CATDOLL: The dust has settled! The suspect who illegally stole the source of "One Piece" pleads guilty

Last year, four Chinese people in Japan were arrested for allegedly stealing and publishing the "One Piece" comics that had not yet been released, which became a hot topic among anime fans. Recently, the arrested suspects were tried in the Kyoto District Court and confessed.

According to the indictment, "On October 22 and 29 last year, they posted scans of the unreleased "One Piece" serials online, and this behavior began as early as 2013. They were asked to provide the source of the comics online, and they were paid about 370,000 yen per month for this."

Some Japanese netizens also said, "I thought they were just providing resources out of hobby, but I didn't expect it to be charged." "No wonder there were pirated copies everywhere on the Chinese Internet before, but they were the only ones caught. It turns out they took money."
