Well…um i think he just was a smart guy like Asche Said and its wierd because that dress is fugly…lol. And um anyway i think if that were me i would’ve hacked it at a place where they couldnt find me, like a library that gives internet or sumthin because then they wont be able to trace the ip address of hwere i am so… and anyway why is he a girl???? is he perverted lol? or just has alot of accounts and its kinda wierd for a boy to say I originally wanted the dress worn by the princess. so yeah….^_^

You guys are silly :P
The article doesn’t say anything about the boy playing as a girl. He could have simply wanted the dress to make a profit on the game, or to obtain something cute. The game gives you goals that you can aim for. And so, he aimed for the rare dress.

Software is also a big deal in Japan’s industry. You have software such as AniAnime (Did I translate that right?) and SAI Painter Pro. There are plenty of expensive software that can be very luxurious to a 16 year old kid. Hell, even to an adult.

It’s just the same as there can be expensive Software in america.

Also, The article never stated that they caught him by tracing his IP. If he plays an online game, he will atleast know a thing or two about IP Addresses. Kids aren’t dumb, don’t assume so.

You do know that if you’re a US citizen, and you commit a crime that isn’t illegal in the US overseas, the law is different?

I wonder how much time he will get if he actually gets some time in the pen. I hear a japanese prison is pure hell and I for one will never commit a crime overseas simply because of the prison and punishment rumors!

Oh yes, and not to mention he will most likely be the one wearing a dress when he goes to prison for it. I really hope they pull through on the charges other wise what a wasted effort.

Also, it really is amazing how far people are going just to get a free program or in this case how far the boy was willing to go in order to dress his virtual girl up in a pretty dress!

Oh wow way to go kid. Actually no it is so wrong to steal programs no matter what way you do it. But still brava on how smart you would have to be in order to pull off such a caper.
