Japanese do it almost as much I think. Listen to old j-core stuff like DJ Sharpnel. Do you REALLY think all those samples are from legally-obtained rips of songs? They just have to tatemae like hell about it (sometimes justifiably as it might be to avoid getting caught by the government). You certainly will see them parasitically commenting on illegal uploads of old anime and movies on YT and NND!

I think a lot of it is Japanese normies flooding teh internetz, whereas the net veteran types had more experience with a more free flow of information on it and are more likely to be permissive of it.

The real question: Will their nationalistic tendencies flare up once all the rare old physical game media in their country gets bought up by gaijin with more economic mobility and they can no longer hoard the access of physical versions?
