Hong Kong guy arrested due to uploading two movies to BT

There is this 38-year old jobless guy upload two movies 《十級颶風》及《故園風雨後》to the BT network. At first, he seeds the movies for only half an hour to an hour, and no one finish the download. But he becomes offline so as to hide his identity. Another day, he seed again, and soon he disconnect when someone finish the download. However, his actions are all being monitored, and he was arrested, as someone has already successfully download the movie 100% from him. This is the 2nd case in Hong Kong, last year Sept, a girl also arrested due to the same reason.

被捕的三十八歲中國籍男子,上周五(二十四日)在家中透過互聯網,將兩套懷疑侵權的外國電影的BT種子檔案,發放到海外網站,然後在本地討論區開帖刊登超連結,更向網民表示「有回應才有分享」。海關人員隨即展開調查,追蹤涉案電腦位置。

該男子當日發放種子檔案的時間只有一小時至個半小時,沒有網民能完整下載,估計他的做法是想隱藏身分,減低被執法人員偵測機會。至前日,該男子再登入BT上載檔案,當時約有一萬三千多人正等候下載電影。約十五分鐘後,不少網民電腦已完成了下載,該男子迅速離綫。海關見時機成熟,即時掩至疑犯灣仔家中採取拘捕行動,並檢獲一台桌上電腦及有關周邊設備,總值約一萬元。

海關在○七年三月開始使用「網綫監察系統」,二十四小時自動監察網上的侵權活動,特別是本港各熱門網上討論區的活動,但系統並無監測FOXY。自推出以來,海關已偵破兩宗在互聯網上載侵權電影案件。第一宗案件於去年九月中,一名二十七歲女收銀員同樣以BT上載兩套外語電影供人下載,被「網綫」監察洞悉,該女子其後被拘捕。
