The director of a company which sells Android TV Box sets pleaded guilty in court recently for promoting hardware and software which allow the bypassing of technological protection measures on copyrighted broadcast works.
The court has set March 1 for sentencing and the case was prosecuted by the ministry’s deputy public prosecutor Tan Chiew King. “The company, located in I-City, Persiaran Multimedia, Seksyen 7, Shah Alam, Selangor has violated Section 41 of the Copyrights Act 1987 for selling any technology or device for the purpose of bypassing any effective technological measures stated under subsection 36A of the same Act,” the ministry said.
