It emerged last week that the Hong Kong authorities have made their first arrest for unauthorised file sharing activity in the territory.
According to reports, the suspect used the BitTorrent file-sharing program to upload three films onto a website to allow others to access them.
Speaking to the Associated Press, spokeswoman for Customs and Excise, Agnes Law explained that the suspect had not been charged, as the Department's investigations were ongoing.
Such copyright violations in Hong Kong carry the possibility of a four year custodial sentence, and fines of $6,400 per unauthorised copy made.
