This sounds like it could end up being a class action.
with what money exactly? would parties that have not been affected, and which (potentially) may never be affected, be willing to plonk down the enormous amounts of dough needed to fight youtube and possibly the japanese government
I don't think there's enough of a class consciousness for that to happen tbh
iirc the last time something like that made news in any noteworthy capacity it only occurred (and got resolved in a pro-consumer manner) because the person it happened to was TotalBiscuit, at the time one of the most popular creators on the platform, with a motivated fanbase at his side to flood youtube and generate enough bad PR for them - and that was within the bounds of US copyright law only

The class action I was thinking about would be against YouTube for not providing services to avoid said fines to its userbase when it very clearly has access to said features.

In light of finding out a little about how Japan treats media legally it's kind of amazing they've managed to have such an enormous amount of cultural influence outside of their borders.

I knew a little bit about Japanese copyright and stuff, but it's wild to me that that stuff exists alongside doujinshi and like, legalized sale of fanworks
as I understand the fanwork scene in japan exists entirely in a "this is technically illegal but it's tradition and people will get mad at you if you break the unwritten rules of allowing it" grey area where the rightsholders simply don't acknowledge it

well and many artists get their start there, so it would pretty much be cutting the legs off under the whole thing
which makes it even more bizarre that they're blind to the self-interested benefits of real fair use exceptions and etc.
It makes perfect sense when you realize they permit the fan work market because it's their own people. It's based in Japan and the people in Japan, whom they can rifle through and pick up the good ones.
They can't do that with people outside Japan, so they don't see any reason to allow the same market to exist elsewhere. Because Japan is still very xenophobic.

Also class action suits are frequently initiated by law firms who have received a few complaints and see an opportunity. The firm usually gets fees out of the settlement and sometimes retains the unclaimed portion of the settlement that class members don't collect. I believe they are mostly filed with no upfront cost to the plaintiffs.

This was how it was with western fanfic up until recently too. Weird kind of stuff. Until people gave up. And Twitch! Copyright doesn't work.
The Western fanfic scene was famously hounded by Anne Rice at the turn of the century which made her a big enough pariah in the community that they celebrated her death. On the opposite side of the coin, one could say part of why Harry Potter ended up so popular was Rowling's explicit acceptance of fanfiction (too bad she burned all that good will with TERFery).
Here is the new Channel 5 joint, but be warned, it's 27 minutes. So like... do some stretches or whatever so you don't cringe to death https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy9x09iCATA
holy shit this was hilarious, the entire Guapdad portion was great, Sidam is funny as hell, the bit between the two spider-web haircut dudes, tremendous stuff
Though TBH, I forgot that they recorded an interview with the Q Anon Shaman, that shit fucking sucks and I hope they don't do stuff like that again

you could actually see the mili-second where he goes from sitting waiting for his bit to start to going "now hold on just one goddamn second, this shit again??"

Not just fanfiction. Much of what made HP the phenomenon it was is that you could keep mainline HP content even when you're caught up on movies. There was always more fanfic, silly YouTube videos, and at least three full produced unofficial musicals.
Now I'm imagining that Japan remote detonated the data from my blu Ray copy of Redline, the only such movie I have that no longer plays despite being pristine.

I remember in high school band, our director tried to teach some of us how to circular breathe (I think that's the term for it). It's insane whenever I see it done - especially that smoothly, where you can hardly notice where the airflow changes.

She isn’t circular breathing, she just has utterly insane lung capacity.
Circular breathing sounds like a martial arts technique that musicians went in a completely different direction with.

Circular breathing is basically magic.
Nah dog it's easy. You can learn how to do it in like 20 minutes and how to do it well in a few hours of dedicated practice.

Unless you're like me and haven't gotten the hang of it even after years and years of trying. But then I'm basically mouth-handicapped (I can't wolfwhistle or make bubbles with bubblegum either).

I sorta figured it out when I played the saxamaphone but then I was like "I hate the saxamaphone" and stopped playing it and now I probably can't do it anymore, I don't remember the mechanisms
