A group of 50 U.S. and Japanese pornography producers have filed a lawsuit against South Korean Internet users for illegally uploading their content on the Internet for commercial purposes.
South Korean police said the 50 foreign firms have selected a local law firm to seek damages from about 10,000 heavy uploaders in South Korea.
"We selected about 10,000 user IDs that earned financial benefits from habitually uploading pornography on the Web sites," an official at the law firm was quoted as saying by Yonhap News Agency.
"We also plan to take legal action against some 80 file-sharing Web sites for aiding and abetting the distribution of such contents."

Where are the demonstrators with headbands, signs and slogans now when it comes to porn? Koreans are too small for this industry. It would only embarrass them. (Necessity is the mother of inventions.)

Ah! storm, a man who enjoy a good one liner. Korean do not understand one liners. This is one of the thing I miss while living in Korean. So many of my friend in the USA sprinkle one liner through out our conservations.
