Korean TV Networks Threaten P2P Sites

Warn 79 sites of “large scale” lawsuits unless they take measures to prevent copyright infringement by users a little over a month before the country becomes the first in the world to have a “three-strikes” system targeting illegal file-sharing. South Korea’s 3 national TV companies, KBS, MBC, and SBS, issued a joint statement recently threatening 79 P2P and content hosting sites with “large scale” lawsuit unless they take steps to prevent users from sharing copies of their TV shows illegally online. “We will continue to negotiate with companies that are aggressive in introducing measures to protect the copyrighted broadcasting content,” said the letter.
