>We (rightsholders in the music industry)

Considering the decades (maybe half a century soon?) of parasitic behavior of the music industry to almost everything tech, from early internet to mp3 players to torrenting to streaming to lobbying for insane copy right laws, you guys calling Japan's approach "Short-sighted" is like the single best praise anyone could give them.

For the absolute awful organization JASRAC [1](Japanese music industry, who couple of years back stated that they will sue music teacher teaching their copy-righted materials to students in private, if they didn't pay a licensing fee) maybe Japan for once pushed through a good legislation?
