Japanese police arrested two foreign nationals for allegedly posting images of manga from Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine online before their scheduled publication.
Japanese police arrested three people for allegedly uploading Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece manga from Weekly Shonen Jump in 2017.
According to the police, the two suspects posted images of a popular Weekly Shonen Jump manga for viewing by others without authorization last March, before the magazine was officially released.
The two are also suspected of violating Japan’s Copyright Act by photographing (via mobile phone) and copying images of magazines last month.
