Do Not Share Resident Evil 4 Online in Japan. The Cops Might Get You.

Do Not Share Resident Evil 4 Online in Japan. The Cops Might Get You.

Heck, do not share anything online in Japan. The Hyogo Prefecture cyber police nabbed a 34 year-old man for doing just that.

On Jan. 26, he uploaded an episode of anime Toaru Majutsu no Index II as well as the PC version of Resident Evil 4 via closed source Share software.

The police picked up the man for violating Japanese copyright law. Japanese news notes that the cops found five computers and five hard drives in his apartment.
