ADVERTISEMENT This was the largest indictment since the government launched a crackdown on digital piracy last September. The culture ministry said the 39 included "heavy uploaders" accused of receiving money from Internet service providers in return for posting more than 1,000 files on local peer-to-peer sites. It promised to step up the crackdown by operating a 24-hour monitoring system to track down illegal on-line trading. South Korea, one of the world's most wired countries, has been under pressure to strengthen rules protecting intellectual property rights. Official data showed digital theft caused an annual loss of more than two trillion won (1.29 billion dollars) with almost 20,000 files of copyrighted content circulating illegally last year. Last month the chiefs of four leading local Internet service providers were sentenced to one year in prison and a 30-million-won fine for facilitating illegal distribution of copyrighted content.
