Hi students,

As discussed during lesson today, this case raises issues about copyright infringement (intellectual property protection) and also privacy of individuals. You can read more about the case here: http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/illegal-downloaders-dallas-buyers-club-get-sued-film-makers

I would like you to share your after-thoughts on this case and think about how this is relatable to GP. Please limit your post to approximately 150 words.

Here are some questions which you should be thinking of:

– Is combating internet piracy easy?

– What is Singapore’s commitment to promoting itself as an intellectual property hub?

– Should the details of the ISP holders be revealed to the filmmaker?

– Is suing these people the best way to tackle piracy?
