NONTHABURI, Feb 25 (TNA) – The newly amended Copyright Act will take effect on Aug 23 and expand copyright protection to online material to support the digital content industry of the country, according to the Department of Intellectual Property.

 

Vuttikrai Leewiraphan, director-general of the department, said that the department successfully pushed for the amendment to the Copyright Act B.E.2537 that suited the digital era.

 

The amended law allowed internet-based service providers such as Facebook and YouTube to remove pirate content from their systems right when they were informed of the offence without having to seek a relevant court order, he said.

Maybe I'm missing something, but surely Facebook and YouTube are not Thai companies, and don't provide their services from Thailand, so why are they currently unable to remove pirated content without a Thai (or other) court order?

Does this mean Thailand, the hub of copying, will no longer be making Nike sportswear in bri-nylon?
