HONG KONG — A Hong Kong court sentenced a user of the BitTorrent file-sharing software who shared movies with other Internet users to three months in jail Monday for copyright infringement.
The Tuen Mun Magistrates' Court meted out the ruling to Chan Nai-ming, 38, who was convicted on charges of copyright infringement on Oct 24 for using BitTorrent to share three movies with dozens of users on the Internet. Copies of the Hollywood films 'Daredevil,' 'Red Planet' and 'Miss Congeniality' were found on his home computer during a customs raid in January.
