Porn Studios Sue 10,000 Over Illegal Uploads
A group of up to 50 US and Japan-based adult movie studios have filed a mass copyright complaint against around 10,000 South Koreans accused of being heavy uploaders of porn.
According to a National Police Agency spokesman, the lawsuit against the individuals was filed at 10 police stations in the South Korean capital, Seoul, and the Gyeonggi province.
The studios also filed suit against 80 adult websites accused of aiding and abetting the distribution of the illegally uploaded movies, after they charged for access to the material.
The studios have also asked the police to investigate the infringements, which potentially carry a jail sentence in South Korea.
The lawsuit notes that the law firm representing the studios has also harvested around 100,000 IP addresses of those who downloaded the movies.

Isn’t the idea of getting the world “off” the greatest plan of the porn industry? We all know those little slanty-eyes are horny as hell (love hotel anyone?) so let em wank their 1″ dicks to as much as we can give em. Shit, one porn star can crank out a thousand films in their career so what’s the big deal?
