behind the scenes of this event are completely liable due to both clause. Though some might argue that since it was distributed overseas, that holds no ground if the distributors are Japanese (citizens). The grey area settles due to the second clause, the "possesion". According to the passage above, possession of explicit content (with exception of content regarding minors) is not illegal if one does not pursue the act of distribution. However, the internet is (for now) forever. All its content visible, to be shared all over. Japanese Citizen + Possession = Legal. Japanese Citizen + Possession + Distribution = Illegal. Yet; for argument's sake - focusing on the "possession and distribution" part, enforcement on that specific clause is nigh impossible. Because it's the internet. And that does not even cover the people beyond the scope of this code (foreigners), whom can distribute as they please. The lawsuit holds ground in regards to the company and/or people responsible. it is company property, maybe. But since leakage simultaneously brought to light that the party still possesses something that should not be shared, and also now categorizes as distribution - they are now liable to the code, because they "possess" and intentionally or unintentionally "distribute (revenue from ads or other sources count as a fee.)". Yet the distribution cannot be halted. Because the internet. In terms of getting a message across, it is justifiable. Said property should have been eviscerated of as soon as the product which adhered to the law was made. Be the motive justice, fame and/or money, the suit still holds ground. At least, in Japan. (Although, I find the fact that mere pixels and mosaics can circumnavigate this article is asinine of the highest order. But bear in my mind; I do not know the culture of the Japanese, nor am i one of them.).

Unless she can prove SOD as an organization deliberately sought to leaked and distribute pre-edited versions of the films, this really is just a money grab. She should sue the ones who broke the rules and stole that footage... but those criminals don't have 7 million yen so it seems like she wants it to be the production company's fault so she can get a payday. Even Hollywood hasn't been able to stop pre-release cuts of films from leaking. A few years ago one of the Wolverine movies was leaked almost entirely. Again, the production company doesn't gain anything from the acts of untrustworthy employees stealing from them. Kaho Shibuya's way to cope with being a victim is to sue another victim and that doesn't sit right with me.
@evapunk333

Yeah but if you don't know the exact person who leaked the footage, it's on the company who owned the footage to begin with. And really, it's their responsibility to keep the footage from getting out as well so if an untrustworthy employee does something bad that involves the company, then the company will get punished as well as the employee (if they know who they are.) For example, in my own job, if I did something that made one of my company's clients upset that the company had to compensate them for, I would get punished too, but probably not to the extent of my company because it's their responsibility to train me and make sure I am doing my job correctly. If it's bad enough, I could get fired...but our client isn't gonna go after me personally because, at the time I was under their "jurisdiction" for lack of a better term. Kaho's case is slightly more serious because it technically involves crime, but it's white collar crime so unless the production companies know who leaked it, which I highly doubt, then it is essentially their fault for not protecting her well enough.

The whole reason they censored it in the first place is because of the west and post WWII stuff but the west doesn't censor our porn so why should they still be doing it? It makes no sense. I can also very much understand the production companies tough place to be in. Censored porn is just such an unappealing choice when you have easy alternatives so it's no wonder they are struggling financially. Obviously breaking contract is not the appropriate way to respond, but I can see why they'd be desperate.

i will say that i would still like the censorship law to be changed where it is up to the actors and actresses if they want it censored. if at least one does, then it will be censored. otherwise, uncensored is legal. all previous works will stay censored however for simplicity

Probably for the same reason that a huge part of the anime industry is outsourced to places like Korea and China. It's cheaper. Any time you have to question why a company does something that doesn't make sense to the outside viewer, it's because of money. It always comes down to the money.

So let me get this straight. This girl was paid to make porn and she made the porn. Eventually she left the adult industry. The company that owns the rights to the content that she helped to make has leaked or allowed to be leaked the uncensored versions of her porn. Now she's claiming fow bc the company won't do anything about it. Tbh if what the company has done is illegal, than obviously someone needs to be helped accountable. With that said i don't think she's owed anything. The company owns the rights to the content its up to them to decide what to do with it. If she doesn't like not having control over the content than she should have made an onlyfans instead of going into professional porn.

What you need to get straight is the girl agreed to do LEGAL porn. Uncensored versions of her porn is ILLEGAL. That's why she's sueing FYI "The company owns the rights to the content its up to them to decide what to do with it" is not entirely true. If the Actress decide for whatever reason they no longer wants to be in porn, it is illegal for the company to sell it. This is not the case with particular case but an actress can say no at any point, return their appearance fee to the company, and the company CANNOT by law sell the porn she's in.

Whatever is on the internet is on it forever. The internet is overflowing with porn, therefore porn will be on the internet forever. If you don’t want to have pornographic images of yourself on the internet, don’t do porn. It’s that simple.

Hmmm.... I understand that even a job as intimate as being an AV actress deserves privacy and respect... ...But it's kind of part-and-parcel of the job? Like she must have understood the potential risk going in that there WILL be material of her online for eternity? Now she regrets it in hindsight? 😕 -I suppose she would have trusted that the producers would keep her content confidential, and there was negligence on their part for illegal (I think?) uncensored content to be released, so she would have legal standing for litigation, no? I don't think she's doing this because it's morally right to get rid of the uncensored footage online, she definitely has her own privacy interests in mind too...
@KaiHydra
8 ай бұрын
just because theres a potential risk doesnt mean the company shouldnt be liable for being the one who leaked it, if you have a contractual obligation with the actress to only release censored versions within japan. The fact that uncensored versions got leaked from the company outside of japan means that their contractual obligation has been broken, and that means she deserves compensation, and that the company should do a better job securing footage.

This is some stupid ass shit. "If someone gets into such an industry, consequences ensue." Get the fuck out of here! This is the kind of shit people say to justify letting women get sexually harrassed and raped. Accepting that "consequences ensue" and doing nothing about it is the reason these "consequences" keep happening and people keep getting hurt. Just because you can know that there is a risk of something bad happening doesn't mean that you should just accept it and that the people who cause those bad things to happen shouldn't be punished for it. Yes, Japan's porn censorship laws are weird and outdated but if the actors who sign up for them don't want their genitals uncensored then THEY SHOULDN'T BE,you goddamn weirdos lol it's not that hard to understand

It should probably be underlined that 7m yen is $50k. She's not bankrupting the industry nor is she doing this for the money. $50k isn't worth her time. She doesn't need this publicity for anything. She's not a forgotten ex-pornstar doing this for attention and/or to feed her crippling heroin addiction. You really don't need to dig too deep to find out that's she's doing pretty ok in the money/attention department. The lawsuit isn't even a good publicity stunt. So as far i see, she's doing this for principle or she has the worst manager/publicist.
