Well, the companies get revenue from sales due to increased exposure (as we traditionally argue), or more recently through advertising on video sites like Kadokawa has done.

Major anime and manga publisher Kadokawa claims revenues of 10 million yen monthly from YouTube advertising revenue sharing on its YouTube-based Kadokawa Anime Channel, both from episode and MAD viewing, and reports 50 million views from September to November of 2008; they now promise to recognise fan-made videos they like, and naturally to receive their due.

This is, they would have us believe, proof that a new business model based on online distribution and liberal usage rights is commercially viable.

While I wouldn't call it a "book about AMV", since its scope is much larger, AMVs can be seen in the index as being mentioned on pages 77-80. Not surprising, since Lessig has used them in his talks in the past.

count on the Japanese to start trying to make the illegal, legal, while our (us) congress strives to do the opposite. Yay for democracy

It isn't all that simple. The Diet is a mess right now, and while His High Otakuness Prime Minister Taro Aso supports the creation of a MAD/AMV/DOUJIN "safe space," his administration is also on the rocks, big time. The Liberal Democratic Party would most likely lose its coalition majority if it held elections right now, and the Democratic Party of Japan does not seem as keen on protecting fair use. It puts me quite at odds, because I generally prefer the DPJ's stances on social issues, but they are definitely on the wrong side of history with this one... Most likely what will happen is exactly what happened a few years ago- the issue will just be shelved and people will continue to just look the other way.

That's the take of this legal Japanese resident anyhow.

I thought this had already been discussed here? In any case, you should hear the man present the key arguments himself:

As always with a Lessig presentation, it is very good value.
