Man Arrested for Uploading Anime Songs, Manga via Share

posted on by Egan Loo

JASRAC, the Japanese Society for the Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers, announced on Thursday that police arrested a 36-year-old male office worker from Hekinan City in Aichi Prefecture the day before on suspicion of violating Japan's Copyright Law. The man allegedly used the Share file-sharing software to upload nearly 1,800 files of anime songs and manga. According to the authorities, the suspect wanted to share the files with other people with a common interest in anime.

Security researchers have known about flaws in Share's anonymity features since 2006.
