The YouTuber who was arrested for uploading unauthorized gameplay footage of Steins;Gate has been sentenced to 2 years in jail (suspended, up to 5 years) and a million yen fine for spoiling the game, marking the first time that a conviction has been made for violating copyright laws over the distribution of game videos.
In 2019, the defendant, 52-year-old Shinobu Yoshida, uploaded three items, including a gameplay video with footage including ending spoilers for the adventure game Steins;Gate: My Darling's Embrace. He also uploaded an edited video of the anime Spy x Family.
He was indicted for infringing copyright laws for uploading the videos on YouTube without permission from September to May 2022. During the trial, the defendant explained his motive: “I just wanted someone to see what I made as part of my hobby.”
While the prosecution argued, “It is a malicious act that tramples on the efforts of content production” by reducing the “willingness to purchase legitimate products,” the defense attorney sought a suspended sentence, arguing that the defendant's actions “cannot be said to be particularly malicious.”

Japan has millions of disaffected unmarried angry young men, but unlike the rest of the world, they don't riot and cause chaos. Instead, they channel their energies into being huge perverts. The West likes this model
