I don't think so, mtl from part of it makes me think it's about use of Lain for unofficial things.
By July 6, 2028, which marks the 30th anniversary of the start of broadcasting today, the animation work "serial" is limited to individuals residing in Japan on the condition that they agree to both the "Terms of Use" and "Terms of Use" from today. The use of the secondary creation of experiments lain (hereinafter referred to as "this work") is permitted free of charge regardless of commercial or non-commercial purposes.
>You don't have to be supervised. In addition, the Open Source Project by the fan community, which is a collection of individuals, will be granted as well as as as any other unless you have a legal character.

Who cares? Doesn't japanese laws already allow derivative fan works like games and doujins?

No, it's just that the industry has a semi-official agreement with the community that they won't go after doujin creators as long as it's small-scale and they only sell at conventions like comiket. This would be a broader permission to sell for profit.

Oh thank god I dont have to care

What is there to profit from? It's a 20 year old dead franchise.

They probably don't intend to make more money off this, so they want free pr for openly allowing more than usual.

Well yeah, they're doing it because there's nothing to lose really.
My bet is there will be a brief explosion of webcomics based on Lain and a lot more unofficial merch.

The best that can be hoped for is probably some that comes from official artists, assuming they are also given more permission and not stopped by any contacts.

Stallman is very disappointed.

It only applies to Japanese citizens, so don't get your hopes up.

That's probably due to any contracts for distribution in other countries and any etra effort dealing with legal issues for other countries. They might not care, but others giving them money might.

Yes, she was originally selected to be the vessel for the Knights' plans. However she was not able to fulfill what she needed to do which ends up mentally breaking her and after she sees Lain was able to do what she could not do it full-on broke her.

There's some really good web resources around for discussing Lain. Searching up the Knights of Eastern Calculus and their plan would be in your favor. Unfortunately a lot of Lain lore was lost to most English speakers since it was apart of video games that stayed within Japan

So you are making your own Lain animation now, right user?

Why? Nothing has changed.

There's no license. They've just said "we might not sue you for using our IP", but they retain every legal right to deny your derivative work. Further, they've made no assurances that this vague mutual understanding regarding fan works applies to their regional distribution partners outside Japan.

What does this even mean? Will we now possibly get to see an H game where you play as Richard Stallman and violate Lain via code you've written in Lisp? At the very least someone could make a lewd doujin referencing this with Lain being "distributed" under the GPL.

>What does this even mean?
People in Japan are allowed to make their own Lain stuff and can even sell the stuff they make as long as it's original works and not just taking frames from the anime or official artwork. There are some limitations they've outlined though so we'll have to see how it ends up working. So for instance you could design your own Lain related shirt and sell it if you wanted to I guess.

What about violating Lain with the text of the outline of what they allow?

Both of them were probably the first two I ever watched. It is an interesting way to begin.

damn, that's like jumping into the deep end during your first swimming lesson

The ending was pretty heartbreaking to me. She takes her mantle as a god, and on the way there she realizes she isn't truly human. She comes to terms with this, but it feels off. All Lain ever wanted was to not be lonely, and now she is stuck with this ridiculous responsibility. She can interact with people, but she has to do it in a way that is less human. Her perception now stretches across the world, and as a result she is unable to learn about people on a truly personal level. Lain will never get what she wanted, and that is sad to me. Or at least that is how I interpret it. Hopefully with the series officially being open to the creation of unofficial content, someone will give Lain a happy ending. Happy birthday Lain.

Oh yeah, and Lain was my waifu when I was younger. Thought that would be fitting to note.

yes, and they're the best kind

>Isn't this one of those pretentious weird for the sake of being weird animes?
Not really, it's just exploring a series of themes suggested by the rise of the Internet in late 90s Japan. Things like government surveillance, the spread of memes, anonymity and stolen identity, misinformation, etc. The show paints a picture of the future of technology that cannot be appreciated quite the same today, in a post-iPhone world.

he also said that he was looking forward to the different interpretations overseas but that they turned out mostly the same.

That's probably because of globalization and also that the only people who watched it were the ones into Japanese culture in the first place. Ueda was probably expecting a FOX news report about how SEL is un-American.

Ah, kastel, what a nostalgic name. Did he drop out of college and come out as a tranny yet?

why isnt she hot?

Nah. NGE is a stinking pile of dogshit that had no meaning. It's a mecha shonen with fanservice.

Compare and contrast with SEL which had almost no fanservice (only the ending) and that had actual depth at the time. Sure, it was so optimistic that it looks delusional by today's standards, but at least it d

There's nothing deep about NGE.

What's the problem? Why do normies think that there is something "hidden in between the lines"? They literally spell out everything for you.

I actually prefer it over the OP

Same

...why would you do that at all? ADHD?

Ok so I just finished watching it. If I understand correctly, Wired = fictional Internet/VR. L.A.I.N. was the representation of Earth's planetary consciousness that was captured via Protocol 7 and through the planetary resonance inserted into the mind of everyone, giving her a physical body representation. The K.N.I.G.H.T.S wanted L.A.I.N. to kill herself (by destroying her sense of identity, mind raping her 'sister' and creating evil Lain who had been given the capabilities of laughter) to abandon her physical body and exist exclusively inside the Wired just like Eiri did, so that Eiri could use her memory wipe powers to wipe everyone's memories in the real world and create a new universe based on his 'truth' where he would be God. Eiri is also the one responsible for capturing the planetary consciousness into the physical body of L.A.I.N. However, ultimately L.A.I.N. chose to wipe herself and Protocol 7 from memory, preventing her from having a physical form, because she wanted Arisu (Alice) to give her tight schoolgirl manko to her teacher.

However, what was the endgame of the MiB?

But who did the serial experiments on Lain's body?

I thought that the Eri guy wanted to rape Lain.

>pretentious weird
So basically too spicy for normalfags?

Because Serial Experiments Lain is a low budget anime, so it stretches out scenes unnecessarily. A high processing brain such as mind doesn't need to waste his time like that.

I believe that the average viewer could also not believe how slow Lain is compared to the sped up version which feels normal.

Lots of TV shows are like this btw, only a few hand picked anime need 1.0x speed (i.e. JoJo).

I really wonder how younger viewers who never lived in pre-internet era see Lain.

I bet you are a retard who either never watched/read H×H or you watched it and your favorite character is Chrollo.

They can't understand.

life must have been hard when you had to buy and install new apps to your tablet.

I guess you're a teen trash yourself. I bet you don't understand why JoJo needs to be watched on 1.0x whereas Serial Experiments Lain can do with 1.6x no problem. You think I'm saying it is simpler than JoJo.

They can watch Lain, and some of them may even understand the plot, but they will never experience what made it special. It really was a product of its time.

Why the fuck would you do that?

Don't feed the troll. Speedwatching is a meme.

They practically only state what has been the de facto situation with doujin(shi).
Lain has in no way become GPL compliant. It's NOT open source. It's the standard doujinshi "license" that has been around for ages in Japan.

>It's the standard doujinshi "license" that has been around for ages in Japan.
Has any author ever made it explicit like this? I always assumed doujinshi were unofficially tolerated but technically still in violation of IP laws.

The GPL is a strange comparison, because it deals with copyright. It sounds like this declaration amounts to "we will not sue you for using our trademarks".

Born in 84. She is reaching the end of her fertility now. Soon she's an old cat lady.

>technically still in violation of IP laws
Nope. In Japan IP law violations require a complaint by the IP owner.
It's a 親告罪 - curiously, there is no English Wikipedia article on that.
If they don't complain, it's no violation of IP law.

Huh. The more you know.

There is an English Wikipedia article for Antragsdelikt, which seems to be the same thing. The alternative name, Privatklagedelikte, is even composed of German root words that match the individual kanji in 親告罪. Funny how language works.

Double kill yourself, cut your testicles

>Huh. The more you know.
Did you seriously think the Japanese prosecutors simply turned their eyes away from the whole doujinshi business?
Derivative works are legal in Japan as long as the copyright holder doesn't complain. Which they do every now and then. Most prominently Nintendo (see the whole "Faithful Tepig" mess).

Lain existed before all of that as the collective essence of humankind, it took the form of Lain when internet reached a certain development level.

Sad. Lain runtime is approximately 312 minutes with OP/ED. I watched it all in approximately 195 minutes (some on 1.6, some on 1.9), giving me 1h57m of extra life. Meanwhile, I lost out on absolutely nothing by speeding it up. I bet you think that if you speed up an anime, everyone sounds like a chipmunk.

Imagine rushing through a hobby you enjoy, just so you can have an extra 1h57m to brag about it on a Mongolian basket weaving forum where everyone laughs at you for doing so. I read your post in a chipmunk voice with Yakety Sax playing in the background.

>Imagine rushing through a hobby you enjoy
Yes, so that I can enjoy it even more. Problem?

It seems like you are just desperate to defend your old fashioned position. Try watching anime on 1.5x and then tell me "how bad it is".

Goddamn, she was my inspiration for learning coding as well. I wouldn't complain about a channel like that

Is it just japanese citizens?

I can't believe there are people who actually thought that Lain is some sort of "L33T" hacker fighting against the cyberpolice or something.

>lain is 35
wew

Wouldn't the series be better with that plot though?

In other countries it's copyright infringement.

Whenever I import doujinshi, I'm less worried about them confiscating them for being pornographic, but more for them being blatant cases of copyright infringement.

A child.

Copyright/ip laws are kinda over protective imo.

So you mean I should impregnate Lain?

So if foreigners buy it it's illegal?

Once it crosses the border to a country that isn't quite as reasonable towards copyright as Japan, it becomes illegal.
Fortunately the customs officials never saw any problem with the doujinshi so far.
Hope it stays like that.

lain cutest girl

Eurochads too! we hate you guy!

>At the very least someone could make a lewd doujin referencing this with Lain being "distributed" under the GPL.
O-oh.
>the freedom to use Lain as you wish, for any purpose
>the freedom to study how Lain works, and changer her so she performs as you wish
>the freedom to redistribute copies of Lain for the use of others
>the freedom to distribute your modified versions of Lain to others, so that you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes
Now we all can really love Lain.

I've bought (unknowingly) pirated DVDs before and had no problem with them being delivered. Maybe it's harder these days though. I can't imagine (at least in the US) that it would be a problem though. Would anyone even checking shit know that it's not an official thing? Especially (in my case) if it's a well made DVD boxset.

It's not globalization, fucking retard. It's the collective consciousness. All humans have it.

In recent times particularly Americans have been hating the so-called "American values".

Don't make me list all instances. The post-2001 USA are a fucking dystopian novel.

Cute post.

The world is slowly sliding into irrationality and extremism...

Lain wa, tsuki ni nai iwa shou?

Why delete such based poster?

any abe manga worth reading?

>The 24/7 Lain stream was killed
I miss it bro's

Ryushika Ryushika and Niea_7 are apparently pretty good. Neither are fully translated though. Niea_7 has an anime which is good, but I don't know how much of the manga it covers. Probably most of it I assume, but I'm sure there's stuff it doesn't cover.

ryushika's kind of just off brand yotsuba

You aren't the one who should.

Then who?

American values dont exist anymore. Only capitalists values exist in America and they killed any kind of american value that existed

America was capitalist since the beginning (since Thanksgiving was invented).

What would lain look like if she was her age (35) now?

Anyone versed in the linguistic arts and charitable can translate this text accurately? nbcuni.co.jp/rondorobe/anime/lain/ttl/

Unfortunately my knowledge of Japanese is limited and I can not be sure of what I read. I want to know if the license has also been released for fan groups with creators from other countries or if everyone should be Japanese. Is it also allowed to launch the work commercially, outside of Japan?

I really like Ryuushika Ryuushika and Pochiyama at the Pharmacy.

It's only for people in Japan as far as I can tell. I don't think there's any protection for people buying stuff that live outside of Japan but I doubt there will be any issue with it. Maybe certain things will be harder to import than others. But for instance buying a doujin (which someone above already said they've never had an issue with) or a fan made shirt probably wouldn't be an issue. If anyone ends up making a game or an animation I'm sure it'll be available everywhere anyway even if you can't buy it yourself.

Does anyone have the song lyrics to JJ's "prayer"?

If Lain existed on today's "Wired" she would probably stream minecraft on WiredTube.

Yeah, if she was 14. What would she be doing on the internet if she was 35 though? Filing taxes? Posting on imageboards?

Lain Lain Go Away

So did the girl in the first episode actually send out the emails or was it the hackers? I'm just watching the second episode.

Present day
Present time
Ha ha ha

it was her

Wikipedia says Lain is just a computer program, like what a virus is.

Nah, it was someone who spoofed her mail address. Why would they let some random girl upload herself on The Wire?

Maybe she was a big fan of Stringer.

Japan actually uses 7G.

No, it's actually a happy go lucky optimist version of what the Japanese thought the Internet could be like (compared to the hellscape that the Internet actually is)
