Well gee Estigmat…
#1 what on earth would the RIAJ be able to do with any info as they ONLY have power in Japan and i think fenopy has liek say on a good day 100 Japanese users.
#2 Fenopy doesnt keep logs, infact most larger torrent sites do, it would kill the servers with disk usage (non stop writes tot he disk) that would total over 100GB A DAY, access logs to fenopy are disabled obviously.
#3 Even if they did enable them it woould merly give the SQUID CACHE SERVER IPS as all the acess anyhow NOT the users IPs.
#4 Fenopy is NOT allowing the RIAJ to join the site in any way, they are however agreeing to give them access to a removal form so they can submit the urls of offensive torrents.
#5 the site isn’t now even in Japanese and the RIAJ is mostly concerned with JAPANESE users.
Actually I think Holland and Sweden have much much mroe to worry about, go do a relay test for thepiratebay.org or any of your favorite BT sites hosted in Holland, you will see that they are passing through government controlled servers now and that is where the IPS are being logged, it has nothing to do with the websites servers even. In Sweden for example the whole point of of taking thepiratebay.org offline was not to keep it pernamently offline (yet) but to slip in a logger on the path to the boxes. As long as the police were able to get that approved by the courts in their investigation then they can and will do this.
You have FAR more to worry about by visiting any bittorrent site hosted in Holland, USA, or Sweden then hosted in Japan.
Get your facts straight before talking out of your ass.

I think that this is just a decoy. The Japaneses are doing what has been done here in Portugal. They contact the site owners and they get really friendly and then they join the comunity of all 3 portuguese torrent sites. The 3 sites came down in flames. 30.000 people were investigated and have references has possible cyber-pirates. So I say, from now on beware of the things you take from fenopy.com

This is too good to be true :-(

RIAA will find out about this, send some storm troopers over and RIAJ will suddenly change their stance 180 degrees.

Sorry for being pessimistic but I have seen it happen in other countries: Sweden, UK, Holland and others.

I like happy endings. They make me warm and fuzzy inside.Glad to hear that they weren’t shut down. It’d be a pity to have a BT site closed for a silly reason, such as linking people to illegal content :P

That’s funny. I guess once the RIAJ saw that they couldn’t get any money from the guy, they instead decided to do the next best thing. Make a friend.

I just just think it’s hilarious that they told him they were now friends. The new motto of the RIAJ, “Let’s be friends” LOL
