Wired interviews Hiroyuki Nishimura of 2channel infamy
May 22nd, 2008
Wired has an article on Hiroyuki Nishimura, the wildly infamous owner of 2channel, the no-holds-barred Japanese web BBS. Having been sued successfully many times by many people who have been flamed on the board, he doesn’t show up to court appearances any more and has never paid from any of the rulings against him. Doesn’t say much for the Japanese legal system then, does it? His latest hit, however, is a Youtube-like site where people can write comments over posted videos, which has become one Japans most visited sites.
