Seoul, South Korea - South Korea recently passed a new law that will see the Internet connections of repeat file-swappers suspended or disconnected, and also gives the government wide latitude in shutting down sites that are found hosting even a few copyrighted files, Ars Technica reported, citing a Korea Times article.
