Oh, so they’re officially called High-Tech Crime Task Force from “Kyoto Prefecture.

From ANN –

3 Japanese Men Arrested, Charged with Uploading Anime 

…Kyoto Prefectural Police’s High-Tech Crime Task Force and officers from five police stations arrested three men on Thursday on charges of uploading anime episodes and images to the Winny file-sharing network…

…The Winny peer-to-peer file-sharing software was developed in 2002 by a then anonymous computer engineering student. The software promised anonymity for its users…

Ray’s Take: Here’s the real news title: Section 9 unofficially prevents another crime. The Laughing man (anonymous computer engineering student) is arrested? Well, the Japanese government is smart enough trying to kill the source, which is where a lot of fan subbers get their raws. But they can’t attack both sides of the fence, I guess. No prosecuting downloaders…

Ganbatte! Warai no Otoko-dachi!

I'm a hardcore Anime Fan and I'm proud of it. I know so many things and I've acquired so much knowledge you wouldn't believe. But my love is anime. I've been drifting in this world for so long that I don't even know what an anchor means. I've seen so many shows that I've lost count. The only thing I'm sure of myself is that I care for the lowly and disenfranchised. I hate the rich and powerful and I love what I do, or what I can do. I like anime and I don't mind watching different types of shows. I have experience in different types of Japanese animation. I would be called an "expert" in a bizzaro world. One day, I'd like to start a revolution. I love the US, pizza, beer, sashimi, Chinese food, and steak. But I love freshly baked bread more than a well-aged steak. In reality, if I were born Japanese I'd be a real, hardcore Otaku. I love to love and I can hate strongly. I'm passionate in nature and I don't mind shedding tears.
