This example is what makes much of the "stealing" claim bogus, both for this and many artifacts. The Japanese owner wanted it gone and considered it trash. It wasn't some beloved item. Even Sony didn't care.
And so much of what is considered "stolen" was given away by someone in that culture as trash.
- yehat 2y agoThat's the standard excuse of a thief. "I'm not stealing it, I'm saving it". Better stop the excusing.
