I bet you anything this company wanted Japan's Copyright Law to end so people can't download stuff what they claim is illegal for personal use.

Wow. I get possibly arresting someone that is sharing tens of thousands of tracks but the most files I saw in reports were in the low thousands, even in the U.S..

Copyright law is messed up when fair market value (i.e. 99-cents/track) doesn't apply to file-sharing.

Sell a $1 track for $1, get caught, and pay $0.50 for each copy you sold...give away a $1 track and pay $18,000 per track.

It is a great time to be a serial killer in Japan; the cops are too busy arresting people for sharing to do anything about murder.

Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.
