German and Japanese netizens have already suffered enough misery. Unfortunately, the German and Japanese governments have been making their life more miserable for them by showing their disdain towards Fair Use. In fact, these two countries are imposing stricter copyright regulations that are believed to be responsible for all the copyright takedowns that have been happening over the last several years. Remember the infamous Article 13? According to German YouTube user APC227, the Article 13 copyright directive that wants copyright infringement gone from the Internet originated from Germany. But Germany isn't the only country that calls itself a democracy on paper that's censoring the Web on copyright grounds. Copyright infringement has been classified as a severe offence under Japan's anti-terrorism law. While there have been terrorist acts that were funded by copyright infringement, the act of copyright infringement is not serious enough an offence to be classified as a terrorist act. Looks like the losers of World War 2 want Fair Use gone from the World Wide Web, much to the chagrin of German and Japanese netizens...
TL;DR, Donald Trump's younger self from 1990 turned out to be right when he said that Germany and Japan were America's biggest enemies. So much for these two countries making billions at the expense of small businesses in America.
