Just saw this on my daily news feed...

On March 3, 2009, the National Assembly's Committee on Culture, Sports, Tourism, Broadcasting & Communications (CCSTB&C) passed a bill to revise the Copyright Law. The bill includes the so called, "three strikes out" or "graduated response" provision.
...
The provision gives authority to order ISP to send warning letters to the users, delete or stop transmission of illegal reproductions, suspend or terminate the accounts of the users, or close the bulletine boards to the Ministry. It also gives power to order information and telecommunication service providers to block connections to their information and telecommunication network of such ISPs.
...
The modified bill will be up for vote in April, and it is most likely that the bill pass in the National Assembly and come into force in April. |

bah wont happen, just think how many things go completely unenforced in this country e.g. traffic laws/suggestions, health and safety, noise pollution, building regs.
There will be one or two examples made and most if not all people will get away with it.
KT aren't going to ban such a big percentage of their subscribers.
Anyway three strikes and I'm out....of Korea, cus I would go insane without bittorrent. |

This doesn't involve P2P it seems. It's mostly for people posting things on web pages which people then download.
Same thing in China. If someone complains, you have to take it down. No big deal. |
