Exactly! I have an idea – if I go to Japan and they catch me uploading a song (from a licensed overpriced CD I BOUGHT) for a friend – I may kill/rape the cop that comes to arrest me – just for fun – it’ll add just a couple of years to the sentence, not a big deal. ;)

Well, if you think that downloading a movie or a song is equivalent to a mass murder and should be punished equally, then you have some really f***ed up moral issues. As moral, as Japanese hentai or bukkake. Congratulations – you are one f***ed up individual.

The National Police Agency in Japan is widely seen as a joke. Their officers are regularly reported for corruption in the national media. Why go after child pornography or the yakuza when they can go after file sharers. What a joke.

And think, Japanese prisoners are even more social pariahs than in the US! This is just cruel and unusual legislation by the Japanese. They should be ashamed of themselves for making these people look shamed.
