The music industry has forced Korean P2P peer-to-peer (P2P) networks to block MP3 file sharing.
Responding to music industry requests to block illegal music sharing, the association of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing service providers in South Korea have decided not to allow transfers of MP3 music files, as of Friday.
“We held an urgent meeting last week, and eight of 11 member companies agreed to block MP3 files until we find ways to charge users,” said Jun Hyun-sung, chairman of the association. However, he refused to name the eight companies because he worries they may suffer a disadvantage in negotiations with the music industry.
