Akb48-daily.blogspot.com got shut down permanently.

Same for the 46 Zaka website.

If you try going onto either site, it states that the website no longer exists.

RIP

 

damn all the good sites are dying

 

Why are they being shut down?

 

smh .

Sadly it doesn't surprise me that this happened, Google (Where Blogspot came from) has gotten really pathetic as of late.

 

Copyright issues I suppose.

 

According to screenshot posted on https://twitter.com/AKB48Daily/status/782073467101253632 it was "repeated violations of out Terms of Service" so yeah, apparently copyrights :/ I hope AKB48-Daily will continue posting news on Twitter.

 

I have gotten more and more tired of following AKB.
Sadly its like insanely hard to follow the group since AKS etc shuts everything down, which is beyond stupid.

Screw the international fans is the message they send.
Ye well screw AKB then AKS

 

That's weird. Nothing I'd consider copyright infringement from the few times I've been on there. In fact, I'd say that it falls clearly into Fair Use under the idea that this blog would be considered "news reporting". Did they ever post full videos? All I can remember was them posting translated news.

 

Every time those kind of issues are discussed here, the conclusion is allways the same.

It is their content, they can do whatever they want with it, they can allow whoever they want to use it or not. (that include48/46 group producers, newspapers/site, etc ... wherever Paul is using to get his infos)
A fan wanting to share their news doesn't have the right to do whatever he wants with those.
Fair use is not recognized in every countries.

If I'm not wrong, he posted some showroom videos and a few other stuff uploaded illegaly (not his responsability for the upload but his for displaying the content).
Also as another exemple, in one of his latest news, he did a photo montage, and copyrights forbid from altering a picture without consent.
It might be much more complex than that though.

 

Remember only them linking the releases from the official Youtube accounts, so nothing really illegal.

 

I seriously don't see akb48 daily doing anything that infringes rights. All their pictures and videos are taken from official sources which are freely available on the net. I hope they kept a back up of the site since there's a million other hosting sites for them to host it again.

And with their pageviews, they should be able to sustain hosting it on a paid host.

 

Yes, Screw AKB for taking down somebody's blog site.

I'm pretty sure AKS could care less about somebody's blog site tbh. I know stuff like this is very easy to do (especially with stuff from google, just look at Youtube for example) and there are assholes in the world that like doing this (sending out fake reports).

 

Seems like it wasn't AKS.

Hopefully Paul will lets us know what he is planning to do.

 

the pictures that being used are basically copyrighted. But that's not the problem. The problem is some people dislike those blogs and send fake reports to google, it's not even AKS who requested to delete it.
My local blogger, conanatsuko got his blog deleted in march because some people pretended they're from akbdaily and aki-p, requested takedown, which obviously a fake one.

 

Was frustration, since so much AKB related stuff have been shut down lately.
It's getting so hard to follow everything since things gets shut down over and over.

The harder it is to get news about everything the harder it is to keep the same interest, because you miss like everything.

 

As far as i am concerned, everything that was used by Paul could be covered by the fair use clause.
And i dont think AKS has anything to do with it. The site was basically free advertisement. as far as i remember it was rather some 3rd parties causing the trouble.

Thanks for the good work, though.

 

That's great Like others are saying, it's getting harder and harder to keep up with the 48/46G. First, it was YouTube, then Show48/C48, now AKB Daily Blogpost. All of these were the main sources to keeping up. The only sources we have left are Stage48's forum and occasionally Instagram (which is basically stolen content from other posts but oh well) Maybe it's just me not looking at threads and sites but I feel like fan subbing has also decreased.

 

Seems it's trolls again after all

(Quite aggressive reply, but of course we don't see how Paul worded his mail to them)

 

This is what Paul wrote to them.
