Japanese authorities have questioned five teenagers over a bulletin board they run called One Touch which, it’s alleged, assists in the distribution of unlicensed music. One of the teens questioned by police after a complaint was made by Japanese rights society JASRAC was just 13. According to Billboard, the formal questioning of the five kids behind the service follows the arrest of a student and 54 year old doctor who were accused of making unlicensed content available via the One Touch board.
