After studying the cover, the 24-year-old journalist said it looked like a realistic portrayal of historical events. I showed Unit 741 to a Chinese colleague whoвЂ™d previously mentioned a вЂњhatredвЂќ of Japan. In China, while pornography is still (technically) illegal, television shows and films edge awfully close to the genre, with themes of bondage and rape, making it difficult to disentangle a toxic triumvirate of sex, violence, and nationalism. Similarly, suppressed urges drove the immense popularity in Israel of вЂњstalags,вЂќ Holocaust pulp-porn fiction with titles such as I Was Colonel SchultzвЂ™s Private Bitch in which Allied pilots raped and killed their female SS tormentors, to the fascination of teenage readers in the puritanical early 1960s. Such hyperbole is far from unique - reports of actual war crimes during the German invasion of Belgium in 1914, for instance, were embellished by British propagandists to create a stylized rendering of the вЂњRape of Belgium,вЂќ with its graphic tales of mutilated nurses, buggered nuns, and bayonetted babies. Tropes of wartime sadism are not unusual in China, where depictions of World War II sometimes border on the pornographic. The prisoners are further stripped and bound more depredations follow. A vicious Japanese officer, with stereotypical round glasses and a toothbrush moustache, ignores their weeping and high-pitched pleas for mercy. At little over an hour, the filmвЂ™s plot was as poor as the grainy picture quality: A group of female Chinese captives are sent to a prisoner of war camp for interrogation, where they end up half-naked.

It was like finding SS erotica on a tour of Auschwitz, so I bought a copy of a movie called Unit 471 and some postcards for cover. In the souvenir store, among the military figurines, fake jade, and calligraphy sets, I came across a small jumble of DVDs whose covers featured martial-sounding titles atop sultry images of Asian women, bound and prostrate: war pornography, in the most literal sense. School visits were made compulsory in 1996, though when I went during a national holiday in 2013, it wasnвЂ™t crowded. It feels as if NanjingвЂ™s curators have managed to record every one. According to ChinaвЂ™s own estimate, at least 300,000 civilians died in the slaughter that took place after JapanвЂ™s army captured the former capital in 1937. The painstaking level of detail and historical evidence, so often absent from official narratives that whitewash the ruling Communist PartyвЂ™s own bloody history, is here excruciating: children and elderly gang-raped, pregnant women impaled, their bellies ripped open. Its unique triangular design rises like a stone thorn from the site of a nearby mass grave, known as вЂњthe pit of ten thousand corpses.вЂќ Whether those similarities are a simple inspiration or a direct infringement is the complex question that is a challenge for immersive art experiences and artists to prove', he says.The Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, a record of Japanese atrocities during their six weeks of occupation, is probably ChinaвЂ™s best-kept museum. Given that immersive art is rapidly evolving, artists are finding inspiration from one another, and viewers are bound to find similarities in certain works.

'As MODS is putting forward in their defence, copyright protection is targeted at the expression of an idea and not the idea itself. There is no definitive science to the test of substantiality,' he continues.

'For infringement to occur, the infringing party must have had an opportunity to copy and must have copied the whole or a substantial part of the work. 'Whilst immersive art would indeed provide copyright protection, there are several difficulties in trying to protect such work,' Mohammad Khan, a solicitor for intellectual property law firm, Briffa, explains. This time though, that company had the gall to call themselves Teamlab Borderless, making it hard to argue the Chinese company wasn't copying the work.

They also won a lawsuit against a Chinese company that was running a similar experience.
