Nipponbashi's clothing shop "KING" arrested for sale of "fake Anpanman T-shirt", in the past sales such as "no-charge LAN"

As I changed the character of animation "Soreike! Anpanman" to a rugged look and possessed a printed T-shirt for sale purpose,The manager of Osaka's electric shop area · Nihonbashi's clothing shop "KING" and others were arrested on suspicion of counterfeit copyright law violationHowever, the storeBoth sellers and purchasers arrested the other dayIt was able to ride on another person's wireless LAN "No-charge LANIn the past we sold equipment called so.

Details are as below.
The storefront of "KING" as of April this year that the editorial department of GIGAZINE shot. Besides clothing items, "G-SKY" called "SETS LAN" and "MAGICON" where software copied by Nintendo DS can be played are also being sold as "Internet can be done for free !!" It was.


In addition to the T - shirt of "Soreike! Anpanman" which became the trigger of arrest this time, also T - shirts which modified "Doraemon".


"KING" has several stores in Nihonbashi, and even at this store, "Standless LAN" equipment was sold extensively with stands on the street.


The "Anpanman T-shirt" which led to the arrest this time is like this.


By the way, it is very difficult to crack down on ridding on the wireless LAN itself by using "no-money LAN" equipment, so regulators are not being regulated, so sellers and purchasers of " Because it is based on the fact that the radio wave output of the equipment exceeds the prescribed value rather than the act of riding the thing, if it is a normal one, it becomes even harder to crack down.

And since it should originally regulate the act of taking free things on the wireless LAN by law, it is pointed out that arrest under "Radio Law violation" is too straightforward.

"Violation of the Radio Law (the unauthorized opening of wireless stations)" is a strike too bad.
The establishment of a radio station is aimed at obtaining a license for a person who intends to open a radio station, that is, at the time of sale, except for a part of previously approved small-scale use such as with a technical standard conformity certificate If it is, you will get a license after selling (You must be able to obtain a license unless the station is complete). If this can be confirmed, the police are almost free-handed about the caught of this hand.
In other words, it is possible for a radio-related vendor to sever if there is something you do not like.

Originally, it is totally unlikely that we should restrain the free ride of wireless LAN by the law (and to do the discussion for that) in the form of a separate arrest. It will not be useless at all.
"Do you trust the police"? Do not say bad things, is it really trustworthy by recent police? Well, since there are guys who can cheer for the points earned by this hand, the police will not quit this kind of thing, but public power must be more restrained. Because corporal whisker of an example existed before the detailed accumulation of such things.

In addition, "Funny Place" arrested for selling the "no-charge LAN" device sells after setting up a stall vending on the street facing one of Osaka's major boulevards and Sakaisi muscles that cross the Nihonbashi station in April Osaka prefectural police have already started investigating funny place, such as identifying ten buyers of the same equipment from February this year and continuing an inquiry investigation as to whether there is any subsequent illegal act etc. It is being done.
