Chapter 450
The arrest of the Helltokkaeng operators was a big issue for a while.
In the case of adult sites, there is virtually no related industry now, and in the case of gambling sites, only the users are harmed, so the damage to the industry is minimal. But the story is different for illegal sharing sites.
The number of visitors and sales of webtoon sites has decreased significantly, and the estimated damage to the industry is over 300 billion won.
But unfortunately, the punishment for copyright infringement in Korea is not very severe. The main culprit, Park Jeong-seon, will get 5 years at best, and the accomplices will probably get 1 or 2 years and be done with it.
There is still a civil lawsuit pending, but even if a multi-billion won compensation ruling is made, there is no way to collect it if they say they have nothing.
They probably already diverted some of the money they earned elsewhere. After a few years in prison, they'll come out and live well with the hidden money.
I understood after hearing the operator's name.
"Ah! So that's why he used an ID related to Arirang?"
Because he's a Park from Miryang and his name is Jeong-seon?
