A US company should not be trying to impose US law or US cultural norms on Japan. Impose cultural norms on them? Google/YouTube provides a service that allows users to upload videos. That's it. They're not "imposing" anything.
The way I see it, if this service puts pressure on Japan's legal system they're free to try and stop it. However, the chances of them doing so in the long run is slim. I say buckle up and make some adjustments to the system. The sooner the better.
