The comments about downloading~

I think that downloading will become less and less, so the sales will go up... This is because I heard that in Japan, they are making it illegal to post any links to songs on the internet unless you are sharing with friends. Already 3 people have been arrested on account of this....

Can anyone confirm this? Like, did anyone else hear the same thing?


But in regard to the sales, I'm kinda disappointed, but hopefully, they will go up!!! Waaaay up!!!

Yes, Japan recently has become much more serious about illegal uploads. However, I don't know if it will really make a difference since they can't control what gets put on foreign sites like jpopsuki etc.

They were talking about legal downloads, which aren't going anywhere.

Except I'm pretty sure when people said "Downloading" they meant from like the iTunes store, or... whatever else Japan uses for that
