| i think they all work together or they all worked undercover for 1 person xD |
 |
| "searched 50" "arrested 18" not really what i'd call a "roundup" |
| 18 caught 10000+++ still uploading. |
| Wow big fail on the police part... apparently they can't wrap their minds around the fact that this ain't ever going to stop |
| There are only men on the list? O_O Pfff. Don't tell me the policemen were unwilling to arrest the ladies >8D TreF said: I like the 43-year old guy who shared Kuroshitsuji. Haha, me, too XD |
DistantAvalon said: do they usually arrest downloaders too? Downloading is technically illegal, but nowadays when ever something that shouldn't be is up, there are thousands of downloaders and the way that they see it is going after the consumer/downloader/off-spring doesn't help save the companies that are losing money. If they go after the source then if there aren't any uploads, there can't be downloads. Think of it like if there were no raws available, fansubbers wuoldn't be able to sub series at all. |

holypoop said: Lmao.. I did notice that, too.Of course, men are the only ones stupid enough to get caught. Seriously though, only 18? They do a freaking nationwide roundup and come up with 18. You'd think they would want to keep this out of the news. :P |

| 25 years old and over male thats the only thing common |

| just for reference, here's the arrests made last year... dtshyk said: According to NHK, Japanese Police conducted a wholesale arrest of the internet users who uploaded illegal files through a software called "Share". Ten people ranging from 23 to 57 years old were arrested and one is under investigation the last one was arrested (Dec 1st) by Kyoto Police. There is no interaction among them and the police charged the eleven individually. This is the first time Japanese Police made a nationwide act against the illegal file sharing. List of the anime-related suspects: 57 year old jobless man, arrested for sharing "Hikaru no Go" 44 year old system engineer, arrested for sharing movies and anime (unspecified) 40 year old jobless man, arrested for sharing "Dragon Ball Kai" 37 year old prefectural employee, arrested for sharing "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" 30 year old arcade clerk, arrested for TV anime (unspecified) 23 year old postal clerk, arrested for sharing "Lucky ☆ Star" 23 year old jobless man, arrested for sharing "Ranma ½" and Dragon Quest 9 Sources: NHK, CTV, Chunichi, Sankei, TBS oh look, there's a 57-year old man uploading anime.. definitely not your typical otaku.. |

| It's waste of time going after illegal uploaders. You definitely can't catch 'em all.. |
| What was their sentence? |

| It's not illegal to download in my country, you can upload to share but you can't sell it. So as long as you're not making a profit you're good to go. Poor guys in Japan, have to learn to be sneakier... |

LOL, very true... Also, REALLY JAPAN??? You have nothing better to do than arrest people for idiotic crimes such as these... Thank god there's so much violence in the U.S, if there wasn't I think we would have daily arrest of people uploading tons of anime and manga. |
| Nationwide roundup?... They only got 18 people. GG japan |

Tyler_t4 said: Nationwide roundup?... They only got 18 people. GG japan Perhaps only few don't abide by copyright laws in Japan, or may be most uploaders use some sort of cyber ninjutsu to evade being caught. :) |
We are the United. Even in defeat we stand united. |
