    A Saitama prefecture lawyer filed a case against a unit of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) at the Tokyo District Court on Thursday after NTT began blocking three websites with pirated content on Monday.

    Plaintiff Yūichi Nakazawa claimed in the case that NTT's action is allegedly a violation of the Telecommunications Business Act, and constitutes a violation of privacy of communication, due to the action implying that NTT is aware of the content that its users access. Article 3, Chapter I of the Telecommunications Business Act states, "No communications being handled by a telecommunications carrier shall be censored," while Article 4 states, "The secrecy of communications being handled by a telecommunications carrier shall not be violated."

    Article 21 of The Constitution of Japan states, "Freedom of assembly and association as well as speech, press and all other forms of expression are guaranteed. No censorship shall be maintained, nor shall the secrecy of any means of communication be violated."

    Nakazawa's case further stated that the site blocking is not stipulated in NTT's Internet connection contract.
