[tor-talk] Tor coverage by Japanese media

[Hideki Saito]

As far as I know, Winny was (and probably is) still leading file
sharing client in Japan, followed by Share.
I think an issue of Perfect Dark was that it is relatively hard to
configure compared to Winny/Share, and given there are already some
prosecution cases with Perfect Dark, perhaps that really didn't make
it better choice than Winny/Share to users.

Note that after the introduction of the revised copyright law in Japan
that makes it a crime to download infringing materials, beginning
October 1st, it looks like some metrics are showing significant
reduction in active nodes.
