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

Not the case. It is not sumo association. There is no fair usage rule for Japanese copyright.

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.

If anyone wants to repost sumo matches on YouTube, they just need to provide “commentary” during the upload - including just between matches.  NHK can’t block uploads if there is additional commentary.

Fair Use doctrine.

He should find another broadcast channel to record.  NHK will continue to issue copyright strikes against him (and others recording and posting copyrighted content) as long as he posts on YouTube.  Other YouTubers that feature sumo have been having the same issues for several basho now.  NHK used to not care but as sumo popularity on YouTube has grown AND NHK now has their own sumo reporter on YouTube, they don't want the competition.
