VENDORS of illegally copied films, music or other copyright products online will face up to three years in jail, China's law enforcement agencies announced yesterday.
A circular jointly published by the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security states that anyone earning more than 50,000 yuan (US$7,553) from online piracy faces the maximum three-year prison term.
Xiong Xuanguo, vice president of the Supreme People's Court, said this made the fight against online piracy more straightforward. "There were varied views on how to define online piracy and what penalties should be given," he said. "This gives a clear answer."
