Japanese speakers, I need your help?
I received this tweet from a native Japanese (their profile is Japan and all their tweets are in Japanese)
and my question doesn't seem to have been answered. One answerer suggested that her 1st tweet to me earlier today was cut off, so I will repost it here. Since I work during the day, I didn't have a chance to reply and she seemed offended and tweeted a 2nd tweet. I believe the first tweet is her worry about copyright infringement of photos of a souvenir that was sold at a Japan concert this past weekend in Japan. Can you tell me what exactly she is trying to say? I believe it is about copyright infringement which is ridiculous...souvenirs sold at concerts of this singer have been tweeted and posted online for years. Also, what is the best, most polite answer to her series of tweets? 1, Here is her first tweet I made sure nothing has been cut off) (my name)ã¡ã‚ƒã‚“〜〜ã—ã¤ã‚Œã„ã§ã™ãŒãŠé¡˜ã„ãŒã‚ã‚Šã¾ã™ãŒ...ã“れ写真ã¯ã€ã“ã“ã‚„ä»–ã®ã‚µã‚¤ãƒˆã¸ã°ãªã‚‰ãªã„ã§ã™...ãªãœãªã‚‰ã€ãã®å†™çœŸã¯ グッズ有料商å“ï¼ã§ã‚ã‚‹ãŸã‚ã€è‘—作権ä¿è·ã®ãƒ˜ã‚¸ãƒ¥ã‚ªãƒ¤ã¾ã™... 気分㌠悪ããªã„よã†ã«ä¸å¯§ã« 話をã—ã¾ã™ã€‚ 2. (my name)ã¡ã‚ƒã‚“〜☆もã—ã€ã“ã‚“ã„ã«æ°—分㌠悪ã‹ã£ãŸ å ´åˆã€éžå¸¸ã« 申ã—訳ã‚ã‚Šã¾ã›ã‚“....ã… ã… çµ¶å¯¾ã« ç§ã¯ (my name)ã¡ã‚ƒã‚“㫠悪ã„æ„味㧠言ã£ãŸã®ã§ã¯ãªã„ã‹ã‚‰ã....ç§ã®å¿ƒåˆ†ã‹ã£ãŸã‚“ã§ã™ï¼Ÿï¼Ÿ 3. If she is hurt, please help me to translate the following into Japanese: I am sorry for the late reply, but I was on call at the hospital and didn't have time to check twitter. I appreciate your concern and it is a good question, however I have seen photos of the notebook on many blogs in Japan and on twitter. I believe once someone has purchased it, the merchandise belongs to them, so I have given proper credit to the owner of the photo. I apologize if I hurt your feelings by my late reply. Thank you in advance. Suzy @bcnu, you are not answering my question. I asked about what her tweets said so I can understand the situation first. Then I asked for a translation for what to say. I DID NOT ask for your opinion or for you to get on your soapbox about copyright infringement rights. Ads |

How would she possibly know about your "photo of a souvenir" if you have not posted (distributed) the photo or its translation anywhere?
The best, polite response would be a short apology, denial of intent to cause harm, and promise not to do it again. Arguing about having some "rights" to it could simply enrage them. First, using the excuse that you have seen others "tweeted and posted online for years" has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with whether you are about to be sued for copyright infringement. Second, "giving credit" is not a license to use any of the exclusive rights of the copyright owners, including distributing photos of it or making any translation of it, both of which are "derivative works".

(Grammatically it should be ã“*ã®*写真) グッズ  Goods  有料商å“ï¼ Products for sale! (=The product is not free)   ã§ã‚ã‚‹ãŸã‚ã€è‘—作権ä¿è·ã®ãƒ˜ã‚¸ãƒ¥ã‚ªãƒ¤ã¾ã™... Therefore, copyright protection ??? (ヘジュオヤã¾ã™ makes no sense) 気分㌠悪ããªã„よã†ã«ä¸å¯§ã« 話をã—ã¾ã™ã€‚ I talk politely so that I won't hurt your feelings. 2. (my name)ã¡ã‚ƒã‚“〜☆ XXX chan~ ã‚‚ã—ã€ã“ã‚“ã„ã«æ°—分㌠悪ã‹ã£ãŸ å ´åˆã€ If, ??? feeling is bad, (I don't understand ã“ã‚“ã„ã«) éžå¸¸ã« 申ã—訳ã‚ã‚Šã¾ã›ã‚“....ã… ã… I am terribly sorry... ã… ã… çµ¶å¯¾ã« ç§ã¯ (my name)ã¡ã‚ƒã‚“㫠悪ã„æ„味㧠言ã£ãŸã®ã§ã¯ãªã„ã‹ã‚‰ã I meant absolutely no offense by saying that. ....ç§ã®å¿ƒåˆ†ã‹ã£ãŸã‚“ã§ã™ï¼Ÿï¼Ÿ ... Did you understand my mind? (Sounds very awkward...) 3. If she is hurt, >>> No I don't think she's hurt. On the contrary, I think she's worried that she might have hurt your feelings. (And again, I don't think this person is a native Japanese speaker.) |
