Just a reminder (or in case you missed it in April)
'Upload a Song, Lose Your Internet Connection'

Repeatedly kicked in the teeth by bloggers, first for the controversial decision to resume U.S. beef imports and then for ineptitude in economic policies, beleaguered government officials have since been attempting to impose rules on Internet users.
As a result, Korea has now become one of the first democracies to aggressively use the law to hold Internet users and Web sites to account, and the revised copyright law represents the boldest step yet in this direction.... |

They are not talking torrent file-sharing here. They are talking about direct, downloadable links to popular (Korean) music on websites visited by thousands or maybe millions of users.
Try posting direct download links to popular American pop songs, on a big U.S. site and see what happens. You'll likely get your butt sued off by the RIAA, rather than a "strike". |
