We need to get the people here who do know Japanese and personally address these artists, and do so publicly.
On one hand we want to be sensitive to their concerns. If it's true some guy went around barking orders like that, that's really bad.
On the other hand, gently let them know that piracy is inevitable, and the Streisand effect is a thing (trying to hide something just makes more people want it). The world has changed, and acclimating to that change will be for the best.
