Not that I think it will help them, as piracy is still going on as we speak and physical music sales are still decreasing (even with piracy seemingly going down).

The arson identified himself as a South Korean national. There are those on both sides who rather not have peaceful talks, and willing to spark tensions.

What for? Bilateral trade ties are pretty good, both sides didn't like China much, and their elites think that the rest of East Asia (especially to the South), are second-rate, genetically inferior, human beings; with so many similarities, it is hard to see why they would have that kind of enemity.

To answer the 1st question, I think it stems from an island dispute. (though since only half of the japanese actually cares about Senkaku, I imagine even less care about the dispute with the Koreans) And since Japan's economy was not doing so well a while ago, it's not atypical for the far-right to lay some blame onto immigrants/foreigners, just like what's happening to Greece right now.

Russia files piracy charges against Greenpeace:
"Russian investigators said Tuesday that they will file piracy charges against Greenpeace activists who tried to climb onto an offshore drilling platform in the Arctic owned by the state-controlled gas company Gazprom. The activists are on a Greenpeace ship, the Arctic Sunrise, that was seized last week by the Russian Coast Guard and towed Tuesday into a port near Murmansk. It was unclear how many of the 30 activists from 18 countries face piracy charges, which carry a potential prison sentence of up to 15 years and a fine of 500,000 rubles (about $15,500). The Investigative Committee, Russia's federal investigative agency, said it would question all those who participated in the protest and detain the "more active" among them."

Oh, actual piracy. For a moment I was thinking 'they're hippies, of course they're pirating everything!'
The golden age of activism and optimism is long gone. I guess this is a case of do not go gentle.
