Man arrested for Pokemon Images

I wasn't intending to give my opinions, but I may as well serve some food for thought.

Although while I agree (Yeah, even ME), it is JUST Pokemon. It needs to be noted Japan and America are two completely different countries, in similarity we have a respect for law, also in Japan, Games and Anime are Japan's hot ticket, the equivalent to movies, iPods and comic books in America, they have companies who pay to have their items posted in a magazine.

However thats where the line is drawn at our similarities. The big difference between our countries is in fact, our laws. Copyright Infringement has the same name but has different effects in different regions. Posting a leaked spoiler image from an upcoming Star Trek movie is highly likely, where in Japan is somewhat more Uncommon, but still taken into consideration. I don't know ALL the Japanese laws, but I can say that this is a somewhat serious subject (considering Japan's crime rate is as extreme as America's Extreme Volleyball Tournaments).

Still, I wish they at least told me how they caught him anyway.
