Yeah...Japanese Citizens might have to be very careful now, especially is RIAJ is actually documenting their illegal downloads, but I think it shouldn't change much for oversea's fans.
The 2 year sentence and paying such a hefty fine is so harsh, though, just for downloading a song or few? I mean, the hell?
On a lighter note, I am really itching to hear 'Darling' now, it's sounds like it's going to be a lovely light hearted song, like 'Always' and 'In The Air'. <3
