#opJapan – Expect US
Greetings land of the rising sun, we are Anonymous.
In recent years the content industry, politicians, and governments throughout the world have dramatically increased their efforts to combat internet piracy and copyright infringement. Unfortunately in doing so they have often taken the wrong approach which has lead to draconian laws, infringements of basic rights, and severely stunting the growth of technological innovations.
Japan, home to some of the greatest technological innovations throughout history has now decided to go down the path as well and cave into the pressures of the content industry to combat piracy and copyright infringement. Earlier this week Japan approved an amendment to its copyright law which will give authorities the right to imprison citizens for up to two years simply for downloading copyrighted material
We at Anonymous believe strongly that this will result in scores of unnecessary prison sentences to numerous innocent citizens while doing little to solve the underlying problem of legitimate copyright infringement.
If this situation alone wasn’t horrible enough already, the content industry is now pushing ISPs in Japan to implement surveillance technology that will spy on and every single internet user in Japan. This would be an unprecedented approach and severely reduce the amount of privacy law abiding citizens should have in a free society.
To the government of Japan and the Recording Industry Association of Japan, you can now expect us the same way we have come to expect you in violating our basic rights to privacy and to an open internet.

I just want to say, thank you.
I am from Fukushima.
Now the Japanese government and all the mass media organization are controlled by one massive demonic and cruel organization. Common Japanese citizens even do not realize the bill is approved, and if this bill will be enforced, we will lose our voice of creativity as well as the beauty of human rights, completely. The important truth on the internet, such as the true appearance of real Fukushima after 3.11, might be also deleted completely after this bill is enforced.
I do really support Anonymous, as well as many of the Japanese do.
Good Luck, and we will also do something to improve as we can.
‘surveillance technology that will spy on and every single internet user in Japan’ is like Big Brother in ’1984′. I’m scared. Scary. I will do action against it!
Thanks Anonymous!
Greetings from TOKYO, JAPAN!
I agree with you!
We support you
Hello Anonymous. In Japan The politician has hidden information from people. People do not know how a network is in a critical situation. It was approved while not knowing this bill, either. People still believe television and a newspaper. Therefore, although the government is also bad, I think it required to make it national wake up. Therefore, a major television station and newspaper publishing company think that they are a target with it being individual. I expected Anonymous. KILL_SPK

I write it by an automatic translation.
Thanking you in advance.
I surely do not think this method is a good idea
But even if a Japanese citizen raises a voice no matter how much
The law did not change.
I may be actually wrong
Sites of the main pivot that a Japanese looks at
I have you do it, and this law is wrong and
I want you to prove that there is it.
Please attack for the Liberal Democratic Party in Japan !!!
please groove hard! Thanks!
I am a Japanese living in Japan.
For law passed this time I feel the resentment.
Do you know Japan’s music copyright management organization JASRAC?
Regardless of this organization is very bad organization, also to collect a fee instead of a musician, a musician does not pay properly.
Most of Japan’s best musician I have been devoured by this organization.
Listen to this organization, and that sucked the sweet juice the involvement of many politicians and bureaucrats also.
Bad organization also inhibited the growth of activities and amateur musicians of Japan further.
Please know that if the facts.
I will support you in this time of our protests.
Found about Anonymous in a japanese website.
As one Japanese, your existence is something close to a laser of hope, pointing at the heads of the japanese dumb-ass politicians, about to give a change to the rotting country.
As one Human being, Anonymous is the justice of the voice of the world.
Hoping to see some great work, I would just like to thank and show some gratitude for this declaration.
Hi, anonymous, I’m a citizen of Japan. Because of my age, I don’t have the franchise yet.
I think you’re doing right way this time, I’m very happy.
As most of Japanese think, the Japanese government are going seriously wrong way. For example, the problem of Fukushima nuclear power plant, breaching their own pledge, increases in tax, go against to popular will, and the punishment for downloading came this time.
Consensus of Japanese internet users will support your action for this, good luck.
Thank you so much, all of you at Anonymous. We do appreciate your right afforts. I wish I could join you doing the right things, but I so feel sorry becauese I am not a computer expert…. My family and I support Anonymous!!
Thank you. The people of Japan need to be rallied into doing something to support themselves against this ridiculous bureaucracy. You’ve inspired my wife into wanting to start demonstrations.
