Impossible & useless. I'm no lawyer but I understand basic copyrights and don't see how even the Japanese would think that this would help. Impossible because I've never seen the code used for copyrights & useless because everything would need one. You don't see the standard © mark usually so why replace it with a big unsightly bar code. All that I've even see RQ codes used for are for URL links to the web. Only accessible by people that have cell phones with a built in camera.
If I'm out on the town and I see an interesting add I can check out the web page just by taking a picture of the bar code. No need to enter the address manually. That is all that is it really used for now. But the wikipedia article taught me that it was created & designed by Toyota to initially track their car parts.
The one you provided goes "T-Back High School" escort services… naughty naughty!

LOL damn... well I followed a link from Akiba online and ended up there so dont blame me (^^)

this is the predecessor to RFID tagging in other words.

What I heard was that every image must have a unique origination ID in the meta header of the file to be posted, according to the suggestion by the legislators in Japan.

As such, anything posted can be tracked, but it doesnt mean someone else cant simply snap an image and re-save without metadescription headers.

Completel;y useless for protection purposes, but legislators love to impose new junk to make life difficult rather than easy.

That's not a copyright code.

It's called QR code, and it's a 2d barcode that embeds text information. Most QR codes in Japan contain a url -- you can point your cellphone camera to it, and it will read off the url and launch it in the web browser, saving you from having to type or remember the address. The QR code you posted points to http://www.t-back-hs.com.

Other uses include embedding phone numbers or email addresses, or on full-html websites that point to a mobile version for cellphones.

It has nothing to do with copyrights :sick:
