« BEAST’s Ki Kwang gets naughty in front of 100 females
KPOP Battles: DBSK vs Big Bang, update #11 »


A 14-year-old boy from Nogoya, Japan has been arrested recently for uploading leaked manga volumes on to the popular video streaming site YouTube. Suspected of leaking One Piece, Naruto, Major and Gintama, the boy is reported to have uploaded the illegal content from December 2009 to February 2010.

Using his Twitter account to announce the four times he uploaded the manga, it was revealed that that manga was uploaded on YouTube after the boy took pictures with a camera and made a slide show. It is still unclear how the boy obtained the manga before the scheduled release dates. An official from the One Piece and Naruto distribution company said that, “These acts of copyright infringement are truly regrettable. To protect manga culture and the rights of manga creators, we’re taking every available measure.”

This here is a very tricky situation. Sure, the boy is only fourteen, but he still knowingly uploaded illegally obtained manga online! It’s one thing to release a manga online after it has been released, but to leak something is a whole new can of worms. I’m still a little split on this.

How do you think this should be handled?

Poor kid that really sucks. He shouldn’t have done it but arresting him is a bit far.


poor kid.. :(


poor kid awww
that really really sucks.
i feel like this would be one of those mistakes he’ll never be tempted to do again - so maybe a little leeway and let him go?


He’s still a child and can’t be arrested yet :( But how it got on his hands is indeed mysterious.. I hope they can arrange the pieces together soon. Who knows if the child has a connection with these companies? Hope all will be well soon ^^


woah… I wonder what’ll happen to him after that @_@
and how in the world did a 14-year old boy get his hands on a manga before its release?


*hurting him, sorry typing error ><”


Oh my.. arresting o-o? Poor boy, hope this can be resolved without hurting the him :/


omg. he’s only 14 >.<
and..arrested? what will happen to him next? omg


nyaaa~ i cant believe things like that is happening T^T


Really? Arrested for leaking? T_T”


wow maybe he just wanted to be accepted or something
but how did he get it
he must of learnt him lesson


Aww poor kid. Now he learned his lesson.


actually i think there is a lot of people who do so..poor boys..hope he will not do it next time


I think that they wouldn’t put him in jail. Maybe community service. I’m guessing that the boy didn’t know that it was illegal to post manga online.


wow that’s kinda x:


wow seems harsh but it’s true. retribution is always feared and rightly so.


all i’m wondering is how he even got it XD


omg! what’ll happen to the boy…


ouchhhh. :/
that sucks


wow. & only 14:o


sure he knew what he was doing but maybe he didn’t know the extremity of the consequences? i mean he’s only 14 for goodness sakes.
i’m not sure what should be done honestly.
he should be punished for doing wrong but maybe they should lessen the amount of punishments he gets?


HOW did he get the manga is what they should be asking.
there must be someone who gave him a copy or something…
arresting him is a little bit harsh.
I agree though that he shouldnt have uploaded it to the internet.


14 or not, he knew what he was doing, and he knew it was against the law. So if you gonna do something you’d better be ready for the consequences! If people will let him off easy then more kids will do it. If you’re old enough to do something illegal you’re old enough to get in trouble for it.


dang he’s only 14? wow :o


Even though he’s only 14, I think he knew very well what he was doing, he just wasn’t thinking of/aware of the consequenses of his actions. I think arresting him is a lil’ harsh. This whole procedure he’s going through now, is probably traumatizing enough to keep him from doing anything like it again.

I’m also curious as to how/where he obtained these mangas :3
