Anti-fansubbers get on my nerves though. |

So unless the industry practically falls apart, the "anti-fansubbers" have no justifications for their "propaganda?" My eyeballs just rolled right out of their sockets. |

You're confusing two different people. * Shōji Sakai was sentenced for uploading anime. * Masato Nakatsuji was tried for creating a virus that happened to have images of anime from Sakai and a photo of another student. The two were both arrested on the same day but for different reasons. Sakai did distribute unauthorized anime episodes, and thousands of them. Sakai was not directly involved with the virus. Sakai has already been convicted and sentenced. http://www.nikkansports.com/general/news/f-gn-tp0-20080418-349661.html http://www.kyoto-np.co.jp/article.php?mid=P2008041800070&genre=D1&area=K00 Nakatsuji allegedly took images from those episodes and created a virus. He is being tried under copyright laws, but separately from Sakai. Nakatsuji hasn't been sentenced yet. http://sankei.jp.msn.com/region/kinki/kyoto/080417/kyt0804170218001-n1.htm http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/net/security/s-news/20080416nt0e.htm |

I wonder if bootlegging anime was worth forced man-on-man prison love...
 If I was japanese, the idea that I could get jail raped for downloading anime would completely stop me from not just downloading, but I probably wouldn't even watch anime because it could tempt me into downloading it.

Well, basically the same happened in Germany, too, and I see no real problem with it. Even if I don't think that it is that bad, it still is illegal in most countries (Every country?) - and you have to live with the consequences if you give a damn about copyright laws.
I really hope this will change, but until then, copyright laws are laws just like other laws. (Hehe, that was a lot of laws.) |

I just have one question: Where is the Ghost in the Shell-style cyberpunk police procedural starring this High Tech Crime Task Force? Because that would be awesome.

Yes, and people like you get on my nerves too. -_-; Generalizing isn't really going to get you anywhere, but I'm guessing you like hearing yourself talk. We don't need another fansub debate because this article had NOTHING to do with fansubs. ^__^ Now...He got unlucky. he gets punished for a violation. Considering how many that he's uploaded, a year would do. Personally, I think he should do some community service. Jail time seems kind of boring. |

[quote=newsJapan's Copyright Law prohibits unauthorized uploaders but expressly allows people to download for private use. The Japanese government is pushing for a ban on unauthorized downloads as well, despite receiving thousands of messages from citizens opposing the ban.[/quote]
They should have that law in the US.It'll definately help in the piracy fight but then again critics will complain that it voilates the constitution of the 1st amedment. |
