While those who illegally copied content were arrested, Kaneko, the developer, was also arrested in 2004 on suspicion of aiding and abetting copyright infringement. Attorney Toshimitsu Dan, who took on Kaneko's defense, argued in court with Kaneko about the illegality of the police arrest, but the first trial resulted in a guilty verdict...
