Well Jeff, Moti is violating NHK’s copyright by using their videos in his
post and you are supporting that violation by posting a link to his YouTube
videos.  The SumoForum is an open platform so they should be concerned
about copyright infringement.  While posting an occasional Japan Times
article may technically also be an infringement, the “damage” is limited.
It’s up to you whether you post.  If you don’t want to, may I suggest that
instead of posting a link to an article most of won’t be able to read, you
just post a note to the effect “Japan Times subscribers, there is a new
Sumo article behind the paywall.”  Subscribers will know how to find it.

Regards

Kodaiyama
