Korean TV networks take aim at P2P pirates
Friday 29 May 2009 | 02:47 PM CET
Korean television networks are upping their offensive against peer-to-peer pirates, threatening legal action should file-sharing sites fail to remove illegal videos from their networks, the Korea Times reported. The internet units of the country’s three national television channels KBS, MBC and SBS jointly issued a warning to 79 peer-to-peer and “Web hard” online storage services they accuse of being the most severe copyright violators. The letter, dispatched through Seoul-based law firm, Yoon Yang Kim Shin & Yu, which represents the television stations, predicts a “large scale” of lawsuits against internet companies that fail to introduce effective measures to prevent users from sharing illegal copies of television shows. The 79 Internet companies named by the television networks include Nate operator SK Communications and Cyworld. Also on the list is Mgoon, an online video service, and file-sharing services such as Nowcom, which was also sued by a movie industry lobby last year, Wedisk, Endisk and Idisk, operated by Paran, a search engine and portal. The television networks sent similar warnings to seven peer-to-peer and web hard companies in January. The television networks’ strengthened action comes at a time when the government has been pushing a clampdown on illegal online content. From July, the country will enforce a new anti-file sharing provision that allows regulators to shut down web sites after a third warning over copyright infringement, regardless of whether or not the copyright holders complained about it.
