Three Singaporeans nabbed
for illegally distributing MP3 music ...
TODAYonline - Singapore
Three Singaporeans were arrested for illegally sharing 20,000 MP3 songs
over the Internet, marking the first time home computer users who do not profit
from swapping digital music are targetted in the fight against piracy, police
said.
Acting on a tip-off in March from the Record Industry Association Singapore (RIAS),
a trade body representing record companies, police monitored the trio, including
a 16-year-old student, before making the arrests in pre-dawn raids Wednesday, a
police statement said.
The three men were arrested at their respective homes where police found four
computers and one laptop with 20,000 MP3 music files for distribution over a
chat channel on the Internet.
