 |
|
Anyone seen the print edition of todays Korea Herald??
"The music industry filed a criminal lawsuit yesterday against 1.985 Internet file-swapping program users, in a move to stem unauthorised song swapping on the Web......[The Recording industry association of Korea] has decided to seek legal action against individual Internet song-swappers."
Anyone know anything more about this? Following hot on the heels of last week's suit against Soribada, I'd say that P2P networks are about to become the target of "Crackdown of the Month" here in the land of the morning calm.
Thoughts?? |

| You can bet they're not going after money users owe to Sting and P Diddy (or just Diddy now). They're going after services and users of those services that trade mostly Korean songs. If you're using one of the major english p2p programs, you probably don't have anything to worry about. |

| Unless of course somebody decides that 'making an example' of a few foreigners is a good strategy.... |
