2 Foreigners Arrested in Japan for Posting Shonen Jump Manga Online Before Publication
🚨 Two foreign nationals were arrested in Japan for allegedly posting and sharing pictures from Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine before the official release. 👀 These individuals are also blamed for clicking photos of further magazine content against the Japan's Copyright Act.
📍The interesting part is that these folks, one even nicknamed Samir Musa, run a company called Japan Deal World located in Tokyo's Kita Ward.💼 Apparently, they got their hands on these magazines even before the official release through some bookstores in Tokyo to facilitate these "early leaks."😱
This is not a unique incident though, there's a past record too! Believe it or not, back in 2017, three people were caught for uploading scans from Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga from the same Weekly Shonen Jump. Talk about déjà vu!🙄 And the authorities believe there could be more who are involved, and investigations are ongoing.🔎 Some suspense, huh?! 🍿
