Well... we'll see how that pans out. I've never had any problems myself, though the new rules only just kicked in. When you consider the conviction rate it can be worrisome, but then again I don't believe they really have the competency or care to really keep track of any of it. Just a slight push and a shove, and anyone who tries to shove back becomes a person of interest.
- mahyarm 14y agoAny conviction rate needs to be accompanied with a total potential case rate. In japan, unless there is a high probability of a successful prosecution, will chose not to prosecute so the DA doesn't have an embarrassing 'non-guilty' verdict.
- bluedanieru 14y agoJust to add to that, the laws already on the books for quite some time can get you potentially ten years for sharing copyrighted works over Bittorrent and the like (the new law is for downloading, but a similar law for uploading is already there). Never heard of anyone getting pinched by it though. It's still fucking lunacy.
