When the Nation Falls, Copyright Law Remains: Who Buried Winny & Japan's Future?

This compelling 'shinsho' volume delves into the contentious history of Winny, the peer-to-peer file-sharing software, and its profound impact on Japan's technological landscape and future. Through a critical lens, the book explores how stringent copyright laws and legal battles surrounding Winny may have hindered innovation and societal progress in Japan, asking who truly 'buried' both Winny and the nation's potential. It offers a thought-provoking analysis of the delicate balance between intellectual property rights and technological advancement within a modern society. Note: The text is entirely in Japanese. Brand New Japanese Edition.
