I found this interesting because it's not illegal, so i wanted to share for us to discuss about it This is what i found when i was looking on info about 2channel's founder (biggest forum in the world,revenue upwards of ¥100 million per year by creator Hiroyuki Nishimura) "There are numerous civil actions against Nishimura by individuals and corporations for slander and defamation. Nishimura so far ignored every court order and has never shown up for any trial and he has lost every civil case brought against him by default. Nishimura does not hold any sizable asset in Japan and any financial gain by Nishimura (bar what the court rule as necessary living expense) is subject to foreclosure. 2channel's assets are all held overseas; the servers are located in California and the domains are owned by a United States registrar. Moreover, technically, Nishimura does not own 2channel. None of the winners of civil action collected any money from Nishimura."
I guess he has been doing his best in his own way as the admin of 2ch.net. It would be difficult for him to solve all the cases, and also there is almost nothing people can do against him anymore under current laws. Being free from civil actions can be surely possible but I do not think it is worth doing for most people. Hiroyuki is a legendary man in the Japanese Internet. I wonder how things will be in the future.
