Japão Atacado

Interrompemos o longo post sem batatas do Tiu Lobo para uma notícia importante.
O Japão recentemente aprovou uma lei  tipificando downloads ilegais como crime com pena de dois anos de prisão.
A lei é meia confusa (na real todo o código de leis japonesas é) e subjetiva, mas em teoria a "vitima" teria que apontar quem fez a quebra de direitos autorais, isso deixaria ao primeiro momento, Jogos, Filmes e livros como "legais" ainda.

Mesmo assim a aprovação da lei por 221 votos contra 12 foi o suficiente pro Anonymous fazer seu ataque contra os sites do governo Japonês, o partido democrata japonês, e a suprema corte, sem falar de dar essa declaração:

Greetings land of the rising sun, we are Anonymous.

In recent years the content industry, politicians, and governments throughout the world have dramatically increased their efforts to combat internet piracy and copyright infringement. Unfortunately in doing so they have often taken the wrong approach which has lead to draconian laws, infringements of basic rights, and severely stunting the growth of technological innovations.

Japan, home to some of the greatest technological innovations throughout history has now decided to go down the path as well and cave into the pressures of the content industry to combat piracy and copyright infringement. Earlier this week Japan approved an amendment to its copyright law which will give authorities the right to imprison citizens for up to two years simply for downloading copyrighted material

We at Anonymous believe strongly that this will result in scores of unnecessary prison sentences to numerous innocent citizens while doing little to solve the underlying problem of legitimate copyright infringement.

If this situation alone wasn’t horrible enough already, the content industry is now pushing ISPs in Japan to implement surveillance technology that will spy on and every single internet user in Japan. This would be an unprecedented approach and severely reduce the amount of privacy law abiding citizens should have in a free society.

To the government of Japan and the Recording Industry Association of Japan, you can now expect us the same way we have come to expect you in violating our basic rights to privacy and to an open internet.
