i was reading about visual novel history and ended up browsing the website of Japan's Computer Software Ethics Organization. they don't like piracy, you might say. they are histrionic freaks, you might also say

aside from the headline the body pillow post isn't that interesting, but here are some scintillating details of, i think, arresting a kid for streaming a downloaded PC game online in 2013

In this case, a person who did not purchase the official product illegally obtained game software data from the Internet and streamed a detailed live video of the game's introduction, startup, and main content. Ta. In addition, while transmitting the process of illegal acts, they repeatedly incited copyright holders and repeatedly made statements to justify their own illegal acts in a way that involved viewers on the Internet. As a result, the damage, including reputational damage, was unprecedented.

i really like their term "victim company", as in "victim company: Clear Blue Communications Co., Ltd." they also clown on the evil, debased pirate streamer:

Now, in real society, people who are meek, timid, or quiet may repeatedly make bold statements on the Internet. This type of person is sometimes called an net Benkei'', although this is similar to the inner Benkei'' in the real world. As the investigation by the Fukushima Prefectural Police progressed, the university students' bold statements stopped, suggesting that the university students were also ``Internet Benkei.''


edit: oh here's another fun bit

[Business Department Topic] “Crimes committed by middle-aged men are increasing”

During 2014, five middle-aged men in their 40s or older were arrested in cases filed by a member company of our organization, and two of these, including the male suspect, were in their 50s or older.

In response to police investigation, the male suspect stated, ``I uploaded it in exchange for downloading it.'' He has only a short history of using file-sharing software, and appears to have engaged in illegal activities for personal entertainment and self-expression.

Although computers have become popular in society and households, they also have the problem of allowing easy access to harmful or illegal information from the browser. File sharing software is easily available and can be used, but it does not guarantee anonymity.

Illegal downloading using file sharing software for personal entertainment not only threatens the profits originally earned by rights holders who produce game software and anime content, but also ``destroys their own families.'' When using a computer or software, you must be aware that you are using it in an authorized manner.

bolded for awesomeness

also: the case of some guy making posters from game screenshots?? and selling prints at auction

also also: i think machine translation failed a bit here: "Temporary employee known as the “god” of water discharge arrested". in any case, back to ragging on the perps:

The suspect uploaded a large number of new game software using the ID "OFAAFO" on file sharing software immediately after their release date. On anonymous bulletin boards on the Internet, suspects who commit illegal acts are worshiped as ``gods,'' and they seem to be praising them. The suspect may have felt a sense of fulfillment in being called "God" on the anonymous bulletin board that he could not get in real life.

File sharing software and anonymous bulletin boards do not guarantee user anonymity. Additionally, police organizations across the country are conducting surveillance activities. Even if you commit an illegal act, you can never get away with thinking, I won't know'' or They won't find out.''
