    WIKIPEDIA can’t even use official images or merch for their pages

    Is that a voluntary compliance thing? Unless the wiki servers were based in Japan they wouldn’t be subject to Japanese law about what images they can host, right?

      I imagine any users contributing from Japan could be subject to penalties under Japanese law though, and if Japan wanted to fight it they could start blocking Wikipedia as well.
