This is my first SPI request so I hope I'm doing it right. I came across this editor after seeing that Summer Vacation 1999 has been tagged with a copypaste tag. Initially, I was going to look at 27.57.134.243's contribution as they were the last edit before the copypaste tag. However, I saw that the page history of Summer Vacation 1999 also mentioned that the Plot edits by Amit1101989 were removed for copyvio issues. I was going to file a CCI as this user has had their edits removed more than 5 times for copyviolations (see for example their edits between August 8 2020 to August 9 2020). However, after looking through these IP addresses contributions, I would like to know if they are related to Amit1101989 or not first. Here's what I've found:

These IPs add copyvioes of Plot summaries soon after Amit1101989's edits were removed as copyvioes. Their edits are very similar to this user's edits but not exactly the same. Here are some stylistic similarities I've found with Amit1101989 and the following IPs:
 * 27.57.134.243: "Yu is the only lake Just before he threw" - capital J to just at Summer Vacation 1999
 * 171.61.55.239: the father of the remains Please hanging your blood - capitalizing please in the middle of the sentence at My Soul Is Slashed.
 * 122.168.175.183 and 182.70.130.75 - "good leadershipThe child was watching. - no spacing or period between sentences at School Ghost Stories 3. Individually, 182.70.130.75 added a similar copyvio of Amit1101989's at Last Cabaret after their edits were removed. Both plot edits at this article included "The party continued in the smoke."
 * 122.168.49.105 - I'm not 100% sure is this is related as Amit1101989 has not edited the only article edited by this IP Messiah (2011 film). However, both IPs starting with 122.168 have similarly added plot summary copyvio with "is actually a agent" in the prose at this article.
 * In terms of edits, all of the articles edited by 27.57.134.243 and 171.61.55.239 are the same as Amit1101989's. While 122.168.175.183 and 182.70.130.75 do have articles not edited by this user (specifically Messiah (2011 film) and Gamera: Guardian of the Universe) they both edited School Ghosts Stories 3. I've also noticed that Amit1101989 has not edited at all to Wikipedia when these IPs have edited (August 20-21, 2020 and September 2, 2020)

Overall, I believe 4 IP addresses are related to this user, but 122.168.49.105 I'm not 100% sure. For 4 IPs, they have added copyvios to the same film articles soon after Amit1101989 had copyvioes reverted. There are similar stylistic copying as well that suggests to me its the same person. If I've done any part of this wrong, please let me know. Thank you! I also edited my message a few times as I made a few errors in term of referencing which IP address I wasnt sure of, if you need to be aware of this. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:30, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Amit is clearly avoiding the warnings about copyvio by using IPs to perform his violations. Clearly unwilling to reform - indef block. The IPs have each been abandoned shortly after first use (the longest session was c95 mins), no point acting on them. Cabayi (talk) 12:00, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Over an hour spent cleaning up copyright violations of movie reviews of Japanese porn - how did my life come to this? Cabayi (talk) 13:11, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

I suspect this user is back with IP socks. These edits occurred after this user was blocked on September 11th between September 13th to September 18th. At Shusuke Kaneko, I'm pretty sure 171.60.137.221 and 122.175.206.68 are related as they've copied the same source but presented the text in different paragraphs. Both IPs editors were reverted for copyvios. 171.60.137.221 also had their edits at Shinji Higuchi removed for a copyviolation. Amit1101989 has had copyviolation removed and revdeleted at films by Shusuke Kaneko such as Summer Vacation 1999 and My Soul Is Slashed. They have also edited at Shusuke Kaneko and Shinji Higuchi before. If these edits are too stale, please let me know. I also request a CheckUser as I believe this user is evading a block. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:55, 19 September 2020 (UTC) MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:55, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , Based on and, I'm convinced the two IP's are the same actor.  But, I'm not seeing a direct tie to Amit1101989.  Do you have a diff which shows that clearly? -- RoySmith (talk) 20:17, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * In terms of biographical articles, 171.60.137.221 copied content from Tohokingdom.com at Shinji Higuchi. Amit1101989 has had their edit at Wataru Mimura rewritten due to copyvio of Tohokingdom. Other RD1 deletions of Amit1101989's edits I've requested that were copyvios of Tohokingdom include Teruyoshi Nakano, Koichi Kawakita and Jun Fukuda. As for 122.175.206.68, they added a copyvio from shusuke-kaneko.com at Shusuke Kaneko. Edits by Amit1101989 that were revdeleted as copyvios of shusuke-kaneko.com include Summer Vacation 1999 and Who Do I Choose?. I specifically linked to this website in my RD1 requests here and here. I can't link to Amit1101989's edits at these two films as they were revdeleted, but it can be seen in their contributions. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:57, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Closing with no action taken. I'm afraid I'm still not seeing the direct link between the master and these two IPs.  What would really help is specific diffs, i.e. this edit by X is the same as this edit by Y.  Looking through what you've given me, I'm not seeing that.  They are IP hopping anyway, so blocking a particular address wouldn't do much good. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:24, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
