- Does anyone here have any pointers for information on Japanese
- releases (specifically unauthorized releases where the artists see
- no royalties)? I'm curious as to how these Japanese record companies
- manage to avoid the wrath of BMI, ACSAP and other such organizations.
- Are they somehow exempt from international copyright laws? I know
- that the RIAA was in a tizzy over the numerous CD rental stores in
- Japan, but that's nothing compared to releasing whole albums of
- material by an artist without paying any royalties whatsoever. How
- are they getting away with this?
