Ännu en fildelningstjänst åtalad
Ägaren bakom en fildelningssite i Taiwan uppges vara åtalad för upphovsrättsbrott:
The Pan-Chiao District Prosecutors office has indicted the company operating local file-sharing website Foxy and one person, suspected of being the owner and operator of the site, of violations of Taiwan’s Copyright Law.
Det handlar om den lokala fildelningstjänsten Foxy som under ett antal år varit föremål för myndigheternas uppmärksamhet. Upphovsrättsindustrins representanter välkomnar åtalet och tror att det kommer att sända ut en tydlig signal i det Taiwanesiska samhället.
Taiwan’s Foundation Against Copyright Theft (TFACT) represents the MPA in Taiwan. TFACT executive director Spencer Yang said, “We thank the authorities for their efforts in taking down this website and sending a strong signal to those who use it as a tool for piracy. For sure, content owners and creators in Taiwan are greatly encouraged by the fact that action is being taken against those who try to steal their work.”
