CATDOLL: The source of the "One Piece" picture was sentenced to 10 months in prison

Last year, four suspects were arrested in Japan for stealing and publishing the "One Piece" comics that had not yet been released, which also caused heated discussions among anime fans. Everyone has been paying attention to the follow-up of this incident. Not long ago, several arrested suspects were tried in the Kyoto District Court and confessed to their crimes. Today (March 2), the verdict of this case was officially made public. The Kyoto District Court sentenced Hidaka Takehisa from Yashio City, Saitama Prefecture, who was involved in the case, to 10 months in prison and suspended for 3 years. The verdict of the Chinese Zhu Chenlong and others has not yet been announced.

According to the previous indictment, these four people not only illegally stole the original pictures of "One Piece" and uploaded them, but also made a profit from it. "On October 22 and 29 last year, they posted scans of the unreleased "One Piece" serials online. They provided the source of the comics online and received a monthly reward of about 370,000 yen for this." Many netizens also said that they had previously thought that they had just illegally uploaded the source of the pictures, but they did not expect that they would also make a profit from it.
