OK, I heard this through Sankaku Complex, but apparently, Hatsune Miku fans were crying foul at the recent mass-DMCA-ing of Hatsune Miku related videos.

The culprits are apparently an obscure company called "Media Interactive Inc." and a certain "Junichi Sasa", but it may be just false flagging.

It was apparently on a thread with the London 2012 Olympics if Hatsune Miku is better than certain K-pop bands. Apparently, some of the extreme Korean fans have allegedly, according to 2ch, have disguised themselves as legit companies and ordered Youtube to take down Miku videos.

What do you think? Was it just legitimate DMCA-takedown gone wrong, or is actually another Japanese-Korean dispute?

That's hilarious and sad at the same time.

This "company" is a repeat offender - a while back they were trying to take down Lady Gaga's YouTube channel.

I heard this through Sankaku Complex,

Probably fake.

It's mostly true, actually. The whole "Koreans are doing it" thing is just a pervasive rumor, though.

And they didn't use the most obvious method of dictionary cracking followed by a deletion of the account? (Then again, it being Lady Gaga's channel, it probably wouldn't be so simple.)

Oh. I guess I will write an "OPEN LETTER TO MEDIA INTERACTIVE INC" to denounce their violent DMCA-ing. With the support of the Philippine government so they will not try to mess with a government.

[up]That will totally work :D

Really, all "open letters" do is just give people an outlet to complain. Unless the author of the letter is famous. Then it might get some notoriety.

I believe it's legit DMCA-ing. They have been stupid enough in the past for me to believe it. If it's Koreans, though... that's sad.
