Korea slaps $327,067 fine on Twitch for suspending service::The Korean telecommunications watchdog said Friday it has slapped a fine of 435 million won ($327,067) on the U.S. live video streaming platform Twitch, which suspended its video-on-demand (VOD) service in the country last year.
Wow.
User wants to watch a video, and the company hosting the video gets a bill. Companies move their servers out of South Korea. OK, but if speeds drop too much then they’ve invented a fine to punish companies for working around the law.
I wonder if corruption or stupidity more likely lead to that law. Preferred this writeup of theirs BTW (clarity).
