[BREAKING NEWS] #Ghibli Fans. Did you know that Ghibli has decided to allow you to use the images on this official web page so long as it is "within the bounds of common sense"? Ghibli made this decision so their creators' work can be best remembered. ghibli.jp/works/chihiro/…
An article on Ghibli works & copyrights reveal the following reasons: 1. Insisting to protect the work might end up shortening its market life; 2. What is 'commercial' is increasingly becoming blurred in this age;
3.Returning the favor to the fans for loving the work for so long.
I think their wording of " 常識の範囲" means 'sensible use.' So 'within the confines of a sensible use,' meaning lawful use that does not involve any commercial transactions or infringement on the original creators such as tampering or adding unauthorized illustrations.

Thank you so much for your patience.
Our heart is finally set.
We are going to tell you a not-so-bright story, although its about Christmas cakes. We think it is impossible to make things bright without talking about not-so-bright matters, so we would be happy if you could read it til the end.
@GlobeEyeNews The author of the original Yahoo! article (professor at TUFS) checked the PSIA page to confirm this was true. HAMAS was no longer on the list of terrorist/armed groups, along with Taleban and 181 other organizations. 9 groups were added and 183 removed. moj.go.jp/psia/ITH/organ…
