Japan's Court Rules Detailed Spoilers Are Copyright Infringement

A Tokyo court has ruled that writing out a movie or show's complete plot counts as illegal copying, because readers can understand the story just from reading the summary. The court convicted someone for posting detailed spoilers about *Godzilla Minus One* and the anime *Overlord III*. Worth flagging: this is the first criminal case of its kind in Japan. The ruling could change how streaming services and entertainment websites describe their shows and movies worldwide.
