Singapore- The Recording Industry Association of Singapore (RIAS) filed complaints with the police in 25 new cases of illegal music file-sharing and downloading, Channel News Asia reported Tuesday. The 25 new cases were reported just days after the police had raided the homes of seven illegal music file-sharers.
In February, two Singaporean men had been jailed four months and three months, respectively, for distributing hundreds of pirated digital music files through an Internet chat programme.
They were the first to be punished for a non-profit offence under Singapore’s Copyright Act.
A third man was let off with a warning because he was only 16 years old at that time of the offence.
