KFPA backs Web filtering system.
SEOUL
-- A local copyright collective will push to require all movie sites to
install a digital filtering system, which will prevent its users from
uploading unauthorized content on the Web by the end of the year, said
the Korean Film Producers Association. In a joint press conference held
Wednesday with the Digital Content Network Association, representatives
of the two groups explained that all P2P sites that refuse to adopt the
system by year-end will face “severe measures.” As of Tuesday, a
network of 78 local P2P sites, accounting for roughly 90% of online
movie downloading sites here, have agreed to install the software,
which tracks down unauthorized files on the Web using an audio encoding
system.
si vuole installare un software di filtraggio su tutti i server P2P
(?), cosa che hanno gia' fatto 78 siti (??) che servono circa il 90%
(???) dei film scaricati. (Inutile ricordare che P2P = da utente a
utente e che quindi questa frase non ha senso...)
The need for copyright protection continues to be an issue here. On the same day of the conference, CJ Entertainment announced that “Thirst,” the director Park Chan-wook’s latest vampire flick, had been leaked to downloading sites in Korea and United States. In August, the hit disaster film “Haeundae” had also been circulated on the Web, pushing the distributer to file a lawsuit.
Pensate! il giorno della conferenza, c'era un film di CJ Entertainment sui network P2P!
Leggendo le due notizie assieme viene da pensare che, evidentemente, dato che si vogliono portare in tribunale almeno 10.000 persone per danni cosi' ingenti, i numeri annunciati da Sony potrebbero essere falsi..
