Pelik Aje : Lelaki Amerika Di Kanada Dipenjara 1 Tahun Kerana Memiliki Komik Jepun

Fuh!Kalau macam ni aku tak akan pergi Kanada la sebab aku peminat komik Jepun,hehe.Ini memang kisah benar,baru jadi malam tadi.Comic Book Legal Defense Fund(CBLDF) di Kanada melaporkan mereka menemui komik Jepun itu di dalam laptop pemilik seorang warganegara Amerika.Jika pemilik itu mengaku dan disabit kesalahan maka dia boleh dipenjara selama setahun.Berikut ialah laporan CBLDF(sorry,tak reti english ar nak translate2 ni,hehe):

"

The facts of the case involve an American citizen, computer programmer, and comic book enthusiast in his mid-twenties who was flying from his home in the United States to Canada to visit a friend. Upon arrival at Canadian Customs a customs officer conducted a search of the American and his personal belongings, including his laptop, iPad, and iPhone. The customs officer discovered manga on the laptop and considered it to be child pornography. The client's name is being withheld on the request of counsel for reasons relating to legal strategy.
The images at issue are all comics in the manga style. No photographic evidence of criminal behavior is at issue. Nevertheless, a warrant was issued and the laptop was turned over to police. Consequently, the American has been charged with both the possession of child pornography as well as its importation into Canada. As a result, if convicted at trial, the American faces a minimum of one year in prison. This case could have far reaching implications for comic books and manga in North America."

Pada tahun 2010,pihak polis Jepun telah menghantar Bill 156,sebuah peruntukan undang2 untuk membolehkan Jepun memperluaskan perlindungan ke atas manga atau komik yang keluar daripada negara tersebut.Berikut ialah keterangan yang ada dalam Bill 156:

"any manga, animation, or pictures (but not including real life pictures or footage) that features either sexual or pseudo sexual acts that would be illegal in real life, or sexual or pseudo sexual acts between close relatives whose marriage would be illegal, where such depictions and / or presentations unjustifiably glorify or exaggerate the activity."


Menurut mereka,komik Jepun yang lebih cenderung ke unsur2 lucah dan seks akan diberi keutamaan untuk dilindungi dan dirampas dari individu yang memilikinya secara tidak sah samada dalam bentuk buku atau imej dalam pc

Komen : Sebenarnya panjang lagi paper tu membebel,tapi aku amek isi penting je.Nasib baik la undang2 ni belum sampai Malaysia.
