Apparently when you profit from it while breaking copyright laws.

Wow, just wow. Nevermind people's hard work.

Japanese companies really need to relax. First you have that whole Funimation simulcast issue last week and now this. Do they not realize this is 2011, not 1976?

Do you really know why they arrested them or did you just skimmed through the article?

It's not a Japanese thing. As I said, an American company probably would've stopped this much quicker. Most likely at the auction site itself.

How long he's been doing it doesn't matter. Just how long it took them to notice.

Fixed~

Because he had become too popular and was raking in a whole bunch of money. They needed to make an example... That's the gist of it....
