Seoul - Google (NASD: GOOG) has prohibited users of Textcube, its Korean blogging service, from uploading songs to their blogs in the wake of new regulations against online piracy, the Korea Times reported. New uploads have been blocked, while previously uploaded songs are now accessible only by blog owners; posting song samples is the only remaining option. Regulators will be empowered to shut down websites in violation of the new provisions against file-sharing as of July.
