Anime File Sharing Leads To Arrests
May 12th, 2008 by Neil | 2 comments
On May 9, the Kyoto Prefectural Police’s High-Tech Crime Task Force arrested three individuals on suspicion of illegally distributing anime video footage with the peer-to-peer program Share. These arrests mark the first time Japanese police have arrest anime uploaders using the Share network. While downloading copyrighted material for personal use is legal in Japan, uploading copyrighted material to the internet without authorization is a criminal offense.
Reportedly the three individuals arrested are well known suppliers of new anime episodes which international fan translators use to create fansubs. It remains to be seen if these arrests will discourage Japanese Share users from uploading anime, or if these arrests will decrease the amount of new anime available to international fansubbers.
