Basically, Japan's decided that knowingly possessing pirated material carries a penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000, wheras uploading pirated material can carry the extremely stiff sentence of up to ten years in prison.

Jesus Christ Japan take it easy, I know pirating stuff is bad but there's no need to throw people in jail for a decade over it.
