….And not in the way everyone would have liked it.

Mio is saddened. I am too.
…Instead of fighting till the end(Like most anime fans would have done), he gives up and pleads guilty to an a charge of obscenity, Almost gaining him a hefty fine, a prison sentence, and to give up the hobby he loves.
Someone shoot me.
While I’m not a lolicon fan, or anything of the sort, I do believe that this slaps the face of anyone who likes doujins, (Which I have a few, but they are stashed away.) The CBLDF was more than willing to help him fight this, and now that this is done, now we don’t know if others will be caught and tried or not.

Jopmod edit: Here is another post that agrees with what I feel about this. Written by the boss of Dasaku himself, he comdemns the chickening out of the guy who gave up.(His site is NWS, fair warning).

FYI: guy intially refused to sign plea. When lawyer got wind of it, he managed to talk him into it. Lawyer did not show up for plea hearing, sent in sub who didn’t know anything. It was a disaster. And don’t think every anime friend would stick it out. How many of you are worried about your collections?! Were any of you at the court house supporting him? Didn’t think so.
