Apparently some porn studios haven’t realized what a disaster the RIAA’s “sue ‘em all” strategy has been. A bunch of US- and Japan-based porn studios have supposedly decided to sue 10,000 individuals in South Korea for uploading unauthorized porn. Do they actually think this will help their business models? On top of this, they’re asking the police to investigate as well, hoping to get some of the lawsuits to lead to jailtime. I’m sure that South Korean citizens are happy their gov’t signed a “free trade” agreement with the US that included a bunch of provisions put there by US entertainment industry lobbyists, resulting in these strict new copyright laws.
