South Korea and Vietnam Cooperate in Investigations on Illegal Distribution of Content
Vietnam Ministry of Public Security and Prosecutors Invited... Establishing a Cooperation System
Korea and Vietnam will share the current status of investigations into illegal content distribution and seek cooperation measures. This will take place at the "4th International Online Content Protection Seminar" held by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Copyright Protection Agency on the 8th at the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul. Agencies responsible for investigating copyright infringement and responding to illegal reproduction, including Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security, Prosecutor's Office, Courts, and Ministry of Information and Communications, are invited to establish a cooperative system.
Cooperation with overseas investigative agencies is essential in investigating operators of illegal reproduction sites. Most servers are located abroad, and operators also reside overseas, thus falling outside the scope of domestic law. Since last year, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has been hosting international online content protection seminars by inviting related agencies from the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia. Vietnam, participating this time, is a country where Korean content is highly popular. There are also more than 170,000 Korean residents.

Based on the "Measures to Eradicate Illegal Content Distribution" announced in July, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Copyright Protection Agency will strengthen international investigative cooperation. The focus is on cooperation in investigations of illegal content distribution to prevent revenue leakage in the content industry. Lim Seong-hwan, Director of the Copyright Bureau at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said, "Strengthening Vietnam's copyright protection regulations is a fundamental measure to eradicate illegal content distribution between the two countries in the future," adding, "We will continue to provide necessary human and technical support."
