Fate/Stay Night Spring Song subject to cam leak in Taiwan

In a Facebook post, Singapore-based film distributor Odex touched on the the just-released Fate/Stay Night Spring Song movie that was shown in Taiwan the same day in Japan and how it was subject to smartphone recording treatment.

The post as follows:

On 15 Aug 2020, Fate/Stay Night Spring Song was released in Taiwan cinemas same day as Japan. Taiwanese licensee’s good intentions to bring the movie quickly to fans turned out to be a disasterous nightmare.

A perpetrator used his handphone to record the whole movie and uploaded in YouTube and other social media platforms. The people sitting next to the culprit knew that he was recording, but did not stop nor report to the cinema attendant until the whole movie is finished. This news sent a shockwave to all the copyright owners in Japan.

Taiwan may no longer be able to release anime movies the same day as Japan. There is also a possibility that Taiwan may be placed last in the queue for anime movie releases, after most countries finish their cinema run.
This same incident could also happen to us in South East Asia. ODEX appeals to all anime fans in South East Asia to stand united to protect our local anime community and our movie enjoyment privilege of the latest anime movie in cinemas.

If you see someone recording the movie with their handphone, please tell them to stop and delete it.
If you see a noble fan confronting someone recording with their handphone, please lend support and voice out the act of wrong-doing.

If the person refuse to stop or delete the video recorded, please inform the cinema staff.

Video recording in cinema is a criminal offence in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia & Philippines; the Police may be called in where prosection may result in a criminal conviction.

With your help, we will be able to continue putting up the best anime movies in our local cinemas.

As the movie will be making its way to our part of the world as well, the news is certainly a timely one, if somewhat dramatised. Still, illegal video recording is bad and you should feel bad.
