People who post the random hate speech just need to get laid, and we all know that is the honest truth.

Your virtual PC guest is still running on a real PC host… which has an IP. All traffic sent or received by the guest transits through the host, and is thus entirely visible.

Without those uploaders I wouldn’t know any Japanese TV Shows or Dramas. I wouldn’t even be able to watch them.
If I don’t know them, I can’t buy them.
If they stop people from sharing, we won’t be able to get a taste of J-TV/drama.

Making such public annoucement about the upload would likely get you arrested regardless of BT, Winny, Share or PD.

(Most of these arrests in Japan have been the result of such announcement in public forums)

It was super sweet! I torrented till I was blue because I too was under the impression that cops weren’t looking for it. No one I talked to in Japan knew about torrenting either.

I got great DL/UL speeds there. Much better than Comcast in Atlanta..

Too bad for this guy. I believe that Japanese courts don’t really have a standard set up yet for this practice.

they are not “corrupt”. they are just spineless and obedient towards their masters
