Colombia is the latest country to criminalise copyright violations and introduce stiff new penalties.

President Alvaro Uribe has signed laws that increase both the maximum prison term, from five to eight years, and the minimum term from two to four years.

The laws also introduce criminal sanctions for the violation of technological protection measures. Cracking DRM systems or even copying restricted content is now a criminal offence.
