Hong Kong customs official Michael Kwan has confirmed that his office has arrested a 14-year old boy for allegedly uploading over 2000 Cantonese language pop songs to a website and making them available for free download.
The boy has not been officially charged and is free on 2,000 Hong Kong dollars ($373 USD) bail while the investigation continues. Kwan noted this is the third time a teenager has been arrested for uploading music and making it available for free.
All counts of copyright infringement in the nation carry a maximum of four years in prison and a HK$50,000 ($9335 USD) fine.
