rfa.org — Authorities in North Korea are intensifying a crackdown on imports of South Korean popular culture, especially television dramas, but the South?s ?Korean Wave? may already have taken a strong hold in the isolated Stalinist state. The crackdown includes public executions of those found responsible for copying and distributing such materials.

?There have been two or three reports of public executions of North Korean young people in major cities including Chungjin, as punishment for having illegally copied and distributed South Korean visual material.?There ya go, RIAA!

This is not anti-piracy - they are two different things. The N. Korean government doesn't want citizens to copy/distribute S. Korean movies because it will criticize the communist government, whereas anti-piracy in a capitalistic country would be done to minimize "lost" profits.

North Korea executes civillians even when there is no problem, just to keep the rest scared and under control.
