Japanese software writer arrested!
« on: 16 May 2004, 18:30 »
The author of a program called Winny, a popular p2p client in Japan, has been arrested because his software allows people to download copyrighted stuff.

(I Don't have a link yet.)

This is fucking absurd! They might as well arrest Bill Gates because you can use Microsoft Outlook to email people copyrighted files. FUcking idiots.
