Content Soft Association
The Japanese AV industry has several different "ethics groups", which are voluntary organizations to assure adherence with Japanese pornography laws and to regulate content and copyrights. The earliest of these organizations was founded by the major AV companies in 1972 and is known in English as the Nihon Ethics of Video Association (NEVA) or in Japanese, Nippon Video Rinri Kyōkai (日本ビデオ倫理協会 "Japan Video Morality Association"), usually abbreviated as "Biderin" or "Viderin" (ビデ倫). In response, SOD in 1996 began its own regulatory group known as the Media Ethics Association (Media Rinri Kyōkai or メディア倫理協会), usually abbreviated as Medirin（メディ倫). Medirin was composed of "indie" companies, independent AV studios which explored porn themes forbidden by NEVA rules and which used a smaller-pixeled censorship mosaic for their videos. Medirin was re-organized in 2005 to form the Content Soft Association (CSA), called in Japanese Content Soft Kyōdō Kumiai (コンテンツ・ソフト協同組合 "Software Content Association"), to review and regulate adult videos and adult game software. The CSA has more than 65 members among AV producers comprising most of the SOD group and some other major companies. Members include:

Famous quotes containing the words content, soft and/or association:
“What is most original in a man’s nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn’t have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
“I will bring you the lily that laughs,
I will twine
with soft narcissus, the myrtle,
sweet crocus, white violet,
the purple hyacinth, and last,
the rose, loved-of-love.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression.”
—French National Assembly. Declaration of the Rights of Man (drafted and discussed August 1789, published September 1791)
