South Korea's top Internet portal to filter out pirated musicSEOUL, Dec 20, 2008 (Asia Pulse Data Source via COMTEX) -- NHN Corp., the operator of South Korea's largest Internet portal Naver, said Friday it will launch a new piracy prevention system next week designed to prevent copyrighted music from appearing on the site. The new system will incorporate a software program that can automatically detect when pirated content is uploaded and delete it from postings made on Internet blogs and community sites run by Naver. NHN says the accuracy rate for the program exceeds 80 percent. Earlier this year, the Korea Music Copyright Association sued NHN Corp. and Daum Communications Corp., the nation's two leading Internet portals, accusing them of overlooking illegal file sharing taking place on their portals. Prosecutors raided both companies' headquarters in October as part of efforts to crack down on online copyright infringement. [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage ] |
