By Chiu Chun-fu and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writerTwo female Japanese adult film stars yesterday thanked Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) investigators for arresting two men who were allegedly streaming and selling copyrighted Japanese adult content. The Web site had more than 10,000 users before it was shut down, investigators said, adding that users could pay the fees at convenience stores. The Japanese company yesterday sent representatives to Taiwan to present police with a DVD of Japanese adult film stars Yoshitaka Nene and Tsukasa Aoi thanking them for the arrests. It was the first time they had frozen assets in a copyright infringement case, to ensure that no further infringement would occur, they said. Two other men — surnamed Lai (賴) and Lien (連) — have also been detained, as they were allegedly responsible for the Web site’s management, they said.
