Just when you thought you were safe, it seems that mobiles are not sacred either. See today’s Nikkei. An excerpt here:

Dai Nippon System Deters Illegal Video Viewing On Cell Phones

TOKYO (Nikkei)–Dai Nippon Printing Co. (7912) has developed a system that uses smart cards inserted into mobile phones to prevent illegal viewing of for-pay videos.

The new system incorporates smart cards into billing management networks. Mobile phone users can watch a video on their phone only after payment is confirmed by the card. Videos that have been received illegally will not play because the smart card will not confirm payment.

I think I remember reading somewhere that one of the TV stations (it might have been TV Asahi) was still trying to work out what youtube was and would worry about their taisaku (what they would do about it) afterwards…

Was it only Japan who requested those deletions? I wonder which poor guy had the job of going through finding them all.. They will be replaced with more in a couple of weeks! It is just too easy to add videos to YouTube. How can it be controlled. It is like trying to keep porn off the internet. Long live broadband..
