I happened to read the post from Liezle's blog regarding the new laws which are about to be implemented by the Korean government against copyright infringement. If you want to read more just click here to visit her site.
As what I have understood the scope ranges from uploading videos to and from You Tube, downloads of dramas, music, even song lyrics and basically anything which doesn't really belong to you.
Here in England certain sites will not allow you to upload videos containing famous songs to sites such as Facebook which to me is so dubious since they allow you to upload videos from You Tube directly. Another thing is printing photographs. I had this photo of us taken in studio in the Philippines and I'd like it reproduced for personal use but the Kodak company won't do it since it was an original photo taken by a professional photographer. When it comes to music I noticed a massive clamped down on the Playlist.com song downloads. I also found out that they were actually sued by major music companies in America which I think is not a big surprise at all.
To sum it all, if I have to keep this site going you probably won't see any downloads at all from You Tube and other sites since 'we are not really allowed to'. In other words get your own material like most paparazzi do. Now wait a minute, if I bought the original and upload it here would that still be an infringement?? your guess is as good as mine.
