A 24-year-old man in Norway has been arrested for playing the Japanese visual novel Dorei to no Seikatsu.

The game, developed by FreakilyCharming in 2015, tells the story of a man who takes care of a traumatized young slave girl.

While it’s considered legal in Japan and several other countries, Norwegian law classifies the game as containing c_ild a_use material because of its explicit animated content.

Authorities discovered the game after the U.S. National Center for Missing and E_ploited Children (NCMEC) sent reports of possible internet c_imes.

The man, from Sør-Rogaland, now faces up to three years in p_ison for possessing and playing the game, though sentences in such cases are often reduced.

A Sony foi fundada em 1946 por Masaru Ibuka em um prédio abandonado em Tóquio. A empresa começou com um capital de ¥ 190.000 e oito funcionários.

Seu primeiro produto foi uma panela elétrica de arroz. Era um produto primitivo feito conectando eletrodos de alumínio ao fundo de uma cuba de madeira.

O resultado dependia do tipo de arroz e da quantidade de água usada. A panela elétrica de arroz foi um fracasso e nunca chegou ao mercado.
