Korean authorities have shut down the popular video piracy service TVWIKI, which had millions of users. A special unit of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism arrested the alleged operator, who is also believed to be connected to other streaming platforms. These include OKTOON, which was also pulled offline, and piracy giant NoonooTV, which voluntarily threw in the towel last year.

Providing competition against media monopolies is illegal.

If they can't sell you your memories, they think no one should have them. They will let your memories burn and be lost before they let you own or share them.

They'll keep this up and they will continue to work to make intellectual property never enter the public domain.

I'm too chicken to be a pirate, myself. But I'm aware that pirates and librarians are the only ones with any intent to preserve works of art for the public.
