Government to Begin Crackdown on Illegal Duplication of Software
by Lee Won-ho Aug.30.2000

The Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) and Police authorities
will crack down on the illegal duplication and reproduction of computer software
from September 18 to November 30. Private organizations such as universities
and other educational institutes along with government offices will be targeted in
the investigation.

Recent policies that aim to stimulate computer use, particularly the Internet, have
fostered an onslaught of illegal duplication of copyrighted computer software.
Reproduction of intellectual property is raging in computer academies and
Internet Cafes. In addition, hyper-speed Internet connections such as ADSL and
Cable Modems, make the situation worse. It takes only two or three minutes to
download a whole CD-title through these connections.

"The first investigation of the illegal duplication of copyrighted software in 1998,
resulted in a 256% increase in computer software exports that year," said a MIC
spokesman. This is clear evidence that the violation of intellectual property
impedes the computer software industry in Korea.
