South Korea arrests 100+ in online porn crackdown
 

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - The world's most wired country is raiding cyberspace's red-light district in a campaign pitting Confucian morals against modern technology.

Since January, the main prosecutor's office in Seoul has issued arrest warrants for about 100 people charged with spreading obscene material under South Korea's telecommunications law, a crime carrying penalties of up to a year in jail or a nearly $10,000 fine.

....

The country is considering a crackdown offline as well, debating whether it will double penalties for crimes related to prostitution, long illegal, but tolerated.

Korea has an active sex trade - both online and off. According to the Korean Institute of Criminology, the amount spent on prostitution alone amounted to $23.6 billion in 2002, the last year for which figures were available.

South Korea has their neighbors (or countrymen depending on your POV) pointing nukes at them and they are worried about this? Wake the fuck up and smell the uranium.

::editing config files::

The population of South Korea is 48.6 million

Assuming that no more than 1% of the population could be prostitutes, the maximum number of prostitutes is 48,600

At 2.6 billion, each prostitute would earn a minimum of $53,497 per year

At $30 per fuck, that's 1,783 fucks per year or an average of almost 5 per day.
