Japanese YouTuber Sentenced to 2 Years in Prison for Sharing Gameplay and Anime Videos​

Written by Marko JovanovicSeptember 7, 2023

The Sendai District Court has sentenced the 53-year old Japanese YouTuber Shinobu Yoshida to two years in prison with a five-year suspended sentence and a one million yen fine for sharing Steins;Gate gameplay videos and a Spy x Family anime video. This is the first time that someone has been convicted of violating the act in connection with the distribution of gameplay videos. The judge was Koichi Nakamura, and the suspended sentence means that he won’t have to serve it if he doesn’t commit a crime in the next 5 years.

If he gets in no trouble for five years he's OK but if he does, bye bye

What does "if he doesn't commit a crime" mean? If he gets a speeding ticket he's off to jail? Jay walking? Or do they mean if he continues streaming whatever content he shouldn't have?

Wild stuff.

If he farts in an elevator, he will be executed.

If he farts in an elevator, he will be executed.

I mean, that sounds to me like that should be a universal rule in general.
