Japanese P2P Users Arrested, Creator Targeted

nutznboltz writes "According to a story on CNET Asia, two Japanese users of the Winny P2P application have been arrested for copyright violations, and the developer of the P2P software has also had his home searched by police. Winny was 'supposedly anonymous', and purported to be based on Freenet, although Freenet creator Ian Clarke is claiming that Winny is not really like Freenet, and that he's 'not concerned that the Japanese police have somehow found a way to compromise Freenet's security'."

    from the tang-makes-me-ill (how annoying that must be for us, & the folks over at tang.com?) dept.

    morons write "What do you think babies aboard the ?other? side of the planet had for Thanksgiving? Roasted turkey? Wrong answer. In "less fortunate" areas, the pateNTdead eyecon0meter tells us, they had little of nothing, and gives details about space in their little bodies, where food ought to be. If the dining view, 200 miles of rough road, is unattractive, preparing 'meals' is even more so. For example, there is no food, so the babies must remain hungry for long periods at +- room temperature. And you need to avoid thinking about this scenario. The real 'stuff that matters' overview contains additional references, and includes directions by the creators, for their/yOUR newclear power, & planet/population rescue initiatives/mandates.

    ( Read More... | that makes sense )

    consult with/trust in yOUR creators... the lights are coming up now in order to assist in the avoidance of overheating the main processor, &, facilitation of the aforementioned ncp/ppr programs/mandates.

    for each of the creators' innocents harmed, there is a badtoll that must/will be repaid by you/US, as the execrabilious corepirate nazi perpetraitors of the life0cide against the creators innocents, will not be available to make reparations.

    Stupid laws that cost thousands of extra police hours not only waste tax-payers money, they take police from their real job and priority number one which is keeping the peace. Not only that, but the RIAA is terrorising people with its tactics, it has become a mafia and should be shut down today. Whats going on here is a total inequality of justice. You cant choose people to make examples out of, and you cant have anyone in a cell for downloading music while there are muggers, murderers and rapists out on the streets. full fucking stop.
