posted on by Egan Loo

On October 25, the cyber crime task force of the Kanagawa Prefectural Police and the Kamakura City station arrested a 32-year-old male company employee from Kamakura on suspicion of violating Japan's Copyright Law. The suspect allegedly used the file-sharing software Share to upload the 10th episode of the Minami-ke Tadaima anime on March 11.

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