And in the US, jail can be up to just short of a year.

I'd like to point out, 'proper' jail, for misdemeanor level offenses, is 'up to a year,' but I personally know individuals who have been in jail (where people awaiting trial stay, in addition to people convicted of misdemeanors) for over three years now, still waiting on their trial.

Wait... isn't ~1,000 per 100,000 much closer to 1% than 2%?

It's still mind boggling, not trying to minimize it.

I mean, sort of, yes, but also no? It's another tool of power for a tyrannical government to wield, even if it is against companies I dislike.

Sadly, most of the instances seem to be completely nonfunctional. Nadeko.net seemed to be the only one working for months.

Yamaha is definitely in tune with the music. I never remember which is which, but their logo is tuning forks and depending on the product the tuning forks can extend past the circle. I think their motorcycles have it extending past.
