KYOTO — A Japanese webmaster was arrested last week for posting copyrighted content by local studios after unblurring the pixelated areas around the genitals that the country’s peculiar obscenity laws mandate.

According to the English-language Japanese news site Mainichi, “Kyoto Prefectural Police arrested self-employed suspect Masayuki Nakamoto, 43, from the west Japan city of Takasago, Hyogo Prefecture, on October 18 on suspicion of violating the Copyright Act and displaying ‘obscene electromagnetic recorded media.’”

It is believed to be Japan’s first arrest for such a case, where artificial intelligence (AI) seems to have been used to unblur the genitals.

Nakamoto’s charges concern a January post, on a site he had been running since November 2020, of a scene by a Tokyo studio, which he allegedly “processed to make it look like the pixelated parts were removed.”

Nakamoto is also accused of copyright infringement and piracy for “creating obscene images from the video and uploading them to his own website, thereby making it visible to an unspecified, large online audience.”

According to Mainichi, Nakamoto reportedly admitted he had posted the video to his site.

Kyoto police accused Nakamoto of using the AI model known as “TecoGAN” to “increase the resolution of pixelated images,” and “processing and selling, at the request of customers, videos made to appear almost unaltered.”

Prefectural Police digital forensics experts determined that Nakamoto allegedly sold 2,561 video files for a total of around 11 million yen (about $96,000).

Nakamoto was also allegedly selling videos on other websites, and the investigation is ongoing.

BARCELONA — Sabrina Night (aka Sabien DeMonia) has announced a partnership with Hush Network for a series of limited-edition NFT collectibles.

Night is among the first content creators, noted a rep, to release “a long and complex series on the NFT market, and she’s partnered with the Hush Network powered by $CumStar Token to make her dream a reality.”

“Sabrina’s NFTs are uniquely handcrafted — unlike most that are automatically generated — and highly collectible, such as her ‘Doll Series’ of 69 various NFT dolls. She’s already done two drops and sold one set of three almost immediately. Her next drop is a special edition set for Halloween. After that, she will be doing a drop every two weeks through June of 2022.”

The rep said each new “Doll Series” of three NFTs will range in price but “start at $1,000, with special editions like the first drop, Halloween and Christmas [releases] at higher price points. The total estimated value of entire NFT ‘Doll Series’ is estimated to be worth $80,000 to $90,000 with the resale value being much higher.”

Night said she is “elated” over the new partnership with Hush.

“There are tons of NFTs on the market, but none like mine,” she said. “Hush let me run with my creative ideas, and it’s been well-received. It’s exciting to be involved in such a groundbreaking project. I really hope my collection is just beginning and will show the potential our industry can find in creating NFTs.”

MONTREAL — Anny Aurora and Whitney Wright star in “Her Roommates Don’t Know,” the opening installment of original series “Lesbian Dating Stories” for Adult Time’s new Pilots channel.

“Riding a wave of true romance, Whitney plays a young woman who has been happily dating Anny for a few weeks. Everything is going great so far, except for the fact that Anny doesn’t want anyone to know that she’s a lesbian,” a rep explained.

During a romantic night together, the ladies try to disguise their amorous feelings for each other when Aurora’s roommates are around.

“In the last year, we have seen a positive trend regarding ‘romantic’ content, as well as scenes that are neither too edgy or too campy. As part of our Adult Time Pilots initiative, we wanted to produce a prototype for a series that would be heavy on the story, lighthearted in tone and featuring characters involved in romance-type plots,” Marketing Director Frank Stacy said. “We are quite curious to see what members will think of it.”

“The next few months should be quite exciting on Adult Time for our lesbian fans. We have a lot of interesting projects lined up, including the return of Bree Mills’ ‘True Lesbian’ series and an upcoming girl-on-girl feature film,” Stacy added.

Elsewhere, reporter Travis Kelly investigates the origins of the novel coronavirus and filmmaker and musician John Carpenter and his wife and longtime collaborator Sandy King Carpenter discuss the recently released feature film “Halloween Kills” and the comic book anthology “John Carpenter’s Tales for a HalloweeNight.”

“Finally, in a celebration of women who go au naturel in nature, Huslter revisits fan-favorite pictorials showcasing Blake Bartelli, Nova Lane, Deidre Holland, Rahyndee James and more,” noted a rep.

“In her publisher’s statement, Liz Flynt discusses President Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and makes the point that over 60% of Americans say the war was not worth the costs and the withdrawal was long overdue,” the rep said. “She further states that the rationale of ‘preventing terrorism’ by occupying a whole country is ludicrous and cites figures showing Afghanistan to be a long, profitable boondoggle for our military-industrial complex: ‘Eisenhower warned us about this complex and its ability to pervert our democracy for its own selfish interests.’ Flynt concludes that only by learning lessons from the past will we avoid future hopeless missions.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The legal status of porn videos as a specific kind of content has unexpectedly emerged as a side-issue during a Kentucky murder trial currently underway, with a judge declaring adult content to be more distracting than “a typical movie.”

On Christmas Eve 2018, Roger Burdette hit a police car with his MSD tanker truck, causing a crash and explosion that killed LMPD Detective Deidre Mengedoht in downtown Louisville.

“Prosecutors claim Burdette was watching pornography on his cell phone moments before the crash, and that he had drugs in his system that impaired his motor skills,” local station WDRB reported.

Burdette failed a field sobriety test and initially said that he had taken “non-narcotic prescription drugs.” Prosecutors charged him with murder and DUI.

Yesterday, Burdette’s defense asked Judge McKay Chauvin to “prohibit prosecutors from telling jurors that Burdette was watching pornography when the wreck occurred, arguing that there is a ‘social stigma’ associated with porn and the type of video Burdette was watching is unimportant,” WDRB reported.

“It doesn’t matter what type of video is being played,” Burdette’s attorney argued. “What matters is [the] distraction.”

The prosecutors, however, countered with the allegation that Burdette “specifically was looking for a certain porn video that he had watched before, and was not listening to dialogue, meaning he was more distracted,” according to WDRB.

The judge agreed, ruling pornography is “a visual medium” and would be “a greater distraction than a typical movie.”

The judge did not clarify what this notion may be based on, or how “pornography” would be defined as distinct from other forms of visual content or sexual expression.

Burdette’s trial continues this week.
