NEWS: 3 Arrested in Japan for Spreading Anime via Share Program

But use of Friio means that a member or friend of a member of a fansub group lives in an area of Japan with the HD broadcast so that is cutting down file access.

When Perfect Dark goes open source, then there will be more opportunities to crack it.

Adding more complications onto obtaining a file makes the access to the files less.

Yeah, but fansubbers won't have any issues getting raws, I guarantee this. We were able to get HQ raws back before Winny or Share or even WinMX existed! Does anyone remember when all the raws came off of Korean BBS's?

There are more fansubbers living in Japan today than ever before. With the prevalence of digital video, capture devices, and uber-high speed internet, this will have a negligible effect on fansubbing at best.

It will scare the Japanese public a bit, though, who are more easily shaken by such news.

Actually weren't they uploaders?

Except downloading isn't illegal there.

. And,maybe,just MAYBE... fans will actually buy Anime and support the domestic industry. But all i can tell youu is... You'd better start learning Japanese quick!!!

But still, you gotta hand it to the guys that got caught, especially 92Jey. He was a well-known figure among fansubbers. His raws were generally respected in the SD era.

And, actually, to be brutally honest, all this will do is push the development and user-base of "perfect dark"... and there's no way they're cracking that one any time soon, it's built like fort knox.

Thats the same thing they said about Share... and Winny, and all of the other programs. PDs security is not that much better.

What nobody is saying is the real reason these people got caught is they were using a trip and thus their files were tagged. This makes it much easier to trace the file. Also, until recently, one of them was also using Winny.
