On December 2, the joint investigation headquarters consisting of police headquarters in Kyoto, Shimane, Yamaguchi and Kochi arrested a 38-year-old male office worker from Osaka-city on suspicion of copyright infringement (infringement of public transmission rights).
According to the police, the suspect posted the first and another one episode of GATE: Jieitai Kano Chi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri TV anime onto video-sharing website FC2 via its "FC2 Live" service without the copyright holder Warner Entertainment Japan's' permission on September 4, 2015. The police already searched his house and seized his PCs. The suspect has admitted his charge and said that he wanted to share values with others by streaming the anime on the internet.
FC2 has been infamous for being a place to share illegally uploaded videos. The founder of the site in his 40s has been placed on a nation-wanted list by Japanese police. He is believed to be staying in the U.S. to acquire the U.S. Citizenship.

I hope they don't go after nyaa. I suppose it's only a matter of time, although I'm sure there will always be alternatives

Let's hope it doesn't get to this point in the near-future.

From what I've heard, Nyaa is hosted in Sweden so it's exempt from most laws.

Realistically do you think he was taken to jail and quickly released with a simple hefty fine imposed on him? Typically, western entertainment companies try to all but extort money out of the person who commits copyright violations.
Why arrest him? Stuff like that happens all the time in the USA, just send them to court and fine them. There is no reason to lock people up for crimes that are so inconsequential.

To make a show of "see this is what happens when you break this law".
Actually trying to properly enforce these laws and prosecute every single violator would be too difficult without going full Fascist/Communist so they just make an example out of someone as a fear tactic.

well he had it coming then

I don't remember if it was actually the Netherlands but the point remains

and nothing of value was lost

So that's what passes for 'justice' these days, eh?
I feel bad for the guy arrested. That shit is overkill for stream sharing. The amount of taxpayer money spent on getting this guy far exceeds what his could have possibly done in damages. All just to make an example.
