Interesting, given how stringent Japanese copyright is otherwise. I'd bet large Japanese media companies lobbied against that (eg Nintendo surely doesn't want AI nets able to make Mario/Zelda/etc art indistinguishable from source material). Curious what ultimately led them to reach that conclusion.

Undoubtedly, they wanted to avoid repeating that mistake, which likely explains their current situation.
