Why does the US needs to be involved in everything, this is an Ukranian guy in Poland, what the fuck has US to do with an Ukranian boy in Poland, sometimes I think they are really the most hateful nation in the planet, they really think they have the right to do anything anywhere.

i agree, they also except Ukrainians to pay half of their monthly income on the latest Blue Ray. Not everyone is as rich as people in the US.

This is another reason why i only buy Japanese games, you dont see japanese companies going agressivaly after their illegal obtained stuff.

That's alot of "theys" there buddy. I know it's tempting, but generlizing is not such a good idea.

So why i dont see Japanese companies sending their Ninjas to shut down servers? Their stuff like Retro games, Anime, Manga gets priaretd frequantley even on YouTube

Ukraine is a signatory nation of The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, as is Poland where this guy was apprehended so if you have complaints with enforcement of and governance of copyright, take it up with them, they signed up.  

Oh, and as pointed out earlier, Japanese companies do pursue copyright infringers.  As do other companies from other nations all around the globe.  That is the point of the Berne Convention.

And lastly, this guy is not some poverty stricken nobody, he was the owner of a lucrative site profiting on the illegal distrubution of copyrighted material.  And the bulk of his customers weren't poverty stricken Ukrainians, they were probably people in well off nations (like the states) with plenty of discretionary money to buy a freaking Blu-ray.
