About the filming and photographing in Prince Ice World
See FAQ in PIW official website (http://www.princehotels.co.jp/iceshow/faq/)
Q. Can we take photographs or videos during the show?
A. Unpermitted photographing and filming during the show will disturb other audiences.
Therefore, they are strictly prohibited.
About the unpermitted upload of the videos
In 2ch, there was a post that they reported to PIW that their face had been shown in the uploaded videos without permission. PIW replied that they took this problem seriously and would take somewhat measures.
Note that there is no proof or any record for this phonecall.
Response from PIW
According to the post on 2ch, from the inside information PIW considers to
- reconsider the fureai time itself
- reexamine Plushenko skating in PIW show
as a countermeasure of uploaded videos by Plushenko fans.
These are not the official response by PIW, non liquet.
About Japanese fan forum
The forum is a personal fan forum. It has nothing to do with Plushenko official itself.
Right now guests are unable to view the forum, but those who have their account can view the pages.
However, there is no proof that the forum has existed until Jul 26.
The administrater fearfish0820 posted an apology to the forum, according to visitors.
However, few Plushenko fans notice the new forum, so are the fans of other skaters who had been filmed in the PIW video. Therefore, those who do not know about the forum cannot see the apology.
Edit 3 (posted Jul 29 2010)
In Plushenko community page in mixi*1, fearfish0820 posted a weblog address which posts an apology.
Right now the URL is posted only in mixi and few people notice the weblog.
