Here we go again. The MPA has shutdown a web based movie distribution site in Indonesia. Although, it looks like they've used a newer tactic. The MPA and the Jakarta City Police set up a single pc workstation to watch TokoDVD.com. This works by the user at the Police's end trying to download a movie and in affect, gettin' the ip address of TokoDVD.
If you thought that TokoDVD was just gonna buckle under then think again. The owner of TokoDVD decided to take matters into his own hands. The owner somehow found out was going on and hacked into the police computer and infected it with a virus. The only problem with that was, he didn't know it was a police computer.

Mike Ellis, Senior Vice President and Regional Director, Asia-Pacific, MPA said, 'Within the last six months, Indonesian law enforcement authorities have conducted the country's first ever illegal DVD factory raid, first ever pirate website raids and closures, and targeted retail piracy in the country's shopping malls. Indonesia's increased pressure against illegal pirate websites sends a powerful message to copyright thieves in Indonesia and underscores the Government's commitment to fighting intellectual property theft. |
