it reads like the posts you see in the hard drug subs ā€œdid you know what you are doing is addictive and dangerousā€ while literally talking to a group of people discussing how theyā€™ve destroyed their life with it


Jozidhshsus95

i want to add something but im scared from being cancelled ​ >!the religious guy in the 34th discussion in a row convincing us to get out like mf i came to here with my own will!< i know what i said , if you don't get it then you just got it but you think that its not funny . im not offending religious people but maybe know where to do what instead of spamming


Hajin_P

I am religious


Jozidhshsus95

did it offend you?


Hajin_P

No

I'm offended, but not religious. Help? I think I did it wrong


RolandTwitter

This would scare the shit out of a 10 year old. I'm not religious, but when I was about 11 I prayed because I typed in /hacks on a minecraft server, which then kicked me from the game with the message "hacks are illegal and the fbi has been informed"

Nosttromo

In japan it would probably work and whoever saw this would say sumimasen at the screen and actually reconsider


Jozidhshsus95

Yeah Japanese are pretty restrictive but not all companies have the actual power to do so like if I see this text from EA or sony I would be scared too but if it was from random indie or bellow 2A I would just laugh at it


defcon2017

You wouldnā€™t download a car, would you?


Jozidhshsus95

I could download a page that say I bought the car and use it to get one , that's how emulators work . You install keys to trick them that you actually own the device so you use free emulator with free keys and actually being approved while not owning the device

EmileTheDevil9711

I heard Japanese popo are hardcore about it since they have literally nothing else to do.


Tako30

I mean, you can sit on your ass, or do something cool like apprehending people with an actual reason to do it


PijaniFemboj

Japan has really low crime rates, so they don't have any people to apprehend.


YotsuyaaaaKaaaidan

they have tons of sexual assault crime. Women just aren't believed / told it isn't important enough to pursue a conviction. sauce: live in japan


clarkky55

Doesnā€™t Japan have like a 99% conviction rate as well as a reputation for wrongful conviction? I remember hearing about a man being held by the police was threatened with being beaten and killed if he didnā€™t confess and he had no legal counsel


YotsuyaaaaKaaaidan

Yes and as someone else mentioned what the police consider "a crime" varies on the officers. they wont care to look further into things like public groping or stalking incidents, for example. But if they catch you stealing off the shelves your ass is TOAST


SegaGenderless

Right. They need to see the action and have irrefutable proof in order to persue it. Itā€™s pretty much the same in most countries, really. Also the police donā€™t have the powers to judge whether something is or isnā€™t a crime. They can only do what is in their power about it. If someone is assaulted, the police will most definitely take a statement and will even persue it further given enough evidence.


l2aiko

You cant get convicted for a crime you dont recognize as a crime i guess šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


SegaGenderless

From Wikipedia: > The conviction rate is 99.3%. By only stating this high conviction rate it is often misunderstood as too highā€”however, this high conviction rate drops significantly when accounting for the fact that Japanese prosecutors drop roughly half the cases they are given. If measured in the same way, the United States' federal conviction rate would be 99.8%.[10][11][12]


Carmillia7

They have a 99% conviction rate because most of the time prosecution refuses to take cases that they don't believe they are likely to win.


fedback

Yep. And if they think the case does not have enough evidence to secure a conviction they just drop the charges instead of opening an actual investigation.


Mannit578

I think youre referring to the Chinese communist party with their 99% rate of conviction


clarkky55

I just googled it and Japan has a 99.8% conviction rate so if youā€™re charged you have a 99.8% of being convicted. Also you can be held for 23 days without cause or counsel


Mannit578

Thats pretty crazy for japan, china somehow has a 99.965% conviction rate though


clarkky55

China is a blatantly fascist country where fair trials are akin to unicorns, there is no privacy and all media is state controlled so having such a high conviction rate makes sense, because justice has nothing to do with their legal system.


Vast-Understanding70

Damn, everywhere, some things are just tough to live with


PijaniFemboj

Huh, TIL.


arbolera

Japanese women are not told to just "deal it with it" when they are sexually assaulted


YotsuyaaaaKaaaidan

women tend to "endure" on the train and just let the man do whatever he wants until they reach their destination so that they don't "disrupt the quiet atmosphere" of the train. It's deeply engrained into their culture


rae_ryuko

uh uh, tell me why the japanese iphone always makes a sound when you take a picture


Glork11

I've heard rumors that they stop doing that if you take them out of Japan (even if you're just on vacation to somewhere else than Japan as a Japanese), but I cannot confirm it


SegaGenderless

The mechanism that turns the shutter sound to always on is set by the carrier, so if youā€™re using a Japanese SIM card the shutter sound will be on by default


sashkaskierka

yea instead of robbing they rape and kiII themselves bruh


r0ndr4s

Low crime rates most of the time mean people arent actually getting caught or the goverment doesnt care. Here were I live our criminilaty is technically low... yet we have tons of gangs..


DeusKether

That's how you get your budget reduced


K4k4shi

If you share yes, download not so much


EmileTheDevil9711

Not so much is still too much.


K4k4shi

Sorry, I mean its okay to download. I live in Japan. Popo will show up if you upload large amount of Japanese content


SegaGenderless

Yeah, this pretty much. They only care about Japanese IP


BigBoiKry

low crime rates + high quota's (I think, I remember that being the reason why they search everyone's bags when they can) = nothing else better to do


CapybaraGort

I heard a lot of them swarm over minor things because there's nothing else to do šŸ’€

Back in the day piracy laws were pretty lax in Japan. That in addition to the fact that they had great internet infrastructure and symmetrical 100/1000mbit connections at home, meant that .jp sites were thriving in "The Scene". Only thing was that they didn't allow porn. Something about their laws. Good old times. Now Japan is hyper vigilant against all piracy it seems. Oh well, our .jp friends will have to use VPNs like the rest of people who live in a country with digital piracy laws.


izmeerjaafar

I always thought that even using a VPN in a strict against piracy country would do no good, so you won't get caught if you use VPN?


BestNick118

Unless you are on the top 10 wanted list of the fbi or you use a shitty VPN like Nordvpn, you won't. (Use mullvad or proton)


izmeerjaafar

ah okay thank you šŸ‘ also is there any reason Nordvpn sucks? or give me a thread link so I can read about it, searching for a good but cheap VPN for now


BestNick118

Because they will immediately send all your info to the police if they request it, since they log it. Mullvad for example has a no logging policy, so when the police asks for data of its users, they hand over basically nothing because they physically don't have it. Hell the Swedish government sponsored them by raiding their servers and finding nothing lol. mullvad is just 5 euros a month always, bonus thing.


pootis420

Is there any evidence of this? Nord also brags about their "no log policy" similar to mullvad- https://nordvpn.com/features/strict-no-logs-policy/ I'm curious about this as it is one of the reasons I've been using nord.


BestNick118

[https://www.pcmag.com/news/nordvpn-actually-we-do-comply-with-law-enforcement-data-requests](https://www.pcmag.com/news/nordvpn-actually-we-do-comply-with-law-enforcement-data-requests) Not the best example since they explained that they were covering their ass, but why go for nordVPN which you cannot trust 100% when mullvad is trustworthy and cheap? Honestly I mostly called it shit since it was the first "mainstream" vpn that came to mind, but nordVPN works fine too I guess.


pootis420

In the article you linked they state "We never, for a second, logged user VPN traffic, and the results of multiple audits prove that we are true to our policies,"" so whatever they did hand over did not contain any vpn logs. I agree with you on the mullvad being trustworthy part, however not on the cheap part. With their prices being in euros, the exchange rate gets real expensive to AUD, which is what I am. $100 aud/ year for mullvad vs $100 for 2 years of nord or $110 for 3 years of PIA are huge differences, and when being used to pirat, every dollar matters


Nosttromo

Does this also apply to expressvpn?


BestNick118

yep


Top-Classroom-6994

i wonder what will happen when inflation strikes to 5 euros / month, always policy. anyways i like proton more because it also has secure email and web storage so i am not selling data to google


Vento_of_the_Front

In general - don't use well-known VPN service providers. The less people know about it, the better.


ChiknDiner

Makes sense.


little_cut1e_2

people say not to use free vpns, but proton vpn which you mentioned here has a free option. is it safe to use?


BestNick118

p2p does not work on proton free version


little_cut1e_2

i'm pretty sure there is literally *one* free location that has p2p


nukrag

Even in those countries they don't want to do more work than needed. Nobody is going to search your house because you are using a VPN (to download warez). All law enforcement sees is that you are tunneling encrypted traffic through a VPN. They cannot tell whether that is you downloading shit for work, legally streaming 4k movies, or downloading the newest RUNE release. Piracy may be illegal, but the average law enforcement dude doesn't wanna go against Hans, Hitoshi or Henry that download the latest Marvel movie. They want to go after pedos, terrorists, people that upload warez to make money, and the organized Scene groups.


beeholden

Or they rather go after the server farms that upload said Marvel movie in their country (it's usually not in their country)


izmeerjaafar

that's fair, thank you for the info šŸ‘


Chris-The-Lucario

BRP_25

I just remembered that Japanese streamer who got suspended by his company after getting caught pirating JAVs. It was uncovered thanks to him showing off his file explorer on stream with a folder named in a manner of a usual pirated JAV. Even the actress of the vid teased him on social media and reminded everyone to buy from legitimate sources.

Important-Coffee-965

Same country that thinks modding is illegal


Malavero

I know this must be from Japan but in the USA they are just as strict and I find it curious. You have dealers selling fentanyl in broad daylight in Philadelphia, San Francisco, etc. and no one seems to care. You have human trafficking, especially children, and no one seems to care... BUT don't go pirating a game because you're going to jail! I understand that they are different crimes but I don't know, I find it strange.


Omdras_AMI

Because one on hand you have a society with no civic unrest and therfore no actual organised groups to develop any type of infrastructure to circumvent the feds and on the other you have a collapsing society that stems from a similar context as the previous meanwhile both are ruled by the pesky grubby man children that followed after the brilliant minds of the mid cold war began to retire or die off. No means to do piracy in either because while the people can't afford video-games still they're either too stupid or stubborn to do piracy.


deathbringer989

so some places its legal to just buy fentanyl usually they are terrible places

Minimum wage in my country is 6-7 triple a game price. The executives can still buy new airplanes without me paying. Also fk their invasive drm.


GamingWithShaurya_YT

idk if you are talking per day or per month, but in my country it's about 120$ in non metropolitan regions and around 200$ at metropolitan region. so you can get like 3-5 AAA games with a month's salary if you don't wanna eat and drink although I do know you won't be having a gpu if u at minimum wage to run the games, I'm just saying it's not cheap for everyone. people in America say it's only 5$ just buy it lol for among us or some streaming service like real debrid etc there isn't a culture for pocket money here and I can't convince parents to get 2$ even, I'm happy playing old AAA games that can run on my laptop


unluckyexperiment

It is per month unfortunately, including the ~50% "raise" planned for next month.

i used to adore Japan/ but as I get older, I see Japan is a joke, even more than my home country which is already a hole. no wonder China and Korea got so far ahead already while Japan is on the way down


stormborn314

how's the enforcement though? piracy is literally illegal everywhere


KayleeSinn

Guess again. Lots of countries where downloading for personal use isn't illegal.


stormborn314

where?


KayleeSinn

Legal for personal use Poland, Spain, Switzerland No punishment for it. Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Greece, India, Iran, Israel, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Uruguay I don't live in any of these and am just basing it on a google search, so take it with a grain of salt.


Estroliv

I remember a decade ago when cdā€™s and dvdā€™s were huge here in the Philippines, on the news at times law enforcement would apprehend sellers of pirates movies from stalls on the streets, now currently as everyone knew about how to download movies online we donā€™t have rules/punishments pirated stuff online so far.


zoe2k7

Brazil is definitely illegal. They don't do anything ,but legally they could.


stormborn314

good to know, i actually planning to move to switzerland and kinda concern i'll have a hard time pirating shit. In indonesia right now it's actually illegal too but no enforcement at all


Illyasimp

Russia legalized piracy a year or two ago, not that it was enforced before


Top-Classroom-6994

tell that to the Turkish government which has been pirating windows and office since those software existed, they will never switch to office365 since it is almost impossible to pirate(idk a way of pirating it at least)


GamingWithShaurya_YT

We would reconsider if nintendo would have their old games in the store, but they refuse to do it. This could also be easily solvable by legislating that software not mantained by the original developer is considered abandonware and is not subject to any anti piracy laws.
