Newspaper Group Calls on AI Companies to Get Permission to Use News Content; Says Unauthorized Training Could Amount to Copyright Infringement
Yomiuri Shimbun file photo The Nippon Press Center building, which houses the Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association, in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo The Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association on Wednesday released a statement calling for generative artificial intelligence service providers to obtain permission from news organizations when training AI tools on news content. The association also urged the government to establish a system to protect news content, saying that a growing number of AI-based services are now using this material without permission. In the statement, the association noted that some of its member news organizations have taken technical measures on their news sites to indicate their rejection of unauthorized AI training and use of their news content, but that some AI service providers have ignored these measures. The association stated that such acts 'could amount to copyright infringement' if they 'unreasonably prejudice the interests of the copyright owner,' in the words of the Copyright Law, which governs AI training on copyrighted works. In addition, the statement addressed the worsening problem of so-called 'zero-click searches,' in which users find information to their query directly in their search results, so they do not click through to visit the website that the information comes from. The association expressed serious concern about this issue and raised questions over AI services 'free riding' on news content. 'If the functions of news organizations, which are responsible for disseminating the news, deteriorate, the public's right to know is sure to be hampered,' the statement said, calling for the implementation of 'comprehensive measures that go beyond the existing framework.'

Japan's Ishiba Seeks Probe on High Prices at 1st Rice Meeting
News from Japan Politics Jun 5, 2025 22:55 (JST) Tokyo, June 5 (Jiji Press)--Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba called for a probe to identify the reasons for soaring rice prices and examine government response at the first ministerial meeting on stable rice supply Thursday. Urging agriculture minister Shinjiro Koizumi to launch the probe, Ishiba requested that his government also consider short-term and medium- to long-term measures to tackle the rising prices. A key issue in future discussions at the ministerial council will be how to optimize rice distribution. Another point is whether members will decide radical reform to agricultural policies, including a change to the rice production adjustments still in place even after the government scrapped its policy on rice paddy acreage cuts, or "gentan." Speaking to reporters after Thursday's meeting, Koizumi said, "We'll be able to come up with medium- to long-term policies through the investigation." He said establishing a safety net so that farmers' businesses are not threatened by rice price fluctuations and creating a way to improve the transparency of rice distribution will be on the agenda of future meetings.

Japan begins debate on rice policy review as prices soar
KYODO NEWS - 1 minutes ago - 22:57 | All, Japan Japan on Thursday began a review of its rice policy after soaring grain prices hit consumers, aiming to boost production and prevent supply shortages. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba pledged to ensure stable rice supplies, as prices have doubled over the past year, prompting the release of massive stockpiles to curb the surge. The government held its first meeting of relevant ministers to examine why the price uptrend, initially triggered by a poor harvest, has persisted and to explore possible responses. While Japan no longer directly controls rice output through its long-running acreage reduction policy, it still sets target production levels based on expected demand and offers subsidies to encourage farmers to grow other crops. In that environment, small fluctuations in rice harvests can lead to big swings in prices, experts say. The number of "rice farmers is expected to decline sharply going forward, and Japanese people are increasingly worried about the supply of the staple food, as rice prices surged due to last summer's shortage," Ishiba said at the meeting. "It's important for us to ensure stable rice supplies," he added. The meeting came as rice released from government reserves began hitting store shelves at roughly half the recent average price of around 4,300 yen ($30) per 5 kilograms in May. The government has moved to sell it directly to retailers rather than through auctions, which were blamed for keeping retail prices high. In total, 610,000 tons will be released, about two-thirds of the government's stockpiled rice. As public frustration has grown over soaring rice prices, Ishiba has argued that production should be increased to help ease consumer concerns as part of his push to reform the agriculture sector. Farm minister Shinjiro Koizumi, who has vowed to deliver cheaper reserve rice to consumers more broadly, said the government should also discuss creating a "safety net" and extending support for farmers vulnerable to price swings. Koizumi told reporters that the government should take a fresh look at its export policy and support mechanism.
