It seems America isn’t the only place that the police is cracking down on media pirates. The “Kyoto Prefectural Police’s High-Tech Crime Task Force” recently arrested three well known anime video cappers that were allegedly uploading recordings of most popular anime television shows to the Japanese P2P network, Share. If you have watched a few fansubs in the past couple of years, chances are the raw video came from one of these guys. While it is currently legal in Japan to download unauthorized copies for personal use, it is not legal to upload them.
