strange article.......it was translated from tabloid news..so how truthful is it?

If the cops are really zealous about cleaning house, FC2 would have been stemmed out before it even takes root.

So, my opinion is everything is just the police force flexing their muscles to rein in the industry, to remind everyone that they are still there. In turn, the studios plays chicken with stricter self enforcement to remain under the radar in an effort to weather the storm.

Pasting what I wrote about this 'article' on ScanLover (full thread here: http://scanlover.com/d/1686-brace-yourself-the-winter-is-coming/366 ):

"
One sentence comment is from on an anonymous source posted in a tabloid magazine. The rest of the article is just a rehash of old news already posted in this thread. I wouldn't be too concerned. Since there is a connection already with LEO and AV (think Ethics companies), I'd take what was reported there with massive grains of salt.

Considering that AV is a large taxable source of income I find it hard to believe 'law enforcement' wants to shoot Japan in the foot by outlawing full sex in AV. At this rate we'll only have the USA remaining when it comes to a decent porn industry - Much of Europe's industry has gone to tatters thanks to overzealous legislation and prudish government policies.

JAV can't die. JAV is love... JAV is life...

Rather the opposite, at least for the law enforcement part.

One particular case that started it all was the after-the-fact prosecution of outdoor sex for "public indecency" (MIRD-130). That led to industry self-censorship of all outdoor scene. Now (12 months later) outdoor sex scenes are back in gangbusters. I admit I've downloaded a few vids purely for the outdoor aspect (I always love sunny sex, but usually had my standards about what to download).

Similarly for other legal cases/angels. There's been no new cases for months. The "news" of that Oct 13 TR report was a unsubstantiated boast by "an investigator", not even a high ranking officer, official or politician.

No news is good news. The content of that report already disproved the headline, the wave of law enforcement is over.

Now AV industry only has to deal with piracy and poor sales.
