« 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?

:| I am speechless.
This is pretty ridiculous. I understand they want to protect manga culture and all that jazz,but he’s young and stupid. Excuse my french. xD
But,they should arrest the person who made the manga available to him(if there’s a person behind this crime). Anyway...-__-;; What’s done is done. Poor kid must be traumatized.


Michell said: I don’t think a 14 years old boy is wise enough to know the consequences of such ‘crime’ in Japan, therefore he should be handled with a minor punishment to protect the ‘Manga culture’. ^^

I agree with Michell, hes just a little kid who loves manga, man if I was him, I would have printed copies for all my friends. =___= When I was his age, manga = the reason I was alive. I pity the kid…


ouchh this is a sticky situation


O___O arrested? O_O lol xDDD poor kid D: only 14 and already has a criminal record xDD Then again, he shouldnt’ have done something illegal tsktsktsk xD


WTH There’s like millions out there who are doing the same things! If you’re gonna arrest him arrest the rest =__= 14 year old?! Pick on someone your own size XD Manga T__T


I understand its really wrong to LEAK something but how in the world did he get it?


oh man. he’s on 14 too. +_+


i hope the consequences arent too bad for him, his only 14 ):


@Michell...I see those on the sidebar here often.  Can’t remember the name of the site.  It is a little tricky on how this should be handled due to age but wrong is wrong so he does deserve some type of “light” punishment.


How ironic, when I just posted the comment below, I noticed this ad at the sidebar > which advertises for ‘Free high quality mangas’ lol..

...arrested?
how long is the sentence?

whatever the case, leaking something is always wrong
but with a minor...that makes things more complicated
