Exclamation Anime uploaders in Japan jailed!

Probably the last piece of news a site like this needs to hear but reality has a habit of biting us on the backside:


Quote:
The Kyoto District Court has found one of three defendants guilty of unauthorized uploading of Gundam and other popular anime with the Share file-sharing program on Friday. Judge Kōji Shibata ordered Moriyoshi Inoha, a 41-year-old company employee from Tokyo, to serve one year and six months in prison (with a three-year suspended sentence). Prosecutors has asked for that length of prison time for Inoha on July 4.

One of the other defendants, 34-year-old company employee Kasuhiro Maki from Kawasaki City, is also facing an 18-month sentence from a different judge in the same court. Although others have been indicted and sentenced for using other programs to share files without permission, Inoha, Maki, and Takahiro Ōtomo from Hiroshima Prefecture were the first in Japan to be arrested for allegedly using Share, a program that had promised high anonymity for its users. (Ever since security researchers found flaws in Share in 2006, other successor applications have been developed.)

Japan's Copyright Law prohibits unauthorized uploaders but expressly allows people to download for private use. The Japanese government is pushing for a ban on unauthorized downloads as well, despite receiving thousands of messages from citizens opposing the ban.
Obviously this won't pose an immediate threat to International fansubbers but I imagine in the long run this may put a slight dent in the availability of raw episodes for them to sub.

Thoughts?

SHARE is a very popular Japanese P2P programme.

It won't immediately affect us being that there are still other raw providers and it hasnt reached the U.S. with anti piracy groups targeting P2P networks like Limewire and the like.

Actually State side the target is downloaders not uploaders.

I don't think the U.S. is gonna have this problem. Like you said hyperlite in the U.S. they target downloaders

It will probably have little effect on fansubbers as their raw providers and cappers have many alternative ways of sharing

Yeah, this has already happened before as well, but it always seems to be for 'uploading gundam episodes' xD , Bandai protect their stuff a lot.
