Reminds me of the arrest of Isamu Kaneko, the developer P2P file sharing software, Winny, in Japan.
He was prosecuted for aiding copyright infringement for writing a software that can share any files including copyright protected files.
He won the case at supreme court but it costs a lot. Many Japanese free software developers lost their interest for publishing the software may lead to the arrest from police who don't understand any of the technology behind it.
