Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) was granted a victory in a legal battle against Japanese P2P network called FileRogue and its owner Japan MMO.

Court decided that Japan MMO and its principal Michio Matsuda were responsible for copyright infringements and must pay damages to RIAJ's member companies (19 major Japanese record labels) and to JASRAC (Japanese authors' society).
