A new experience with copyright (著作権と新しい経験)

On the website I run, called Sudomemo, people post Flipbook animations, called Flipnotes, from their Nintendo DSis. Sometimes people have issues with others drawing things like them, citing them as "stolen":
On the website I run, called Sudomemo, people post Flipbook animations, called Flipnotes, from their Nintendo DSis. Sometimes people have issues with others drawing things like them, citing them as "stolen":
"Person x drew my character without my permission/Person x is drawing like me, they are stealing my art style"
I have recently started to reply to such complaints with this:
"Thank you for your report. If you are concerned with a copyright violation, please file a DMCA takedown letter."
Most of the time, people do not continue after this, as they either won't take the time to do so, or they cannot provide examples of matching artwork. Today, someone did indeed copy art from an artist on the Internet. Upon receiving a complaint from the original artist, I advised that they file a takedown notice, which they did.
So, I am now working on creating a DMCA takedown system. I will redirect the Flipnote to a separate page containing the DMCA letter with redacted contact information. I will also submit the letter to ChillingEffects.
What an interesting day.
Thank you for reading!
Fluorescent Rocks
Here is a comparison of fluorescent rocks under normal light vs. a ultraviolet ("black ") light.
これは、UV光対通常の光で蛍光岩の比較である。
A lot of the fluorescing rocks come from the town of Franklin, New Jersey, USA (" the Fluorescent Rock Capital of the World."). Some of the bright colors displayed by these specimens are indicative of Willemite, from Franklin.
これらの蛍光岩の多くは、フランクリン、ニュージャージー州からのものである。
I took these photos on a recent trip to the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum in Houghton, Michigan, USA. It's home to one of America's most comprehensive mineral collections, and certainly worth the drive.
私は「AEシーマンミネラルミュージアム」でこれらの写真を撮影した。
博物館はこれらの岩石の最大のコレクションが含まれています。私はそれをお勧めします！

Maybe not that color.
Hatena Haiku woes
@jkondo @hatenapr Please fix Haiku! Most of us are blocked and it's very hard to use! pic.twitter.com/i8wjIeQXBH

Sadly, English Hatena Haiku shut down. Some of us have moved to the Japanese version. Unfortunately, several people (including myself, id:anthonys62403, and some others) are blocked, except from the "Post by Mail" feature. We'll survive, however.
Hatena does not let people in my country purchase Hatena Blog Pro or Hatena Points. Why? I don't know.
I had all sorts of ideas for my Hatena Blog entry for today, but they've all been swept away by other ideas. Oh well :P I'll try to do better tomorrow.
