Emilex used our news submit to tell us that, just like its American counterpart known as the
RIAA, the Recording Industry Association of Singapore (RIAS) will
also be going after individuals for file-sharing violations:
Rias has identified individual offenders, and has already taken warned that file-swoppers cannot count on the anonymity of the Internet to hide their activities either. |
Rias' chief executive officer Edward Neubronner told The Straits
Times: 'Rias has taken action against persons who infringe copyright over
the Internet, and will not hesitate to continue to do
so.
'Those who think that the Internet offers anonymity so that they
can get away with copyright infringement should think
again.'
According to the article almost all the music files found on the Internet are
illegal copies, and the picture is of a large number of Singaporeans who breach
intellectual property laws. The RIAS is working to change
that.
