Japanese Government Aims to Impose Penalties for
Downloading Illegal Books: "Japan's Agency of Cultural Affairs revealed on Friday that it plans to instate a penalty for anyone who pays to download manga, magazines, novels, essays, and photographs from the internet with the knowledge that they have been uploaded illegally. Under the proposed revisions, the penalty can be up to two years prison time or up to a 2 million yen (about US$17,740) fine. The agency intends to submit revisions to the Copyright Act in the next ordinary session of the Diet in 2019. Current laws only punish the consumer of pirated media in cases where the media in question is music or video. The proposal will expand the law to include books."

Yea, that seems kind of dumb and will probably have the opposite effect. Just showing Conan and maybe someone like L from Death Note would have been better.
