Upload Manga, Go To Jail For Year
I'm not sure how I missed this, but one of the defendants arrested in Osaka in mid-May for uploading manga to a file-sharing site (are file-sharing places sites?) was convicted last month and faces a potential year in jail. Someone will undoubtedly come along and tell me why my reaction shouldn't be "yikes," because I tend to have news intuition straight from Bizarro World when it comes to manga, but my initial reaction is indeed in the yow/yikes neighborhood.
Speaking of manga, I assume this will drive a decent amount of conversation.
