(CIB) investigators for arresting two men who were allegedly streaming and selling copyrighted Japanese adult content.
The men — surnamed Liu (劉) and Yang (楊) — were allegedly streaming the content through their Web site “AVQ Online Adult Theater” and charging users a monthly fee of NT$599 (US$19) for access.
The Web site had more than 10,000 users before it was shut down, investigators said, adding that users could pay the fees at convenience stores.
About 30,000 pirated DVDs, a PC, Web servers, hard drives and other equipment were confiscated in a raid of the men’s store, investigators said, adding that the Japanese copyright holder, S1 No. 1 Style, was notified of the arrests. [FULL STORY]
