Akibablog
The Akibablog owner is apparently trying to seek compensation for violation of portrait publicity rights to a guy who posted a photo of the Akibablog owner online on 2ch without permission in March. The person who posted the photo has recently received notice from his ISP regarding the case.
So… since the Akibablog owner was already disliked by some as he already has had numerous complaints for taking photos of people and inside stores without permission, people get angry and his photos get dug up and posted 1000 times over and everybody knows how he looks like now.
Not completely related, but the Akibablog owner has apparently also been asked twice by Production I.G in 2007 to stop using the icon of the laughing man from GiTS in his photos but he has not complied.

We would be exactly where we are now… doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

personally I think his case needs to be ignored, since he seems to living by a double standard. he doesn’t comply with requests from others, but expects people to comply to his requests.

I believe what the rest of Japan is doing is called “closing the holes of the damn.”
They managed to put the fear in anime uploaders when they arrested three of these guys over there.
I don’t know if it means they’ll make better anime for the rest of the world to accept, though.

>Tyrenol.
I suppose you’re right.
Though whether they do make better anime after they close the dam… we shall see.

I meant “dam.”
For some reason the finger on my right hand reaches for the letter “n” whenver I type “dam.” ^_^;

It’s normal internet behavior to be hypocrite.
