Three men in Japan were arrested for uploading anime episodes and images. Two of them were caught uploading episode 23 of Idolmaster Xenoglossia and episode 2 of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 to the Winny network (Japanese file sharing network). The third man was charged for uploading a virus with images from Clannad.

Putting a virus with images from Clannad, that's just... ridiculous and sad! Not so smart action to upload episodes, but at least the virusman got busted =3

They probably got caught the same way that Singaporeans got caught by Odex (their ISPs matched up their names with the IP adresses that were being tracked)

On another note, I just hope that this doesn't mean that raw uploaders are going to get scared off. No raws = no subs >.<

Both Winny and Share's encryption has been cracked from what I know, so not like it's safe anymore. But then, no P2P guarantees safety unless you use something like Tor.

I'm just hoping that they weren't some of the good cappers that are/were around.

Yeah btw, it's a bit misleading.

The image wasn't the virus, the virus contained the image... :P

Like, a malware executable that had Akiko telling you to stop using P2P D: horrible.

I hope they don't stop because as someone said above (I forget who, sorry) that means no subs.
As for the guy who put the virus with the Clannad pic., well, he deserved to get caught. But it is a funny story.
