The government's plans were decided at a
meeting with the Strategic Council on Intellectual Property, which I chair. The
following are my overall comments.
------------------
Various policies regarding content were worked
out, such as the establishment of funds and amendments to the Copyright Act,
but it remains to be seen what the results are from now on. This year,
discussions were made about domestic footing and overseas expansion, which form
the 2 main pillars of the maintenance of digital networks and the strengthening
of soft power. In order to delve deeply into these issues, 2 task forces were
set up for archives and music respectively.
As a result of the discussions, topics such as
cloud services, open data, the computerization of education, the usage of
archives, and the maintenance of music databases were brought up. How we put
these into practice is the problem at hand. We expect much from the ability of
the administration to execute these policies.
A task force focusing on archives was created
to promote their use and application with the target of the year 2020. At that
point, measures regarding the use and promotion of orphan works were debated.
Media that would be considered by the archive task force were specified to be
films, music, comics, animated shows, games, and designs, with a desire to put
efforts into pop culture.
------------------
As such, the plans for this year were finally
settled. However, the overseas market share of content in the domestic market
was 3.8%, showing a decline.
This time, a music task force was established
to consider policies regarding overseas expansion, with a desire to further the
results of overseas expansion with music as a model.
We are also stressing on policies that
coordinate between the fields of content, fashion, food, and sightseeing. I am
also putting efforts into activities involving different industries, such as
Tokyo Crazy Kawaii, and hope to continue creating such spaces at Takeshiba.
