it's not that really impolite to walk around with a bottle of water, especially in summer when it's really hot and humid. it's more like after 9/11, they took out all the trash bins except around vending machines and convinience stores so if you want to throw your empty bottle, you'd better be close to the place you bought it. cause littering IS considered impolite in japan. just like everywhere else.

New Legislation Would Crack Down On Online Piracy 350
GovTechGuy writes "Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee unveiled new legislation to combat online piracy on Monday that gives the Department of Justice more power to shut down websites trafficking in pirated movies, films or counterfeit goods. The new bill would give the government the authority to shut down the sites with a court order; the site owner would have to petition the court to have it lifted. The judge would have final say over whether a site should be shut down or not. Business groups including the US Chamber of Commerce hailed the legislation as a huge step forward."
