“Three Strikes” Law Not Enough, South Korean P2P Sites Forced to Filter
Korean Film Producers Association plans a new crackdown against p2p file sharing using a digital filtering system that it wants all p2p sites to implement or else face “severe measures”. Now doubt about it, after gaining a bad rep for being the first country to enforce the “three strikes” model for repeat copyright infringers, South Korea is determined to maintain it as a press release reveals: “From now on, the failure to install the software will be taken as an offense against consumers and copyright holders. We will seek stern legal measures.” A network of 78 Korean P2P sites, accounting for about 90% of the local online movie downloading sources, have already complied with the request to install the software which identifies copyrighted works on the Web using an audio encoding system.
