[tlug] Isamu Kaneko (winny creator) not guilty!



The Osaka High Court has found the creator of winny no guilty.

"Merely being aware of the possibility that the software could be abused
does not constitute a crime of aiding violations of the law, and the
court cannot accept that the defendant supplied the software solely to
be used for copyright violations,"[1]

Maybe some sanity is returning.
