South Korea Joins the "Three Strikes" Ranks

Glyn Moody writes "For years, the content industries having been trying to get laws passed that would stop people sharing files. For years they failed. Then they came up with the 'three strikes and you're out' idea — and it is starting to be put into law around the world. First we had France, followed by countries like Italy, Ireland — and now South Korea: 'On March 3, 2009, the National Assembly's Committee on Culture, Sports, Tourism, Broadcasting & Communications (CCSTB&C) passed a bill to revise the Copyright Law. The bill includes the so called, "three strikes out" or "graduated response" provision.' Why has the 'three strikes' idea caught on where others have failed? And what is the best way to stop it spreading further?"

With /. being globally accessible; how the fuck aren't spelling posts modded down as Troll?
Honestly, when someone interrupts me to correct my grammar, or waits until I've finished my sentence to correct it, my knee-jerk reaction is to not ever want to communicate with said jackass again (the only obvious exception I can come up with would be in an English class). Online, all I can think of is the old meme: "Arguing on the internet is like participating in the Special Olympics; even if you win you're still retarded."
You sir, are retarded.
