Why are people sympathising with someone who has broken the law? They are in place for a reason and if broken, no matter how old the person breaking it is, they should be punished accordingly.

Also, like everyone, lol at the idiot uploading manga to youtube.

And here I thought that minors can't be arrested.

"He did smth against the LAW, must be punished" yeah, yeah, you guys spoke like you guys didn't even break any single fucing law in your entire life. Pathetic.
(As if you guys some kind of holy saint guy)

Honestly, I feel bad for this dude. I mean come on, he's 14. And besides, the funny thing about these people calling him an idiot and laughing at him, is that you're even worse: You're on your computer watching/reading anime/manga for FREE. Yet, when you hear some other person got caught for doing something that supplies you ungrateful wisecracks you just laugh and point as if it's something that only idiots would do. THAT is what is pathetic. Yeah, go ahead point and laugh till your sources of anime and manga finally shrivel up and die off, till there's nothing else to do but buy it yourself. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending this kid. He's done something wrong and is in trouble for doing it for whatever reasons. But the response I've read to it is just pitiful and disgusting.

Seems a tad harsh.

But really. Who would want to 'watch' manga on youtube? I can only imagine the quality being terrible.

Jokes aside, I don't see why some people are condemning others for laughing at the person who got caught... I mean, yeah, we can't all say we're innocent when it comes to pirating, but dear god, lulz were had for most of us. Get over it.

mung said:
LOL I have a huge doubt about this story

I find it hard to believe that a 14 yr old kid could get his hands on those manga without the publishers knowing :)) (I thinks it's a conspiracy)

Tegami said:
I'm more interested to know how a 14 year old kid got them before release in the first place.

DestinySora said:
Wow, I can't believe this. I feel sorry for him too. But how did he got them before release date is what I'm wondering about.

eatmymagnum said:

this! but honestly, you'd think he wouldn't be stupid enough to upload it onto YouTube, hell. why would you even upload it in videos?

GennyMon said:


thats what im thinking >.>

chinlamp said:
Just saw this on ANN about 15 minutes ago.

Strange how he got the manga before it was even released, guess that's the first thing the police are gonna investigate.

kisami said:


i think the real question is where was he getting his sources.

second thing is, him using youtube was indicative of how clueless or naive he was.

if they make an example out of him, which they probably will, it will have been unfortunate. i think they should just scare him for a bit and then send him on his way.

I blame the gun laws. They are way too strict and not enough people are dying from them.

I also always *facepalm* whenever I see mangas uploaded to youtube. IT. MAKES. NO. SENSE.

MANGAS ARE MEANT FOR READING, NOT WATCHING.
