HK student caught for sharing pirated songs on-line

Latest Updated by 2006-05-12 09:11:22

Hong Kong Customs Anti-Internet Piracy Team has arrested a 16-year-old student in Sau Mau Ping after cracking a case in which more than 600 pirated songs were provided for free downloading from a personal website.

According to a government press release on Thursday, acting on a complaint from a copyright owner, following intensive investigations, Customs officers seized from a residential unit in Sau Mau Ping a desktop computer with broadband Internet devices, worth about 7,700 HK dollars (987 U.S. dollars).

The student is now on bail pending further investigation.

More than 600 pirated songs had been available on the personal website for free downloading by Internet users. The personal computer had been converted into a server by means of a "Dynamic IP Re-direction Service" provided by a U.S. website.
