[sumo] [Sumo news] - Backup first six days

[R. Brown]

Brian,

There is another sumo content channel under the name Sumo Jason who used to
record the NHK broadcast and post it to YouTube with commentary.  He also
received copyright strikes from NHK and YouTube completely removed all his
content, years worth of videos.  He posted temporarily under another name
and I believe was struck again.  He eventually was able to post under his
original name after the ban period ended, this time recording a different
channel (Abeyma?).  This happened to several other channels as well.  There
are limits to the Fair Use doctrine if it is even a thing in Japan.

The reason I think this is because of Hiro's channel is these English
language YouTubers were active for years with no copyright claims from
NHK.  Now that they have their own English language channel on YouTube they
have become very aggressive with the copyright challenges.  Not just a
coincidence.
